Healing the Broken-Hearted

I am here to give my testimony on my aborted daughter, Jordan Ashley Napier, who would be 29 years old. Jordan was conceived in horrible circumstances and during a bad time in my life. I was 23 years old, divorced, and jobless, living back home with my two year old child, and now this. I was afraid of other people’s opinions of how my life had turned out.
I thought abortion was the answer, I remembered the trial of Roe vs Wade. I called the abortion clinic, and told them the situation I was in, that I was only six weeks pregnant. They stated she was just tissue, and that I needed to get in there before she started to form. That nobody would have to know, that things would be all better.
I got the money together, and drove myself there, scared of what was about to happen. There was nobody outside the clinic to tell me of all the options I had.
They called me back to pay for it and gave me a pamphlet to read. But in the state of mind I was in, I didn't read it. I sat there, scared, wondering if this was the right thing to do. It was just a tissue… right? It's legal...that makes it okay…right?
They brought me back, and prepped me in the room where they would perform the procedure, telling me that everything would be all better.
When it was over, I drove myself home, relieved at first. But after a while I started having regrets about what I had done to my child.
I buried it deep and forgot about it, so I wouldn't have to deal with the fact that I let someone kill my child and throw her away like garbage…
I went through years of being angry. I tried to drink it away, and, when that didn't work, I turned to drugs. But the pain never left.
Three years ago, I decided to see if God was around, if He was still performing miracles. It would take a miracle to change my life. I started back to church and prayed to God to show me why I was angry all time. God brought the abortion back up to the surface, for me to face.
I told my pastor about it, and he lead me to A Woman's Choice for a Post Abortive Bible study, which showed me that God had a plan for Jordan, that God loved me, and that He would forgive me. All I had to do was confess it and ask for forgiveness.
57 million babies had their lives taken from them. Lives for which God had a plan. Some parents with broken hearts are still wondering if they can be healed from this decision.
I am here as proof. God heals the broken-hearted. That is why I am Silent No More.
