As someone who had one over 20 yrs ago, when I was a very lost sheep, YES, elective abortions mess you up, physically and emotionally. Those advocating for abortions on demand, even those still having them, are just refusing to admit the truth. It is something I regret so deeply, nothing I will EVER do will ever be good enough to save me from that sin.
You have been saved if you accept Jesus Christ in your heart as the Holy Spirit, asked forgiveness of your sins, and repented from sin(s). NCSWIC for you with this path.
Trust me, I have done that repeatedly. I still understand though if He doesn't think it is enough. I also do not know if my unborn child will forgive me or understand that I was a very lost, unloved, and unloving person back then either. I have come to terms that I will accept whatever will be presented to me upon my end of life.
You are right- nothing you can do is enough to earn forgiveness! Because- Salvation is by grace- meaning it is fully undeserved. Stop trying to earn. You cannot.
BUT GOD says that what Jesus did for you is already enough if you would just repent of your sins and turn to Him and believe that He did that for you. A child can do it.
Thank you... I am still working on it. I guess its hard to believe sometimes that it is just as easy, as asking and truly repenting.. it seems like it shouldnt be that easy :/ If it is for me, should it be the same for those who have committed horrendous acts against children, sexual crimes? I dont know.. I feel like maybe there is some kind of hierarchy chart we were never told about.

I havenβt murdered with my hands but Iβve murdered in my heart, and Christ considers them equal.
If He has forgiven me when I genuinely asked, He will forgive you dear heart.
Thank you!
You have ALREADY been forgiven dear fren. All of us have deep regrets but we are saved by God's Grace.
