"I will regret my abortion till the day I go to heaven and see Anthony, but God has given me peace in the midst of sorrow. What an honor it was when the Lord used me to lead a young gal, who was seeking an abortion, to Jesus. She changed her mind and had her son!"
"When I was 16, I would get pregnant again and this time would choose life. I would struggle in my marriage, with being close to my children, and with reproductive problems, which almost took my life, and a complete hysterectomy by 29. I would turn to drugs and alcohol to numb my pain." Serena's 2020 March for Life Testimony
"We’ve rallied around our other 4 children for so many years and did our best to give them a loving home and good upbringing. It is to Mary Catherine’s memory that we now rally around her in hope of eliminating the heinous act of abortion." Paul and Maureen's 2020 March for Life Testimony
"There is no such thing as a safe abortion because a child dies. We think abortion is the solution to the problem, but it is actually the beginning. I have talked to older women who have said, 'I had an abortion, now I am married. I have children, but I am still not fine'."
"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."
"I'm haunted by the memory of what I did, but if I can stop one woman from believing the lie—that it's a "choice" instead of a CHILD—then I will shout my story to the rooftops."
"I kept this to myself for years. I hurt every single day, and I would cry in pain of the loss of my two babies. I wondered if they were two boys or two girls or one of each. I didn’t give them a chance, all because someone else’s approval mattered to me at that time."
"Though I was able to maintain my job, the rest
of my life was out of control. This way of life continued for three years. I
had stuffed my feelings down so deep, and the alcohol and drugs allowed me to
numb the pain and 'forget' what I had done."
"It took many more years before I even heard of any help but again God was with me and, through Him and much counseling, I finally learned of God’s forgiveness."
"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."
"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!"
"I was well aware of how precious life is and had always felt that even
in cases of rape that every life deserves a chance at life! I just had no
idea how personally I would be impacted by abortion or that I would be
faced with the choice to have to choose either life or death under the
most gravest and unthinkable circumstances!"
"Join me in helping to define a society that can lift people up and
support them by removing the crisis, not the child. A crisis is
temporary, abortion is not." Crystal's testimony from Walk for Life 2017
"No, I would definitely not go through with this pregnancy. We set the
date for the abortion...In a few hours none of this would
matter—or so I thought, because here I am now forty years later coming
to terms with that decision."
"Eventually, I knew something was wrong with me. All the pain, anger, rage, and my broken heart were too much."
"But I trust that God will send the right healing program my way, and I
will testify forever, on behalf of my child whose voice was ripped
away. On that child’s behalf, I will be silent no more."
Danielle shares her story of loss and healing after her abortion.
"I also held onto much anger and resentment towards the baby’s father, as well as at myself for the abortion. I then rededicated my life to Christ. I made Him my Lord. I gave
that anger to Him. I felt free. I WAS free. I was a new creation in Him."
"She told me to pretend it never happened and get my life together. I
felt so nauseous and terrible. I was so numb. I did not want to do it,
but I felt I had no choice."
"Join me in helping to define a society that can lift people up and
support them by removing the crisis, not the child. A crisis is
temporary, abortion is not. Join me in becoming the generation that ends
abortion." Crystal's testimony for Walk for Life 2016
"The morning of my abortion, the waiting room was full. None of the girls
would look at each other. Shame blanketed the room. The abortion
clinic atmosphere was dark and cold. There was no love there. God does
not live there." Meg's testimony for March for Life 2016
"Immediately afterwards, however, I felt regret. I knew I had committed murder.
I
felt so guilty about my abortion that I completely stopped caring about
myself. I spiraled further down into a life of promiscuity and drug
and alcohol abuse." Natalie's testimony from Walk for Life 2016
"When it was over I asked if they could tell if my baby was a boy or a
girl. The same nurse said, 'It wasn't a baby. It was just a mass that is
a product of conception.' Something in me knew that was a lie, but I
accepted it because it assuaged some of my guilt and shame."
"I have begged for and received forgiveness from God for taking an innocent human life, the life of my own child. Since my Rachel's Vineyard Retreat two years ago, I've even begun to recover from my losses."
Crystal shares how her abortion impacted her and how she became pro-life from that experience.
