Back in 1978, my mother and I started an abortion business in Miami Dade County. One year after that, I got pregnant. The baby's father, also a partner in that business, said I should have an abortion because I was a college student and we could have children in the future.
I wanted that baby, but instead I believed what he said and right there--in our abortion business--I ended the life of my first baby.
I remember the pain I felt in my heart when I woke up from the abortion. I could not turn back. I knew the abortion doctor well, yet he never tried to change my mind or give me a word of advice. This was something they did on a daily basis without thinking of anything else but their monetary gain. I had no one tell me there was another option. I cried with much pain! My heart was crushed to know that on that abortion table a part of my life died. My baby was killed that day. I cried out to God to forgive me. I begged Him for another opportunity to have a child.
A few months later, I conceived again with that same man, but this time I stood strong and instead of ending my baby's life, I ended that relationship. I turned my heart over to Jesus Christ and His Redeeming Love rescued me.
After 27 years of keeping my abortion a secret, God brought me back to the very same place where it all began. I received healing through the Forgiven and Set Free Bible Study and now I am silent no more. Today, I am the Clinic Director for Heartbeat of Miami Pregnancy Help Medical Clinic, which is located right next door to where that abortion business once operated. Today, I provide "Life Saving Help in a Life Changing Way" to any woman faced with an unwanted pregnancy.
