People would realize that they were almost murdered.

To give you a real answer, I think it might show to the child that life is important and using abortion would prevent that wonderful child from being born. Of course if the child turned out to be a pain to deal with, then they wouldn't want themselves, but who really thinks that?

Parenting must be stressful. If I found out that my mother almost aborted me, I would feel bad for her that she had to consider that choice.

What? Your mom almost held the mayo? Tsk tsk. :D

Side: Yes

No because that would hurt your child's feelings and the child would get the thought that your parents never wanted that child.

Side: No

What the hell would they do with that information ?

Side: No

Probably cry for a long time and never look the same way again.

Side: Yes

Instead of telling that you almost aborted them, you can tell them that they are adopted and that you're thinking of either getting a refund or putting them up on eBay. ;)

Side: No

Now that is a classic! .

Side: No

I can't think of any possible way that relaying this information to your child would be a good idea.

Maybe if you were arguing with the child and you lost control over your emotions and use it as an attack/response...

Child: Sadface

Parent: "That's right! I was going to abort you. You little Twerp."]

No, not unless you want your child to disown you.

Side: No

No. There is no reason to, it will accomplish nothing except for probably successfully making the child depressed. So what is the point?

Side: No

No. You should only tell your kid if it was aborted .

Side: No

No why would you want to tell them that lol. Unless you want your kids to be out there protesting against abortion I wouldnt tell them anything :).

Side: No

I see zero potential benefit from telling them.

I see large potential harm from telling them.

No brainer for me!

Side: No
