“I have always been pro-life. As soon as I was old enough, I would stand with the adults on the street corners. It was a passion of mine.
About fifteen years ago, my spouse and I were having marriage difficulties. His health suddenly went downhill abnormally quickly. That led us to losing our house. His parents let him stay with them, but I had to find my own place. We fought and fought, which led to us separating. I had my own place, and soon found a ‘friend’. The relationship was purely sexual, which for me, a Christian, was so out of sorts. After about 5 months, my spouse wanted to reconnect and get back together. We were working on reconciling when I discovered that I was pregnant with my friends’ baby, not my spouses. I wanted to reunite with my spouse, but he did not want the baby. It was one or the other. For a very brief time, abortion did cross my mind. When I think back to those days, I am ashamed that I did consider abortion for even that brief time period.
My child is my pride and joy and I cry when I think of those few moments where I was weak. My child is a world changer. My child is so in love with life. My child has taught me so much!
No one knows my story, except for close family, and no one knows that I considered abortion.
This is a story that God has placed on my life. One day when I am brave enough, I will tell my story. Until then, I will share it anonymously through you in hopes that it might help at least one person. “ -A
