having an abortion challenged me to rise to a new level of knowing that i always have the power and my voice matters. sharing my story is important to me because i want every woman who has been in this position, or currently going through it to know they also are capable of getting through any perceived negative situation by the power of their mind.

my abortion wasn’t a magical key that set me free from the abusive relationship – it would take me one more year. however, my abortion was my first taste at freedom – it was the first time i held my head up and looked him right in the eye, confronting him. i chose freedom.

i am a christian and i had an abortion. i want fellow christians to know that having an abortion(s) won’t separate you from the love of god. my abortion was a blessing. my abortion strengthened my faith and made clearer god’s plans for my life.

i have been told that god can punish me for my abortions, but i know that god’s love doesn’t work that way. it was thanks to the 2 abortions that i realized i needed to leave and it was god who gave me all of the strength to leave that relationship as well as overcome all my challenges.”
