I had an abortion----- At the age of 20, I found myself pregnant. I knew in my heart I could not bring a new life into the world I was in. In Portugal abortion was illegal, and it is still illegal today. I was fortunate enough to find a midwife that performed illegal abortions. I was also very lucky that my family did not find out. If they had found out, they would have forced me to carry the pregnancy to term by locking me up. I know my decision to have an abortion brought me closer to God or my higher consciousness. I know if I had a child without freeing myself first from the vicious circle or karmic wheel I was in, it would have gotten me deeper in the vicious circle or karmic wheel, and I would have taken an innocent child with me. I would have gotten further away from God or higher consciousness. I would never have had the opportunity to leave Portugal, where I would never have gotten the information I needed to free myself. I always knew in my heart in order for me to become free, I would have to leave home and Portugal. I would like to share with you this answer Dr. Deepak Chopra gave to a questioner on his website: Question: What do you think God feels about abortion? Answer: God's feelings about abortion can only be known to us from the level of our own God responses. If we are focused upon the Reactive Response, then God's view of abortion to us will be according to laws of judgment and righteousness. When we have achieved unity with God in the seventh stage, we can know what God feels directly. In this stage one knows the truth of life beyond the boundaries of time and physical body. Action and behavior is not seen as good or bad, it is seen as various expressions of one unbounded field of consciousness, existence and bliss. Any action or human choice is evaluated in terms of whether it brings you closer to this awakening of unity with God or not. That can only be determined by looking within someone's heart, not by looking at their behavior. I don't think God supports certain politics or other human beliefs and dislikes others. Abortion, like any human action or decision can bring one closer to God or not. It's not the category of activity that determines whether it brings you closer to God, it is the love in your heart. If we need to specify what God's feelings are, we could say God feels joy and love for those actions which lead to closeness to the divine and compassion and tolerance for those actions that don't.
