I wish the best for you and your family. What can I say, except that I have been there too.
We all have our reasons for our choices.
You may find a lack of support and even nastiness in this society for the choices you have made.
But, you have my support.

Yes, I have been faced with this CHOICE. And I proceeded to terminate, safely, the pregnancy. I had no regrets, then or now. In fact, in my youth I terminated 3 pregnancies.
The only problem I have faced regarding these is: judgement by others. I once had an intake nurse leave the room and send in a different nurse to take my information AFTER I was honest and stated I had aborted three times. This was at the ob/gyn office when I was pregnant, and CHOOSING to remain so.
I now lie when asked about abortions in my gyn history!
