Captivity to Freedom

Marlys
MI, United States

"I lived in denial for years after. As a believer, waking up to the reality that I killed my child was overwhelming. I tried to forget and go on with my life, but deep inside I was held captive with guilt, shame, and regret hidden in secret."

Journey to Restoration

Deana
SK, Canada

"I was numb after the abortion. I started drinking on the weekends a lot because I just couldn’t function. I clung to my boyfriend because he seemed to be all that I had left. Not once was I asked how I was or if I needed someone to talk to. It was like it never happened, and I was supposed to be like I was before."

Trigger

On My Conscience

Safe but Empty

Lives Destroyed

Sally
CA, United States

"Know what the dangers are to your body and your mental health. Find out what your options are, such as keeping your baby with family support or giving him or her up for adoption. Whatever you do, be sure to consider all the consequences. After all, it is your choice, but the lives destroyed may include your own."

To Use for His Glory

Shelly
WY, United States

"I would go back and, after I knew I was pregnant, I would cry out to God and say, 'Dear God, I am pregnant, and I don't know what to do. Please help me? Please show me what to do to keep my baby.' Now, I know God would have provided a way. But I can't go back. I can only go forward."

God's Work

Robin
IN, United States

"The thought never crossed my mind that there was a tiny life growing inside me, and the clinic employees never referred to my child as a baby. I have vague details of the actual procedure, but I remember being anxious to get back to life. Over the next couple years, I developed depression that was only exaggerated by my alcohol consumption."

Help Is Out There

Breanne
CA, United States

"After seeing post abortion healing program in our church bulletin at work I said, 'That's not for me, that's for people who are desperate and think they're not forgiven.' Well, shortly after, about two years later, I started to think that maybe I did need the help, and the feelings would surface more and more."

A Voice to Help Others

Naomi
CA, United States

"What surprises me when I look back on the whole process is that no one, not even myself, took the time to think about the lives that were to be lost. It was so easy, a procedure, a clump of cells. I wish someone had counseled on any kind of alternative."

A Voice for My Child

Lisa
PA, United States

"From the moment we left the clinic I began to stuff my thoughts and feelings, and this would eventually become as natural as breathing.

Just Follow Your Heart

Until I Meet You Someday

It's His Story

Alicia
MI, United States

"I started to tell them to stop, that I had changed my mind, but it was too late. I spent a good few weeks hoping by some miracle I would still be pregnant. And when it was obvious I was not, I tucked it away in the file of things that "do not affect me" and I moved on. Only, God had other plans."

Being God's Love to Me

Melody
TX, United States

"Planned Parenthood didn't help me, the other Women's Clinic didn't help me, the abortions didn't help me - the love of the staff at the Pregnancy Care Center did more than help me, it led me to real salvation and healing, and that is why I am Silent No More!"
