Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

A witness from someone who recently contacted us.  She asked for us to post this.  Please pray for her as she embarks on her healing journey.

I am a 21 year old girl and I want to say to all the girls out there – please don't abort your baby. It is something which you will surely regret one day.

I had an abortion when I was 19 years old and after two years, I still regret my decision.  Me and my boyfriend stayed together and he is a loving person. One day I came to know that I am pregnant. This news shattered both of us.

 I was pursuing my grads then and he had a normal job which was not financially too good. We thought of abortion as the ultimate solution, but that was just a bad, bad decision.

We went to the doctor.. And after doing an ultrasonography I came to know that I was 13 weeks along. At that time I was trying to get rid of the baby and never thought of anything else. So on the desired date, we went to the clinic. At first I was told by the nurse to lie down. She gave me a medicine, and after some time I was feeling cramps. Then after 3 hours I was taken to the operation theatre. I was given an anesthetic and I went down into deep sleep. After I woke up it was all done.

I cried a lot, not because of the pain, but for losing my baby. My boyfriend took me home and for the next two weeks there was tremendous bleeding with cramps. I was not able to stand also. But apart from all the physical pain the emotional pain was the most. 

I could not forget about my abortion. Still now, after two years, I regret my decision. Whenever I see pregnant women and babies I cry. I will never ever get my baby back and this is what makes me feel awful.

So here I am sharing my experience with all you people and requesting you not to kill your baby.. They are yours. They need you. Never think that abortion is the best choice because it will ruin you physically and will drain you emotionally. -SC
