It has no voice to tell you how he/she feels but it needs it’s mommy. Maybe your not in a place right now where you can properly raise a baby, that’s okay there are millions of ppl out there who would love to adopt your beautiful baby! Abortion is murder and you don’t know how awful you will feel if you take that baby’s life. It will cause depression and a deep since of loss. Plz don’t take your baby’s life. Just think, that life that you just ended could have been the cure to cancer. That one life that you decided not to save could have very well saved millions 🤍
