I will be silent no more.
I was 16 years old when I had the
abortion. My parents divorced, and I became promiscuous. I found myself
pregnant and thought he loved me. Guys will tell you anything to get in
your pants.
I had my abortion because my mother felt I was too
young for that responsibility. So I really didn't have a choice. My
choice was made for me.
The atmosphere was so cold. My name was
called, and I went into a room for "counseling.” What a joke! I told
the lady I didn't want to have the abortion, and she proceeded to tell
me that I had to have it because it had already been paid for. I was
taken to another room and made to strip down and put on a white gown. I
lay there and watched as my baby's blood and tissue was sucked out of me
and went into a canister to my left. I was just numb!
When I was
in nursing school in 1999, I was given a pamphlet from the National
Memorial For The Unborn. I put it inside of my anatomy book and didn't
look at it. When the time came, I went up into the attic, found that
pamphlet, and sent off for information. I bought a plaque to put on
their wall. I go there from time to time to pay my respects to all the
babies that have been aborted. This has been the greatest healing
experience for me.
Thirty eight years later and that day is still
emblazoned in my mind as if it were yesterday. I want everyone to know
my story and know that you do not forget having an abortion. Regardless
of what some people say, the decision to have an abortion has
consequences, unless you have no conscience.
God knows I've
regretted this decision. I've asked Him to forgive me more times over
the years than was necessary. He knows my heart and I finally know I've
been forgiven.
These babies need a voice. These young girls need
to know there are options. These babies have a soul and are far more
important than the whales, eagles, dogs, or other animals people get up
in arms over protecting.
With the Planned Parenthood in the news
so much these days and all the animal rights activists putting more
value on animals than human life, I've decided I will be silent no more!
