Let me tell you a little something about Planned Parenthood, I HATE THEM!!! They ruined my life, at least the one on Mott in NY did. I was taken to the one in Smithtown Long Island, I was 9 weeks pregnant, I wanted the child, he didn't, the woman at Smithtown was kind to me, and listened as I told her my story. She stood by my side and told me not to have the abortion done, that I was NOT a candidate and that no reputable place would touch me with a ten foot pole. That was Wed. April 22,2003. On Sat. April 25,2003 he took me to another Planned Parenthood, the one on Mott. We had agreed that if they wouldn't do it then the baby would come. I went into the back, sure I would come out pregnant, but came out empty. There are things that led me to going to that second Planned Parenthood that I don't choose to discuss on this board, but I did talk freely about to the "counselor". She was all for me having the abortion, even though I told her I wanted my baby. She just kept pounding me, and pounding me, making me feel like I had to do this, because what kind of life would my child have with a father like that, why would I want to damn my child to such a life. It made no difference to her that I wanted my baby, she just cared that he didn't. I remember my feet being put into he stirrups, crying, the doctor asking me if I wanted to go through with this, me saying no, that I wanted my baby but that I was being forced against my will to do it. He looked at me told me to stop crying and proceeded to put me to sleep. When I awoke I was screaming for my baby, begging God to please let me find out that it hadn't really happened. My blood pressure was 170/130, the people were panicking, and I was dead inside. I chose to cut my self on occasion's were the pain was too much to bare. I went to group therapy, but still the nightmares continue. My daughter will never know what it is to be held, I will never hear her laugh, see her smile. My life is broken and empty in so many ways. Planned Parenthood can make all the jokes it wants, but in my eyes they, at least on Mott Street, are the devil. I became pregnant again 4 months after the termination and now have a beautiful 14 month old son, but my heart still aches for my lost child. Planned Parenthood may never know the damage they caused to my life.
