“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’ve been through some horrible shit in my life but nothing was as traumatic as having that abortion.”
“I want to share my testimony with you guys. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, so that people can understand the true horror of abortion...”
“I got pregnant at 18 and had him at 19. Was it hard? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely.”
"Choosing adoption is the strongest, bravest, most selfless, most loving thing you could do! Be someone's miracle!"
"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 don't want to get into much detail because it's still a touchy subject, but I was raped and I knew the person ... I ended up pregnant at the age of 16."
"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..."
"At 15 I was raped. I found out I was pregnant 6 weeks later."
