The journal belonged to her mother and what it revealed was that Jones was almost never born at all.<\/p>\n<p>When her mother, a drug addict, was four months pregnant with Jones, she tried to abort her. Her father didn\u2019t want the baby to be born, which led her mother to make the choice to abort her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe went into the clinic and sat down,\u201d explained Jones. \u201cThey tried to do the saline one but nothing happened to me. My mom wrote that she felt me scream so she made them stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As a result, Jones was born prematurely, weighing just four pounds, two ounces. As a result of the abortion attempt, Jones has had to deal with some health issues, including asthma and hearing difficulties. But on the positive side, she\u2019s living a great life.<\/p>\n<p>Her aunt, her mother\u2019s sister, brought her home from the hospital to take care of her and raise her as her own.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Jones is a student at a Christian high school, and while she still lives with her aunt, she maintains a close relationship with her mother. When she discovered this family secret about the abortion attempt on her life, Jones dealt with a lot of emotions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitially, I was furious, but I realized that I was here and there\u2019s not much more I could do about it,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/6655b78c9aa2e0d19a361856b0c19d08.jpg\" alt=\"baby, womb, pregnant, woman\" width=\"470\" height=\"403\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jones has her entire life ahead of her and wants to make the most of it.
