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."

Come Along Side Others

Terry
WI, United States

"I now understand the sacredness of every life, and I want to come beside others struggling with the decision to have their babies. That is why I am silent no more."

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."

Not A Day Goes By

Emily
MN, United States

"Not a day goes by where I don’t come to tears due to the horrible mistake I’ve made. It has been the biggest regret of my life. The guilt continues to haunt me daily. The only choice I have is to give back and help save others from making the same horrible mistake."

I Cannot Stay Silent

Anne
NJ, United States

"I confessed the sin, experienced God’s forgiveness, and put it out of my mind. But I still did not want to get close to anyone. When I did not drink, I was an emotional overeater and felt strangely disconnected to infants and very small children."

To My Dear Children in Heaven

Penny
WA, United States

"I have told many people about what I have done. Sure, I am ashamed of what I have done. But hopefully, by telling others, I can change someone’s mind about making a decision you can never ever take back."

Through Grace and Mercy

Dora
TX, United States

"I share this because abortion is so evil in its core. What it does to the innocent and what it does to women is very real. Many women are left completely alone in their brokenness to figure it all out after an abortion. That is a sad truth, and that was my truth."

Compelled to Share

Cheryl
PA, United States

"I am compelled to share my story, because I want young women and girls considering abortion to know that, if they choose abortion, they probably won't ever really get over it."

One Day

Aaryn
OH, United States

"I went alone and remember the facility being very dreary. The staff was cold and distant. I wasn't properly counseled or screened concerning my mental health and, standing here today, that's not a decision I would make again."

I Remember Everything

Erin
MS, United States

"I still have nightmares about that day. I can still remember every second of the six hours I spent there—down to the stories the women told me, the doctor occupied with the basketball game, how alone I felt, even though we did everything but the actual abortion in groups. I remember everything."

A Deep Wound

Jan
MI, United States

"I could not look at pro-life signs, listen to news reports on abortion—for or against—or anything that reminded me of this past event. There was a deep wound that remained raw. I had failed God, myself, and my child."

Now I Share the Truth

Ann
FL, United States

"But as time went on after the abortion, I placed a wall up around me and deadened my feelings. I felt remorse, shame, and unworthiness. It was difficult to form friendships. I was promiscuous after the marriage to the father of my baby ended. I had low self-esteem. I had anger issues and did not know where the anger came from."

Obadiah

Theresa
IA, United States

"I continued to struggle year after year on the anniversary date of the abortion. I would go into this dark hole of self-hatred and despair. I would become suicidal during this time. I tried getting help through secular counseling, but it didn't help. Our son would come to me and ask and my husband and I if he could have a brother. We would tell him no. And he didn't know that he already had a brother, in Heaven."

The Deep Abyss

Cheryl
PA, United States

"The abortions were supposed to fix my problems and allow me to move on with my life. Instead, they pulled me into a deep abyss that held me captive for over 30 years."

Hard to Forgive

Barbara
WA, United States

"I realized through the counsel of others that the blame was not 100% on me; it was a joint decision. I pretty much had carried the entire blame for all 26 years, because it was my idea in the first place. I wonder, to this day, if he had had the courage to go to my parents with me and talk about it, if we would have saved our baby."

I Thought I Was Being Strong

Robyn
WA, United States

"I would love to encourage young men and woman to wait until marriage to have sexual relations, to repent if they have already sinned or, if it is too late for both, to assure anyone considering abortion that ALL other options are far better—because nobody should have to die."

Grateful

Larry
NY, United States

"My heart still aches, and it is very overwhelming to relive this day by speaking to you right now. But I feel that my testimony might help others or save a life. Today I’d like to tell you about the day I lost my child to abortion."

To Feel Alone

Angela
NC, United States

"I remember sitting in a room with a bunch of girls. They were laughing like it was a joke. My heart was breaking. I thought, 'You all are terrible women!' But I was in the room being one of those terrible women!"

Child of God

Shantel
MO, United States

"I see my first child, and I ask myself so often, 'What if I would have aborted him?' It is a terrifying feeling. I would die defending my son. Why did I not defend my 2nd child's life? Living a life of regret—of the would haves, could haves, should haves—is much worse than actually living with challenges."

Hearts Can Change

Jane
FL, United States

"I learned God’s mercy was bigger than my sins. After a couple of retreats and growing closer in my relationship with Jesus, I began healing. I no longer carried the heavy burden."

Her Sisters and Brother

Liz and Grace
GA, United States

"I knew at some point I was going to have to tell Grace the truth about her siblings lost to abortion, but I didn’t know when. I prayed for the Holy Spirit to begin preparing both of us and to let me know when the right time would be for Grace to hear the painful, shocking truth—that she had two sisters and one brother in Heaven."
