I read the article from the Daily Mail but now the link doesn’t work.
Once again, of course, it’s always the woman who bears the responsibility and brunt of the consequences of abortion.
This is one of the main reasons why contraception and abortion are so enslaving.
Being able to say “no” and to wait until the man is committed to you in marriage makes all the difference.
Hmm, that’s weird. If you do a google search for “Sarah Hewson Daily Mail” you should be able to find a cached version of the article.
yes it is but when I go to the blog and also Jill’s link they don’t work….
Angel, I noticed that, too. I have looked for a new link, but it appears the article has actually been moved or removed from the Daily Mail online. Very strange! Maybe they’ll put it back up elsewhere.
Here is a new link:

*Disclaimer: I know nothing about the site otherwise.
From Parenting freedom: “My student abortion has affected the whole of my life, yet Richard appears to have escaped unscathed.”
My heart aches for this woman. I hope she finds peace.
Even though Sarah doesn’t come out and say it, she effectively rejected Richard a few too many times. First with killing his baby. That was creepy. He stood by her in love even though he didn’t have the strength to challenge her. If they had had parents that had been telling them since they were little that life and family is more important than credentials or whatever they were working towards, they might have had the background and the preset priorities to know better. More likely they had parents with unrealistic visions and expectations for their kids, who would prefer their kids to be “successful”. Then Richard asks to marry her and she rejects him again. I mean how much is a guy supposed to take? It goes to show that you can’t please everyone. A strong willed but misguided woman like Sarah could have jerked him around for years. I feel sorry for both of them, but I have to think he is better off without her. She would not have been a good wife for him because she put everything before him. He was smart to realize that trying to please her was not going to work for either of them. Very sad story. I feel sorry for both of them. An extremely good object lesson for all parents with children in college. Remind them that college is supposed to serve them not the other way around. Family comes first. Nothing on earth is more important than your children.
This just in from Reuters

‘Obama Backers Show Signs of Disappointment’
“Obama’s support has dropped below 50 percent from nearly 70 percent after 15 months in office, Gallup opinion polls show.”
“Blacks, Latinos and young people made up the bulk of the new voters who secured comfortable congressional majorities for the Democrats in 2008. Each could be a problem this year.”
“Obama is the first black U.S. president and more than 90 percent of black voters still approve of his record, Gallup says.”
————————————————-
Looks like B.O. is losing the fringe of the left and the ‘independents’ but support from his posse is holding firm.
Though the ACORN crowd may be able to intimidate opponents of the left from voting, I doubt they have the numbers to compel the rest of the disappointed independents from going to the polls in November.

“Obama was a vessel that everybody poured their hopes into. The gay community was no different,” said John Henning, director of the Los Angeles-based grass-roots group Love Honor Cherish, before the president’s California visit.
“What is really happening in the gay community is we are going into a hibernation phase,” Henning added.
—————————————————
I am waiting in rapt attention to see what ‘change’ the homosexual communities long sleep will have wrought when they exit their caves.
Maybe a good long rest will both refressh and renew their minds and they will realize B.O.’s agenda is sinking the same boat they share with the rest of America.

