The first time I conceived a child was in high school prior to my husband and I being married. Although we wanted the child, we were coerced to abort. Young and afraid, we went to the clinic. While there I stated during the procedure to stop. The response yet resounds in my mind, “I’m sorry it’s too late.” I curled up in a fetal position and wept. The ache inside me was one of intense emotional pain.
I left the church and for many years felt that I would burn in hell no matter what I did. Finally while very ill God came close to me. I felt his loving presence and I knew I needed to change.
Shortly after I found a Bible study where two women helped me see that God still loved me. I returned to the church. There I returned to praying as Jesus asks us to. I ask you all, here at the March and around the globe, to join me in reciting the Lord’s Prayer in celebration of all who have returned to the fold and for all yet to come. May our combined voices resound in the heavens and bring forth that which God alone has chosen.
Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
May God lead us all. May God lead America. Thank you.
