I was treated like a cow.
I went to Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy test. They didn't do ANY counseling about fetal development or alternatives. An abortion was "the answer" just because I didn't want to be pregnant yet, even though I was happily married and had no financial problems, etc. etc.
I was treated like a cow. There was no explanation AT ALL by the abortionist regarding ANYTHING that could have helped me think twice about "my" decision to have an abortion. Of course, it wasn't really "my" decision at all. Everybody else decided for me. My husband didn't want me to abort, but all the professionals "knew better what was best for me."
I still cannot tell anyone else about it, even though it's been over 20 years now. It's made me very pro-life, because I KNOW the deceit that goes on in so-called "counseling." Not one day goes by that i don't think about it with regret and sorrow.
I've been active in Right to Life, but don't really know if that helps or makes it worse. It could be that my pro-life involvement is a constant reminder that consumes me. I also have accepted the Lord as my Savior, and I think that has helped, too, to know I'll see my baby someday in heaven.
I have eight children now. I have a burning desire to just keep having babies to somehow "prove" my worth. I am a GOOD mother, but I'm sure I work so hard at it to prove it to myself. I still cry over my aborted baby often.
