"I realized abortion not only took my child’s life; it also created this hole in my heart that will never fully heal...I now realize that abortion is not the answer; it is the problem, and we must not let another child, woman, or man suffer the way that I and many others have for so many years."

"If you are a woman reading this, and you are currently experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, it is my hope that you find help and resources without judgment and without fear. It is my hope that you will embrace the unplanned and let it re-shape your future. You can start over. You can survive. You can even thrive. Unplanned for you does not equal unplanned to God."

"In all the years before, it had never occurred to me that I could possibly be carrying grief. After all, how could I have grief for someone whose death that I had caused? Well, I did have this grief, and I learned that some people call it the 'forbidden grief', because it’s not the kind of loss that you feel free to just talk about with anyone."
