Abortion May 13, 2008
I have so much I’d like to say about this atrocity of humanity.
I have grieved over this too many times. I cried for 3 days straight and finally asked God to take away the pain. I stopped reading stories and statistics. I had to walk away from it.
Even though I’ve had to protect my sanity regarding this issue, it continues to rage on every single day. It’s too big for me. It cuts me to the core.
You know how when something horrible happens in your life you wish the world would stop and take notice yet it continues to rage on without even a flicker. That’s how it is. Behind the dark curtain the problem gets bigger.
Who can help?
Right now I know of about 10 women trying so desperately to get pregnant that they are taking their temperatures, charting their cycles, checking their cervical mucous, peeing on ovulation detection sticks, and crossing their fingers in hopes of that one little egg being fertilized in order to have a baby.
Right now there are several women grieving the losses of their babies with no answers — because they had miscarriages or stillborn babies or babies who were born too early and died from immaturity of some sort.
Right now there are several women grieving the losses of their babies with answers — because they went through with an abortion. They will be scarred for life.
I personally know 2 women who have had an abortion. One has had 2 abortions. Neither of them forgives herself. Both of them feel immense guilt even though the acts were many, many years ago. They don’t forget.
Abortion physically kills an unborn child.
Abortion emotionally kills that baby’s mother.
How do we make it stop?
How?
I don’t have the answer. Not one answer.
I am left with grief for the loss of life (millions per year).
I am left with brokenness for the moms whose choices cannot be reversed.
And so many questions.
They are humans. They are alive. How can they be murdered?
This is what a baby looks like in utero.
I have a book that would absolutely amaze you.
It’s called “A Child is Born“.
Anyone considering abortion should see it.
It’s heart breaking! I don’t understand it all either!
I don’t understand at all! Especially, since there are thousands of women who can’t have children who would give them loving homes (a life) ..I have heard many young mothers to be, say they would rather have an abortion than give their baby up for adoption…they say it would be (too hard)
It still amazes me that it’s legal!!!!
Hard subject to discuss with people…
It absolutely destroys me to hear when a child is aborted.
I feel for both the woman and the child. I can’t even imagine. You’re right, something has to be done.
I am linking people over to your site to read this. This is an issue that God has broken me for and needs to be talked about and brought up more.

[...] was browsing some blogs and came across a blog discussing abortion. (Read it here) It’s truth. Powerful. Real. [...]
I’ve “closed” my personal blog for a little bit while I rework some stuff but found yours while tag surfing.
Sisters in Christ Inc dot org - that is where the hope is for the women who have already chosen abortion. There is hope for them, there is healing for them. I know because I’m one of them.
No defense needed. By no means did/do I think you were “not loving” the women who chose to abort.
I am very passionate in my prolife stance. This is something I am willing to go down swinging for because i believe it angers God. However, it angers him just as much when we refuse or choose to not love the woman who has chosen abortion.
Something needs to be done. I don’t know what it is, but something does.
Vagabondrunn: Me too (very passionate)…
I am glad we agree.
Ever hear of CareNet? They are a fantastic group!
Adding you to my sidebar now. I really like your take on things!
