[Serious] How did your abortion go? How do you feel about it ?

I am a man so I didn't technically have an abortion but I was there every step of the way with my wife. We had only been together a really short while and we found out she was pregnant. I was as happy as I had ever been in my life. It actually gave life a meaning. We went to every check up and the baby was perfect. About 10 weeks in I could feel my little girl kicking me through her tummy. Twelve week check up our doctors say that we need to go to a another doctor for a closer look at our child. I think nothing of it, you know, just a regular check up just in case. Then my world falls apart I get a phone call to come home right away. There is something wrong my our child and there is absolutely no way she would have a normal life and very few live past the first few years of life. My wife had a child from another relationship and the thought of him walking on her dead was traumatizing. By this point we were past 19 weeks and only had days to decide what to do. People were very supportive others were talking to us about god and how it could work out. We decided to get an abortion. I remember clearly standing behind my wife as the needle pierced into her stomach and the look of the doctor staring at the screen waiting for our baby to stop moving. When he said it was done I was heart broken. With this type of abortion the baby stays in her stomach for a bit before they have her deliver the baby. The thought of what she had to go through with our dead child inside of her because of a decide we had to make was hard. We delivered the baby I believe a day later. I held her and cried. We didn't have much money so we couldn't afford to get her cremated so instead after we were done saying our goodbyes they took her off and I have no idea what happened from there. Every year we go to a ceremony for parents of lost children and its extremely hard. I am so glad to have had the abortion and I truly feel it was the right decision but the experience is something I never wish on anyone else.
