I divide my life into these phases: 1. Before my abortion 2. The abortion 3. After my abortion
My Journey with Abortion I was raised in an extremely religious home. I had been raised being taught pre-marital sex was a sin and abortion was never an option. Looking back now, the Lord gave me the parents I needed to keep me from making poor decisions in high school. I made it to the age of 22 before sex became a part of my life. I had dated quite
This is the story of how my abortion almost killed me. I had my abortion back in 2020. The end of 2019 was a rough time in my marriage and I was ready to leave my husband even though I really didn’t want to. He ended up convincing me to take him back by telling me he would be happy to give me another baby because he knew how much
When I was 17, I was told that my twelve-week preborn baby was “just a blob of tissue” and “had not begun to form” and was definitely “not a baby.” I was scared, in crisis, too afraid to tell my parents I was pregnant and time was NOT on my side.

We are giving women the chance to use their voice – in whatever way they feel most comfortable – and share their story. By coming together, we see that we are not alone. YOU are not alone. And your story matters.
You are in full control here. Read, listen, and leave. Record, type, and share. Whatever allows you to feel the most seen and heard, that’s your path here.
Most of all, know that you’re not alone.
