Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

I found this so sad..to be 16 with so much destruction in your life. She is just a kid herself. We have really destroyed the innocence of our children…

As much as she says she made the right decision, I think there probably was not much of a decision made by her and the implication of what  has happened will not hit  her for a long time.She is so young and I am sure immature with no idea how this will impact the rest of her life…I do not know who this is, but I am going to keep her in prayer…

British
Teenager Had Four Abortions Before Turning 16 Years-Old, No Regrets
London, England (LifeNews.com) — A British teenager says she had four
abortions by the time she was 16 years-old because she didn’t realize she
was too immature to have sexual relations and didn’t respond to pleas from
her mother. The London Daily Mail profiled the teenager this past week:
“Lucy Lanelly was just 12 years old when she had her first abortion.
She’s blanked out most of the memories, but what she does recall are her
mother Shelley’s tears of shame as they arrived at the private clinic, and
the disapproving looks of the medical staff when they discovered Lucy’s
age. She does not remember feeling frightened at the prospect of the operation,
only a strange, emotional numbness and feeling of guilt at having upset
her mother. Her chief emotion when she came round from the general anaesthetic
was one of relief; that she could forget she’d ever been pregnant and get
back to school. ‘I didn’t understand what was going on,’ she says. ‘My mum
organized the termination and I went along with it, but it was the right
thing to do. ‘There was no question of keeping the baby. I didn’t want it.
I was too young to have a baby. It was a mistake.’ A traumatic experience
for one so young, yet by the time she was 16, Lucy had made three more ‘mistakes.’
The second termination, aged 13, was again organized by her mother – a mental
health nurse – who was this time furious with her wayward daughter for ignoring
her lectures, and sat by her side in stony silence at the clinic. When Lucy
fell pregnant again, aged 15, she was too frightened to tell her mother,
so it was her grandmother who took her to the clinic, unaware of the previous
two abortions. Lucy organized her fourth termination, aged 16, without telling
anyone. She insists each time it was the right decision and that her four
abortions have left no lasting emotional damage.”
