more people have an abortion story of some kind these days than don't, I'd say.

Amazing account.

[cripplecreek]

I know several women who have had abortions and every one that will talk about it, regrets it.

[EternalHope]

Just... Wow!

Thanks for posting!

[Halls]

Yep, I know 2 gals who had abortions and they both experienced guilt and pain for years!

[wagglebee]

The FReeper who asked me to post this is a good friend of mine. I have been trying to persuade her to do it for a while, after the recent Ms. magazine campaign, she decided to tell her story.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Please thank the author for bravely sharing her personal experience with abortion. The story of her pain and redemption may save many others from the same mistakes.

[wagglebee]

I will make sure she sees the thread.

It is disgusting what the pro-death camp does in order to further their agenda; control the information in order to kill babies. If they really believe in women and "choice" then why don't they give women all of the information so she can make an informed "choice"?!

I know two women who have had abortions both feel regret and guilt....and neither were told the truth. One told me that the sonogram machine was turned away from her so she couldn't see the screen, couldn't see the baby....some choice.

I don't normally get all misty eyes and all that...but prayers for our FRiend and I do sympathize for her. Praise God she's with us today.

I was adopted in the mid 60's. Not a day goes by I don't wonder about where my birth mother is and how can I find her to thank her for my life

[Dutchgirl]

I sought out the services of a "Women's Clinic" with my second child. I really didn't know what they were for. I wanted a home birth which was not legal in the county where I gave birth. I received competent pre-natal care and had a wonderful birth at home,(10lbs. 4 oz.) with a friend who was a mid-wife. I'm sure I freaked a few folks out, nine months hugely pregnant at a "Women's Center."

If I knew then what I knew now, I wouldn't go within a mile of that group. We are so trusting when we are young.

I impressed upon my daughter that what is legal is not always moral and vice versa. She recently endured a "high risk pregnancy" with a happy ending. I came to Christ with the help of a friend who used her abortion experience as her witness. God, who is all powerful, can turn our darkness to Light.

If my fellow freeper has repented and turned her pain and the death of her child over to God, then I am confident that He can use it, in Spirit and in Truth, to positively affect another person's life. Never forget that God's goodness is greater than any evil man can devise.

[Paul_B]

Very moving. Thanks for sharing.

The Lord is faithful and just to forgive, and to cleanse.

Faithful - loyalty is mercy in action. He desires to forgive.

Just - Christ has already paid the price. The greatest sin of all is for His free Gift to go unclaimed.

[Prov3456]

Please thank your friend for her courage in sharing her experience. May the Lord use her words to change the hearts and minds of readers, and others who hear, in regards to abortion.

If she has never heard, please tell her also about the "Silent No More Campaign" and "Operation Outcry." Both organizations, started a few years ago, are composed of post-aborted women who have been healed through the grace of God and who speak about their experiences. They believe, as do I, that the holocaust of abortion in America will be ended because of the courageous, honest and heartfelt testimony of women who have had abortions. Either of these organizations would welcome her and love her.
