Today, my heart is hurting for all those who have experienced a past abortion. Because I know the truth…abortion hurts.
With the politically charged atmosphere, perhaps more than ever before, abortion is in the forefront. Angry words are being posted—even shouted—everywhere you turn. I can only imagine that for someone who is already suffering from an abortion, this would be like pouring salt into an open wound.
But this isn’t about politics. It’s about people. The life within the womb is not the only casualty to be considered. Abortion creates a tremendous ripple effect, not only for the woman but also for those closest to her.
If abortion has impacted your life in some way, I hope you’ll read Mary’s Story. Mary (not her real name), was on her way to a successful career. Then she discovered she was pregnant. In her desperation, she chose abortion because it appeared to be the least painful choice. But instead of relief, there was only a sea of pain and loss … until Mary discovered an unexpected way to heal.
I hope this story touches your heart as much as it did mine.
