Preface
T his is my true story, my life experience. As a young girl, I accepted Christ as my Savior at the Christian school I went to from 6 th grade to 11 th grade. As sometimes Christians in leadership will abuse their authority and forsake their calling, so our little school was not exempt, and we left the wonderful school that had introduced us to Christ.
I then left the God of my youth. I purposefully and consciously turned my back on God. I did not want to serve Him, I did not want to love Him. For fourteen years, I wandered in sin and lived a life of parties, friends, recreational
drugs and alcohol and promiscuity. In the middle of all this life, I got pregnant and couldn’t face the responsibility, given my life choices and direction.
I chose to have an abortion, which forever affected my life. In this book, I reveal to you some of my secrets, the reasons, and the consequences I faced after I aborted my child. In my aimless search of trying drugs, alcohol, and looking for love in sexual relationships, I never found the true satisfaction and wholeness of love, until I reconciled with God, Jehovah.
It was after I began to live a godly life, as outlined by the Holy Bible that the Lord allowed me a glimpse into Heaven to see my son. I hope that some might find a little bit of healing in their journey, and that those that are thinking about abortion will change their minds. God has done a great healing in me, but I will forever regret having an abortion. This is what has become of my life, after abortion.
Life After Abortion
L ife after abortion….seems like a contradiction in terms. Abortion ends a life…so how could there be life after any death? Simple. The mother lives on, after the death of her child. Debates run wild and vicious around the world about the very terms I’m using. Medical professionals and science claim that it’s not a life, it’s a fetus and a fetus is not a child. That is what they would like to believe and that is what they want mothers and defenders of the Right to Choose
to believe. But tell me, if the fetus is NOT a life, then why does it grow? Why do I feel so horrible inside after having an abortion? After taking my baby’s life? Why, if it
is " just a fetus , do I feel the loss of a part of my life every single day that I live on? Why do I feel that I allowed my son to be sucked up by a doctor and a nurse for $350.00 because it was
inconvenient for me"? Are you shocked and confused that I would say,
