Action4Canada - My Choice, My Life, My Regret, My Redemption

00:00:00.000 your life starts to get gray and you disconnect with things, things you found joy in doing are

00:00:04.940 not as joy inducing. I mean, even me distancing myself from my femininity, I wonder sometimes how

00:00:11.800 much that was actually also potentially related to the abortion, because on some level, I didn't

00:00:15.640 want to be associated with the very thing that allowed me to bear life in the first place.

00:00:21.260 Yes, to increased promiscuity. And there's often this sort of like replacement baby syndrome,

00:00:26.400 where you're so grieved at what's what's happened that you want to have another baby but then you

00:00:31.900 end up being in the same situation where you're like oh well I can't have this baby and then you

00:00:35.060 get another abortion and so unfortunately that can also be really common just just kind of repeat

00:00:39.900 abortions which is is really really sad um and yeah you know it that this whole notion about

00:00:48.020 choice is so interesting to me because well first of all we're talking about two people not just one

00:00:53.060 person, but also it's not doing the woman any favors to get an abortion. So, you know, when

00:01:00.060 people are proclaiming from the rooftop that this is female empowerment, it's not female empowerment

00:01:05.320 to end the life of your own child. We're made with an innate desire to care for and love our

00:01:11.860 children. And whether we want to pretend it's a cluster of cells or not on a level, we know it's

00:01:18.240 our child. And there is grief from that. There is difficulty from that. And people can certainly

00:01:24.580 consciously or unconsciously put that into the back of their mind and deny for years and years.

00:01:30.000 But, you know, when I share my testimony, often I hear from women who say, well, thank you for

00:01:35.640 sharing because I've never told anyone. I remember one of the first times I shared a woman who was

00:01:39.780 in her late 80s said, well, I've never really told anyone. I haven't even told my daughter.

00:01:44.220 I had an abortion when I was 17 and she had tears in her eyes. And she says, like, I've never been

00:01:47.880 able to tell anyone. And, and she was a Christian and she's like, you know, I know that, you know,

00:01:52.580 God's forgiving, but clearly that is something that had, had taken a hold on her. And that

00:01:57.800 because she hadn't shared it and processed it with the Lord, it had just, you know, created

00:02:02.160 this deep wound. And I do believe that the Lord does want to bring healing and forgiveness to

00:02:07.360 those who, who seek him. He doesn't want people to be weighed down by this. That doesn't mean

00:02:11.580 he's condoning it. Obviously, if anyone's pregnant now and is thinking about it, like

00:02:15.840 choose life because life is a blessing and you will be blessed by that life and you won't regret

00:02:21.700 it um the reality is too that i didn't know i was already a mother at eight weeks at conception i

00:02:28.600 was already a mother
