Former Abortion Business Worker Now a Pro-Life Stalwart
by Kristen Walker, LifeNews.com
One of the most powerful weapons in
the pro-life arsenal is the authentic testimony of those who have
advocated for and helped provide abortions, and later seen the light. People like Dr. Bernard Nathanson, Carol Everett, and Abby Johnson have information and insight that will help us win the fight against the abortion industry.
Allentown, Pennsylvania native
and mother of three Jewels Green has made the courageous decision to
finally speak up for life. In her first public pro-life testimony, she
tells Live Action about suffering the pain of abortion as a teenager
and later spending several years working in an abortion clinic.
Jewels Green
This is her story:
“My first baby would be 22 this week.
I was a 17-year-old drug-using high school drop-out, but when the
lady wearing scrubs told me I was pregnant, I already thought of myself
as a new mother.
Everyone wanted me to get an abortion… except me.
I actually stopped using drugs, went to the library and checked out a book called Under 18 and Pregnant
and started to read it to prepare. I scheduled my first prenatal
check-up. My boyfriend was relentless. I am deliberately omitting the
details of the violence, both real and threatened, but I finally caved
in to my boyfriend’s insistence to not have our baby. On January 4,
1989, he took me to the abortion clinic, but I literally ran
out in the hope of saving my baby. Two days later, on January 6, 1989,
at 9 1/2 weeks gestation, I had an abortion. It nearly killed me. No,
not the surgical procedure, the psychological aftermath. I attempted suicide
three times after my abortion and finally ended up in an adolescent
psychiatric ward of a community hospital for a month to recover.
