“This was the biggest mistake of my life. Something that has changed me forever. I will never feel the same as I did before. It didn’t liberate me. It didn’t empower me. It didn’t make my life better in anyway. The depression consumed my life and left me hollow.”
“I often pause and wonder what my baby would have looked like, would have become. When I see pictures of babies 20 weeks in the womb, it takes me back to my baby and yes I still weep.”
“I want young pregnant women to know that they are mothers now, before the baby is born, and it is within their own power to stand up for their child.”
“I was 18 and on my own when I got pregnant with my boyfriend of 2 years and we had already broken up, and unknown to me he was living with another girl at the time…”
“I was scared, young, and had no idea what to do. Of course abortion came to mind.”
“It was then I had to make a choice. A choice that would shape my future. A choice to either give up on me and let my circumstances overcome me or be an over-comer to my circumstances. I chose life.”
“Abortion is a quick fix physically but a long term pain mentally. I will never forget my past..it will always haunt me.”
“When asking the doctor, 'What does the BABY look like?’ he replied, 'It's just a blob of marshmallow fluff'. Years later I saw a picture of the perfectly formed tiny child in that 'marshmallow fluff’.”
“I messed up... 18 years ago I made the biggest mistake I could have ever made. I had an abortion.”
"Seven years ago, I made the biggest bravest decisions I will ever make. I made the decision to give my daughter life...a life that wasn't with me .”
"Mommy to 7 but gave birth to 8. My first child was conceived in rape.”
"Never in a million years would I regret the decision I made... I changed his life to make sure he got the things I would never have been able to provide. And I gave an incredible couple the chance to be a real family and have the love and happiness that they deserved."
"I was 16 years old. I was given a new name and then I was drugged."
"It's time. It’s time to share my secret, and I’m full of sadness. It’s been at least 38 years and I still wish I could undo that choice that I made on that horrible day when I killed my baby."
"I am a child of rape. My mother was 19 and at a party. She was raped by three different people from her high school..."
