"Choice"- here in the U.S., we have freedom to choose in many situations. Our Humanistic public schools and society overall teach that right and wrong are simply relative. The laws of the land have declared that the unborn child has no right to life. A mother has the right to choose to end that unborn baby's life at anytime before birth for any reason or no reason at all. Since our society legalied abortion in 1973, nearly 40 million children have been brutally killed. A mother's owmb is indeed a very dangerous place to be!
Taking a pro-choice stand is very popular. It is a philosophy I once embraced. To acknowledge another's "right" to make their own choices according to the dictates of their own consciences, on face value seems to be a loving and tolerant way to be. This may be true for benign choices, but upon deeper examination it is far from being true about other choices. Legalized abortion has victimized women, physically and psychologically. When a woman chooses to kill her unborn child she also kills a part of herself. When that child is killed within her, that child's "silent scream" echoes within the mother's heart forever.
My first two children were never given a chance at life outside the warm, supposedly safe environment of my body. On February 28, 1979, and again on April 30, 1981, I paid a "doctor" to kill my baby -- to take away my "problem". There were no protestors outside, no one there to tell me the truth. I bought into all the pro-choice lies and did not realize that I actually compunded my problems. I destroyed a part of myself when I made the choice to destryoy my Babies. I haver never felt whole since. They wer very selfish choices. My babies were sacrificed to the god of convenience and my grief is devastating.
At first I felt relief. I could go on happily with my life and pretend the whole thing didn't happen. I spent five years in total denial--burying my feelings and keeping myself too busy to feel. The next fifteen years of my life were been spent in emotional agony. It is only through prayer and the grace of God that I am able to come forward and I do so with the faith that someone else may be spared the nightmare I have lived.
Post-abortion syndrome is a very serious consequence of abortion. The trauma and secrecy that surrounds the abortion experience guarantees that most women will never step forward for help. That fact makes it difficult to estimate the true numbers of women that are affected. It may feel much safer to live in denial, and to even blame the depression, nightmares, and suicidal thoughts on anything else than to accept the tragic reality the woman chose to have her baby killed. Most women have never even allowed themselves to grieve over the loss of their baby. While those who promote abortion look at it as a way for women to achieve equality and freedom, in reality women are vicitmized by both psychological and physical consequences. Women will never achieve equality until they are treated with dignity and respect. Being pregnant hnd having children are priviledges and should not be frowned upon by society.
In loving memory of my Babies...
To my dear Children,
Through my own selfishness and unwillingness to stand up for you when you were too oung to speak out, I paid to have you executed. You committed no crime- you were simply inconvenient and my pregnancy would have been embarrassing. You never had the chance to be held and feel loved. Instead you were violently torn apart and discarded. I am deeply regretful and sorry I did this to you. If abortion was illegal at the time, I would never have considered it to be my choice. Because it was legal I thought it was an acceptable option. I was so very wrong. Please forgive me. I was dead wrong. I pledge to you my wonderful children that I will work unceasingly to give others the information I have received. Abortion providers lie and don't tell the whole truth. This is an industry involving billions of $dollars$. It is an industry that exploits women and destroys children and families. As long as I have the breath of life, I will continue to help save others from my fate.
I long to hold you in my arms forever,
Mommy
