I worked for 12+ years at a faith-based pregnancy clinic. When a woman chose to abort, the clinic staff were extremely sad, b/c we felt it was a loss of 2 lives, mother and child.
I had an abortion at age 16, the baby was due on my 17th birthday. I used to cry on my birthday each year and think about how old he or she would have been. I used to punish myself by watching ultrasound videos online of babies in the womb at the same age mine was. I’d look at aborted baby pictures and cry.
Then one day many years later, God saved me, He forgave me for all of the horrible things I’d ever done. I was truly made new and can now speak openly about my abortion in hopes of opening someone’s eyes and maybe saving a life.
Never give up, I can promise you, your prayers matter.
I am glad that you found forgiveness in the Lord. So many women turn to alcohol, drugs, promiscuity and worse. Many don't think that they deserve forgiveness and punish themselves the rest of their lives. None of us deserve forgiveness for our sins, but God offers it anyway.
