Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Those who have had an abortion have all experienced them. The dread of going to a baby shower, the due date that reminds us of what could have been, the aversion of seeing pregnant women, the paralyzing pain of the thought of the baby we will never hold. No matter what your reason for aborting, or how you feel about abortion itself, the “connectors” that send us into a frenzy are always there even if we are not conscience of them.

Suffering because of a past abortion is not uncommon, but in this political climate it can be torturous. There is no place to get away from it, abortion is in the news every day.
Donna, a woman from the ministry recently wrote to me about her reactions to the constant media attention. “On the one hand, the constant battles for and against abortion stir up those shameful feelings and makes me forget how far I've come in my healing. On the other hand, it makes me want to strongly promote my pro-life stance, which I have done and will continue to do. It also stirs up my desire to witness publicly against abortion which, unfortunately, is not an option for me at this time and this makes me feel helpless to do more.”

Women like Donna are not uncommon. Many are living in situations where they feel unable to speak the truth publicly because of other children or people in their lives that may not know about their abortion. With it being such a volatile issue, many others are hesitant, fearing they will be attacked for their stance for life, which as we have witness recently, happens all too often.

The narrative of the left is filled with abortion lies and half truths as it has been from the beginnings. Roe vs Wade will not be overturned, and even if it was it would then go back to the states, many of which have things in place to protect the right to abortion.

As if there are not enough people suffering because of abortion, the left is using this situation to ignite a flame for themselves politically with no thought of the pain they are causing those suffering, even knowing what they are saying is not truth. Don't listen to them…you know the truth un your hearts. No one knows better than you!

There may be nowhere for those who have experienced abortion to escape the debate in this climate, but perhaps that is a good thing. This stirring of emotions is bringing more and more women locked in the silence suffering and secret of abortion forward for healing. That is a good thing. As they heal they are becoming mighty witnesses to the truth of abortion not only for the unborn but for themselves.

If you are in a frenzy because of all of this, reach out. Do not sit on it alone, but speak to those who have been there that can help you sort through the lies we are hearing everyday in the media. It will be okay. Believe me, you will not go to jail!

I believe in the end, women themselves, not laws, will end abortion. They will come to recognize the destruction it has done to the very essence of who they are. Abortion does not define us! Women are coming to realize that true enslavement comes with its repercussions in their lives as they themselves suffer or see family members or friends suffering. They are coming to the point where they have had enough of those making big money at the expense of their children and their families.

Watch out! An army is forming, and we are getting ready to engage in battle. Enough is enough!
