Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

A 1st time PA Perspective of the March

Another great post over at "Post Abortion Journey…walk with me". This time on the March for Life…last night I did a training for Pastors in Harlem where I was asked about graphic images…this post at "PA Journey" shows again what I have been trying to say…but don't just read what I have here, go to the blog and read about her total experience…

 

"f I do anything with my story, I hope one day to convince someone that those kind of pictures aren't necessary – maybe they serve some purpose in convincing somebody what abortion really is – but not in that time or that place were they in any way necessary.  That display was followed up by another huge display running almost a full block – same thing – graphic, ugly, pictures.  I don't need the reminder of what happened to my baby.  Just when I thought I was about to lose it and possibly be physically sick… I felt a little tug at my heart saying, "It's okay, it's not about all that."

And you know what, it isn't about all that.  I started thinking about my journey as I marched in that sea of people.  That maybe my journey doesn't need to be about death any more, at least not in that kind of ugly, gruesome, graphic way.  I'm guilty of looking stuff up online just to torture myself.  I read the radical message forums with wing nut bible thumpers that condemn me to hell despite anything I've done in redemption for my sin.  It's as if I'm tempting myself and my faith just to see how strong I really am.
These huge displays on the March were one blip of negative in an ocean of positivity of love and joy and laughter and singing and music."
