Changing My Life

Yesenia
NM, United States

"Now I wanted a baby more than ever and, to make matters worse, I lost custody of my 3-year-old son. I completely lost myself in the world. I felt disgusted and so ashamed and no one knew. I planned to take my own life so many times but never had success. All I wanted was to die."

God Redeems All Things

Nichole
NC, United States

My Plans

Yany

Forgiving the Unforgivable

Joi
NC, United States

"I received no empathy or comfort. No hug, no nothing! I was confused, angry, and lonely. I felt low-down, and I couldn’t tell anyone. I asked God to forgive me, but I couldn’t forgive myself because, to me, it was unforgivable."

Using My Story

Pray for Me

God's Purpose

Serena
IN, United States

"People often say that a victim of rape wouldn’t want anything to do with a resulting child, that the baby would be a horrible reminder of what happened. For me, the abortion is my reminder of what could have been, a reminder that God had a purpose for my daughter."

God Can Use You

Mara
IN, United States

"I am loved and forgiven. I am worthy to be a wife and a mother someday, and I pray that God brings that favor upon me. I am redeemed. I am beautifully broken. I’m using my story to reach those who have sailed the same ship and prevent others from boarding it."

Freedom is Awesome

Cheryl
VA, United States

I have been on both side of the debate--adamantly pro-choice (volunteering, marching) and now boldly pro-life (speaking, publishing, teaching, marching). God has been so kind to heal me completely, and I feel joy and all the other emotions more than ever before—freedom is awesome! And that's why I'm silent no more.

Hostage

Regina
MT, United States

"It wasn't until 2013, when I went to a Rachel's Vineyard retreat, that I had a major breakthrough. That is where I learned that God had completely forgiven me, and I chose to forgive myself. I had held myself hostage for over 30 years because of that horrible decision I made at 17."

Forever Changed

Emily
CO, United States

"Once I was in the actual room, they gave me the opportunity to do an ultrasound. I declined, because I was afraid I wouldn't go through with it if I saw my baby. I regret that decision. I should have said yes."

Empty of Life

Robin
NC, United States

"There are some things in life that take your breath, some that take your words, some that take your will to live, and some that take your soul. On this occasion all of those feelings collided. What the abortion industry will never tell you is that you will forever be changed after having an abortion. You will leave the clinic empty of life, both the baby’s life and your own."

The Loneliness

Linda
VA, United States

"Today, almost 26 years later, I still have so many relationship issues. But the worst is the loneliness and the loss of not having children in my life. All of my brothers and sisters have children, except me."

Healing the Broken-Hearted

Jamie

The Day My Mum Could be Silent No More

Moving Forward

Tracy
OH, United States

"I contemplated suicide off and on. I was promiscuous and non-committal. I ran away emotionally from everything and was pretty afraid of everything and everyone. At one point I moved to Arizona in order to find a miracle to fix me. Problem was I had left everything and everyone I knew, and all I had left was me. And I hated me."

Immense Gratitude

Barbara
NY, United States

"My boyfriend and I were on the phone, and he was crying as well. But neither of us could understand why we were crying - it didn't make sense. Everyone at the clinic encouraged us and told us this was the best decision. We never thought we were doing anything wrong. And that's the deception."

Found My Way

Susan
MO, United States

"I was brought up in the Church, so I believed in God, but I felt so guilty, ashamed, and unworthy that I could not bring myself to even enter the Lord's house. I struggled silently for years, feeling unworthy and disgusted with myself. "

I Wish

Crys
GA, United States

"There were recovery chairs in the surgery room, but they were facing away from where the procedures being done. I felt like it was an assembly line of abortions. The doctor had to have done at least 50 that day, if not more."

I Want to Be a Light

Courtney
NC, United States

"Shame, guilt, fear, and now hatred and sadness overtook me. Shame in myself and the shame I would feel if my parents found out about the abortion. Guilt for what I was now fully aware that I had done. Hatred of what I had become after making this most selfish decision. The depression was intense, and I just pushed through each day feeling sad and having no one to blame but myself."
