I had an abortion because I was 18 and just graduated high school and was told I had to have an abortion. A lady at the abortion clinic told me this was only a piece of tissue that had to be removed and was painless.
Although I was crying hysterically, they passed me on to the procedure room. The doctor did not introduce herself and a stranger held my hand. The pain was indescribable, and I woke up on an army cot next to 8-10 other cots.
A few months later I heard on the radio an abortion procedure is a procedure used to cut up a baby into tiny pieces and they remove the parts by a vacuum device. After this I was devastated. I did not know what they did to me or my child.
Over the last 30 years, I experienced much grief for my child and depression. Through a relationship with Jesus Christ I have received much healing and I know my baby is in Heaven but the grief continues over a lifetime.
I am a Licensed Therapist and I have a daughter that is 22 years old. She is here with me today. I give Jesus all the praise and glory that he has healed me to the point that I can give my testimony, and I do not live have to live in shame. I choose to be Silent No More!
