Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Here is the article I promised. This was in response to a NEWSWEEK article written a while back. 

How Much Jail Time for Women who Have Had an Abortion?…For some, Life

 I am a post abortive woman, and personally, I am tired of the
pro abortion side telling me what I should feel. They continue to put great
effort into denying the negative impact of abortion stating the pro life side has
created this ploy, instead of acknowledging it is the women themselves who are
speaking out because of their suffering.

 Now, the National Institute for Reproductive Health, a pro
abortion group, is making the “centerpiece of a national conversation”, how
much time should she do? Another scare tactic to make people fear that their
mothers, sisters, or friends, will end up in jail if they have an abortion.

 Abortion may not be illegal now, but to answer the question,
many of us already do life. Countless women live in the prison of anxiety, panic,
depression and even suicidal ideation because of abortion. Yet, instead of
showing concern about those who suffer, in the past year much time and effort
has been given to debunking the claims that abortion hurts women. We have seen
article after article claim there is no such thing as post abortion stress. It
is ridiculous and a great disservice to women.

 Personally, I believe most Americans agree. By now, many have
personally experienced this suffering in sisters, wives, friends, and daughters
who have had abortions. They have encountered first hand, the devastation
abortion has caused in lives once happy, and relationships once healthy, now imprisoned
by despair, anger, bitterness and grief.

 Try as the pro abortion side might to discredit our voices,
people know the truth, and so do they or they would not be trying to silence us
or think of other ways to make people feel guilty for not supporting abortion.

 Jill June, president of Planned Parenthood,Iowa, (another pro
abortion group), says people are not connecting the dots when it comes to
making abortion illegal and criminal penalties of abortion. Ms. June obviously
is not connecting the dots to the harm abortion has caused in the lives of
countless women.  But wait, I forgot, Ms.
June and others say we do not feel those things.

 How much time should women do? The truth is, the chances of
abortion becoming illegal are very slight and just another fear tactic of the
abortion industry. You have to wonder, why the deafening silence from them when
women die in our country from”safe legal” abortion. Nor do you hear their
outcry when an abortionist maims a woman leaving her unable to havefuture
children. Yet, their voices are loud and clear when it comes to lies,
instilling fear and trying to silence those of us who are speaking out about
abortions devastation in our lives. Just goes to show, that like the lies that
made Roe vs. Wade the law of the land, nothing much has changed. The good news
is people are learning the truth for themselves from the women they know who
are suffering.