of course they were having too much fun to take the time out of their lives to have the baby….
and then he became a sperm donor after she had the abortion – that’s very interesting…..
and I wonder why the man is now contacting her after all these years…. Maybe marriage is a bit boring for him and he figures Sarah can bring back some excitement in his life…
what a bunch of losers these two people are. Truly.
The article has been removed from the original source – the Daily Mail (or Mail Online) in reaction to a very valid complaint because it is not an accurate reflection and completely misrepresents my (Sarah Hewson) thoughts and feelings on the matter – and many facts in the article are just not true.
It was not written by me – but by a journalist and has deeply upset me, my family and my friends. The words used in the article were not mine. They know a very different character to the one portrayed in the article which is an independent, giving, and supportive woman who has absolutely no regrets about her abortion, and who certainly does not blame anyone for her situation. I certainly didn’t earn anything like £50K in my 20s and spent my early 30s caring for my father who was sick with terminal cancer, spending thousands on holistic treatments for him, as well as leaving my career for 6 months to voluntarily sell my father’s business for no monetry gain- actually going into considerable debt during this period. Currently I run a small novelty cake business, and work as a professional singer, and an occasional freelance web-designer. What I do for a living is much more important to me than how much money I earn. I am very happy with my long-term boyfriend (of 15 months), Alex, and am looking forward to a future together with him.
I agreed to do a story (with a very different perspective) because I needed the money, and I responded to a journalist’s advert. I don’t earn that much right now (though you’d never know it from the article) and due to the credit crunch I lost a contract at the start of the year leaving me unable to pay my bills.
In response to some of your comments –
*Richard never asked me to marry him, and was actually very unfaithful to me.
*My abortion certainly never left me “questioning my life”.
*Far from putting everything before others, I have often been accused of not putting myself first enough. I will do anything to help and protect my family and friends, and have done so countless times – sacrificing my livelihood to help my dad when he got cancer and then mum when she got cancer 2 years ago (and campaigned for the correct treatment which she eventually got – and as a result her cancer has not returned). I actually wouldn’t have been able to spend the time on helping them if I had a child in tow.
*I still have time to have children – but if I never do, then I still won’t regret that abortion.
I want to be a good mother and bring up a child as best I can, giving it the best environment – and as a 19/20 year old at college I know that wasn’t going to happen.
*’Loser’ – ? Now that’s an interesting one. I wonder where prejudice and over-zealous judgment falls in the grand scheme of things….
It’s bizarre how this story is so interesting to people in the US. It’s not even a sad story – apart from the fact that it was horribly misportrayed in the press. I really don’t think it is much of a story at all. 1 in 3 women in the UK between the ages of 16 and 44 have had an abortion.
It’s been very interesting reading all your comments though.
“1 in 3 women in the UK between the ages of 16 and 44 have had an abortion.”
Are you using these stats to brag or complain? My guess you use them to rationalize.
“Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, and right is right even if nobody is doing it.”
St. Augustine
Ms. Hewson once upon a time I was “young and dumb”, I thought women could have babies whenever they wanted, that women get to “choose” when they conceive a baby, whether their bodies can carry a baby to term, whether they will have a healthy full-term baby, that women could “choose” to plan the “perfect time in their life” to have a baby, etc. etc. You have no idea how misguided and arrogant you are about the sanctity of life. You will NEVER be able to replace, restock, rewind the baby that you aborted inside your womb because the timeing was inconvenient. LIFE has no guarantees, no redos. Every human being is unique with it’s own DNA that can NEVER be replicated, distinctly different from any other human being that will EVER be born. You can argue, you can deny, you can refuse to accept and you do NOT know that you will never regret your abortion. You have only conjecture and wishful thinking making that assumption. I pray for you and pray you NO ill will. Jesus Christ loves you and so do I. I have held women’s hands as they miscarried babies even babies they did not plan or think they “wanted”, hugged them after they delivered stillborn babies, held their hands as their babies struggled to live, fighting for every single breath and saw the tears, heard their inconsolable sobs as their babies lost their fight for life. You have no idea how precious and invaluable life is, even the life of the baby you aborted.
True story: A friend years ago married a man who wanted no children, she was “young and dumb” and agreed to this arrangement. She used birth control meticulously, never missed, inspite of this she became pregnant anyway. Her husband told her “get rid if it, I told you I don’t want any children”. She thought about it, realized she could not kill their baby and told him she could not abort their child. He gave her the ultimatum “you abort the baby or I am kicking you out on the street”. Within weeks after the ultimatum, he kicked her out on the street. He divorced her. Friends took her in and helped her out. She delivered a healthy son. Received Jesus Christ as her Savior, became a believer, went to college, graduated and began a career and raised her son by herself. When her son was 5 years old, she met a wonderful Christian man they married, he adopted her son and raised him as their own. They were NEVER able to have any children of their own. Her only son, a great young man, now married has given her the blessing of 4 precious grandchildren. My friend thought like you when she first found out she was pregnant, “I can have other children later and even if I don’t have other children I won’t regret my abortion”. She says, “what I originally thought was WRONG”. I don’t expect you to admit it because you are so deceived right now but I pray you will have your eyes opened one day. My heart breaks for you and for your unborn baby, mutilated in what should have been the most safe, nurturing and protective place in this world inside his/her mother’s womb.
