"I've had five abortions. I've been to different clinics and one clinic twice. I have had kind clinic workers and doctors and cold distant workers, but each time myself, me, I never felt good, loved, cared for, strong, empowered, confident, accomplished once the suction abortion machine sounds came on. And, even after the procedure, I never felt like that."

"Over the years, as a result of aborting my child, I have experienced overwhelming grief, pain, loss, embarrassment, anxiety, fear, and shame. But with God's help and good counseling, I was finally able to forgive myself and now experience peace that passes all understanding. My heart is healed at last—and I will be silent no more!"

"My life spiraled into a life of self-hatred, drugs, alcohol, and wrong relationships. I ended up having three more abortions. Each time I felt like my life was being sucked out of me. I felt dead inside, empty. I hated myself and what I had become."

"I hid it from everyone for about 15 years. And then I had a breakdown. I couldn’t hide it anymore. That baby mattered. And because of my choice it wasn’t here. I wondered, was it a boy or a girl?"

"Before I found healing there were very few nights that it didn't haunt me and very few days that I didn't have an unhealthy fear that something would happen to my only living child. There were few seasons that I didn't punish myself in some unhealthy or destructive way, but I didn't understand why that was, at least not until I found the road to freedom."

"The Planned Parenthood was cold. Women were crying, and no one seemed to care. The doctor did not help me, and I felt uninformed by the people in clinic. I felt alone and humiliated, and they wouldn't let me see the ultrasound."

"The abortion experience was so dehumanizing, humiliating, and traumatic. The clinic and doctor treated me the worst. As I cried and screamed during the procedure, they told me, 'Be quiet, we don’t want you to scare other patients.' It was the most disturbing experience of my life."

"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'."

"The clinic was cold and heartless. The employees and staff just wanted my insurance money and, as far as I can remember, provided no support. After the abortion I continued on a downward spiral of alcoholism and other sinful ways."

"At the time I thought that telling my parents I was pregnant would be the hardest thing I would ever do, but I was wrong. The hardest thing I would ever do is to live without my son or daughter every day of my life, because I had an abortion. The physical and emotional pain was more than I could bear. "

"Initially, I felt relieved that my 'problem' was 'solved,' but the relief was replaced with shame, guilt, regret, and anguish. I became promiscuous, drowned my sorrow in alcohol, lived a life in denial of my past, and avoided thinking about anything to do with my abortions."

"Now I wanted a baby more than ever and, to make matters worse, I lost custody of my 3-year-old son. I completely lost myself in the world. I felt disgusted and so ashamed and no one knew. I planned to take my own life so many times but never had success. All I wanted was to die."

"Having gotten that abortion was the single most selfish act that I have ever committed. I thank God that He has forgiven me. I hope that I can help women understand that a child's life is worth having to change one's plans."
