Action4Canada - The Abortion Anniversary

00:00:00.000 it's a misnomer to say, well, you know, what should I do? Because that child's already in

00:00:04.360 existence. So the consequences are already permanent. I think I had this idea that like,

00:00:08.620 if I choose parenting and adoption, that's a permanence I can't walk away from. But if I

00:00:12.640 choose abortion, I can just end it and keep going with my life. You know, that was just the notion

00:00:17.700 I think that I had, but that's not true. There's a permanence no matter what. It's just in the case

00:00:22.440 of abortion that permanence is generally hidden inside the person in the form of grief and a

00:00:27.800 recognition of what you've done for the rest of your life. And God is forgiving and he has healed

00:00:32.400 and he's brought so much relief. But the reality is, is that my heart is still heavy for the fact

00:00:38.520 that I don't have my child. And I'm very aware it's 2026, it's 10 years, you know, that my child

00:00:44.480 would have been 10 had I had her. And I'm never not aware of that. And I've heard that from many

00:00:51.040 post-abortive women, you know, they're keenly aware of their abortion anniversary and, you know,

00:00:55.580 their child's age. And, you know, when you see people with a mom and their child or whatever,

00:01:00.740 and you're like, wow, that child's about the age my child would have been. And, you know,

00:01:04.680 various things. And, and these are all things that, you know, it's, it's the reality of us

00:01:09.100 living here. I do believe my child is with the Lord and I will see her again. And I'm so thankful

00:01:13.460 for that. But there's consequences to sin. And so there is a grief that stays with me.
