Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

SAFE, LEGAL & RARE

Governor Cuomo, who refuses to give specifics of his bill is seeking to
expand abortion for all nine months of pregnancy in a state where
abortion is rampant and to allow the use of non physicians to perform
abortions. “To put forth specifics when you don’t have an agreement, in
my experience, polarizes the parties,” Cuomo said. Far from “safe”.

Since 1973 our country has had 54 million abortions. 54 million! Far from ”rare”.

Instead of the truth , now the pro abortion crowds are blaming people
praying outside of clinics for the reason women went to Gosnell, or
their perceived limits to abortion, or anything but the sad truth.
Abortion kills. It kills minds, it kills hearts and it kills bodies and
the fact that someone like Gosnell would perform them, especially late
term, is not a shock.

I had a second trimester abortion after
being coerced as a teen by my father. To this day I can still see the
sadistic look of the abortionist face and the body of my dead son lying
in the bed next to me. I remember the nurse walking into the room and
dumping my son’s body into a jar marked 3A. After my abortion, performed
legally in a hospital in NY, I remember thinking, “how is it possible
that this is legal, that this is allowed?” Looking back (although the
images are still there clear as day), the only difference between my
abortion and those performed by Gosnell is that mine was hidden in the
womb while his occurred outside of it.

No matter how you look at it, a filthy Gosnell clinic, or a hospital or a clinic on Park Avenue, abortion is abortion.

The main stream media continues to ignore the Gosnell case. I have my
own theory as to why. If we look, if we truly look at abortion, w e as a
society will have to come face to face with what we have sanctioned for
the past 40 years. We will have to admit we made a grave mistake. It
will be painful. We will have to acknowledge that abortion has not made
things better, but has injured countless women. Women many o f us know
and love. Our moms, grandmothers, our sisters and aunts and cousins and
our friends. We will have to face the fact that countless men have been
hurt as well, and that abortion is impacting countless marriages
including those who live in the fear their +spouse will find out about a
prior abortion.

We would have to look at the millions of
people of this generation mourning the loss of a sibling and wondering
why they are here while their brother or sister is not, and yes, we
would have to really face the fact that 54 million unborn children are
dead.

It would be painful, but good would come out of it. Healing
would occur for millions who feel ashamed and are suffering in silence
and alone. The cycle of abuse, injury and death would stop, and
forgiveness and mercy would take its place. What can be better than
that?
