<\/div>

Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid soccer star, single father, and current Guinness World Record holder for the most liked person on Facebook \u2013 he has over 107 million likes \u2013 was the victim of an attempted abortion.<\/p>\n

In her biography, “Mother Courage,” Ronaldo\u2019s mother Dolores Aveiro<\/a>\u00a0says that the star athlete was \u201can unwanted child,\u201d and she asked doctors to abort him. The doctors, however, refused her request, so she attempted a DIY abortion. She writes that she drank boiled black beer and ran until she felt like she would drop.<\/p>\n

Obviously her plan failed and today she says<\/a>, \u201cEverything I have, I owe to [Cristiano].\u201d<\/p>\n

Eventually, Ronaldo would learn that his mother tried to end his life while he was in the womb, but he\u2019s the only one who truly knows how much that knowledge has affected him. His mother says he has only joked about it, telling her. “Look mum, you wanted to abort and now I\u2019m the one who\u2019s pulling the purse-strings in the house.”<\/p>\n

Ronaldo\u2019s mother isn\u2019t the only woman who has regretted her decision to abort. Fortunately, new procedures allow women who immediately want to take back their abortion the ability to save their child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Autumn Barnes<\/a> took the first pill of the RU-486 abortion pill regimen and then decided she wanted her baby. Thankfully, Dr. Matt Harrison created the Emergency Abortion Pill Reversal Kit<\/a>, and he administered progesterone in order to reverse the effects of the abortion pill. It was successful, and Barnes gave birth to a healthy baby boy.<\/p>\n

Women who have begun second trimester D&E abortions can also have the procedure stopped, providing hope and a second chance. One such woman<\/a> approached pro-life activists outside an abortion clinic and told them she wanted to stop the three-day abortion procedure she had begun. She had been pressured into aborting by her boyfriend. The activists brought her to Resurrection Medical Center where they were able to reverse the abortion.<\/p>\n

Being labeled as \u201cunwanted\u201d by one individual, even if it is one of your parents, says nothing about the value of a life. Ronaldo may have been \u201cunwanted\u201d by his mother then, but today he is wanted by countless people, including his devoted fans who chase him down Beatles-style. And he is very much wanted by his son, and that same mother who once thought she had to abort him.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo\u2019s new documentary released this month reveals a life that most of us can only imagine. He\u2019s arrogant and boastful, but he\u2019s also talented, hardworking, and driven. The film exposes a life full of glamour, but not a life free from pain. Ronaldo speaks openly about the alcoholism that his brother battles and that his late father struggled with. His mother adds that she was often the one who was \u201cthe victim\u201d of her late husband\u2019s alcoholism.<\/p>\n

But despite any struggles he may go through in life, Ronaldo is living the best way he knows how.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was made to be the best,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s how I live my life.\u201d A life that never would have happened and a star who never would have been born, if doctors had aborted him as his mother wished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
