I know that this is a tender and
sensitive subject with high emotions attached and our society says its taboo to
talk about. I am not going to let that hold me back from sharing what I have
learned and experienced. I am speaking the truth because people need to hear
the truth.
This last month was the anniversary of
Roe vs. Wade; 40 years of abortion being legal. I have heard many people shouting,
“Pro-choice! Women's Rights!” Though my
heart now only hears the silent cries of those 55 million abortions done since
1973, and not just the aborted babies but also the mothers of those aborted
babies. I am pro-life, not just for those babies but for all. The gift of life
is for all, no matter the gender, development, disability, age, or health. We
have no right to take life.
In high school, I wanted to help
out my friends when they were in trouble. I took my girlfriends to Planned
Parenthood thinking I was being helpful. I thought these people would help and
care unconditionally. They were never counseled on adoption or parenting as
alternative options; only given an abortion appointment with no further
explanation or information on the procedure. There was just a quick talk expressing that they
were too young to be a mother, and that they need to finish school and oh yeah,
here are some condoms. Sadly, it took one too many of my friends going to
Planned Parenthood to realize that PP was not helping, and that abortion was
always their answer. Each of my friends regretted their abortion decision and
suffered from major depression as well as addiction and suicidal thoughts. Some even attempted to end their lives because
of the great regret of their abortion decision.
Though I have never had an
abortion, I feel I am guilty for each of those precious babies' deaths. I
helped take my friends to the place where they were coaxed into getting
abortion. My friends and I were lied to, not given the truth about the facts about
abortion, including the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aftermath
of the abortion. I am not here to bash post abortive mothers; I am here to speak
the truth about Life and say that there is forgiveness. There's not just
forgiveness for me, but forgiveness for you, the nurses, the doctors, and anyone
who will ask for forgiveness. God is the giver and taker of life. We have no
right to take someones innocent life so we can live the way we want. –OR—We
have no right to take someone’s innocent life instead of taking responsibility for
our actions.
LIFE!! Who's life is worth living? Every life is worth
living!
