Women deserve to know the truth before, not after an abortion.

Chris
Kentucky, United States

At 18 years old, I aborted my first child. That decision had a profound effect on me.

At nine weeks pregnant, I was ignorant of the facts. I didn’t know that my baby’s heart was beating; that the baby already had fingerprints and could move. I didn’t know that there was anything that even looked human. I was shown an illustration of a uterus which contained a formless, gelatinous lump. Years later, when I saw what a nine–week fetus really looked like, I nearly fainted.

Would I have paused and taken more time to consider what I was about to do if I had the opportunity to see a real-time ultrasound image of that child? Would seeing a beating heart cause me to better understand the gravity of the decision I was making? I believe it would have.

The very least a woman deserves as she is about to undergo a life-changing procedure that will have life-long consequences is the truth. An ultrasound simply speaks medical truth. I believe, that when it comes to abortion there is no such thing as too much information. All risks and possible consequences of any other surgical procedure are disclosed to the patient. I was shown an ultrasound of my diseased gallbladder before it was removed from my body. Shouldn’t women receive the same courtesy before undergoing an abortion?

I have been involved with Pregnancy Help Center in Richmond for 17 years. During that time, I have met hundreds of women who made the decision to abort while they were confused, afraid, under pressure and ill-informed. Most regret their abortions; some immediately, some years later.

The child I aborted 30 years ago would have been 29 years old this month. There is not a single day in the month of February that I celebrate. A woman’s life goes on after her abortion, but her heart and her mind are never the same. Women deserve to know the truth before, not after an abortion.
