a wound can only stay under a band-aid
for so long before it goes gangrene.
Millions of women are suffering with the emotional, spiritual, psychological, and physical effects of a past abortion.
Many of us identified as Christian at the time of our abortions.
Given the secretive nature of most abortions, we feel unable to share our experiences.
This can result in unresolved grief, post-traumatic stress, denial, and escapism.
We may feel pressure to be vocal in the pro-choice movement to justify our past decisions - even if deep inside we have terrible regret. We likely have no idea that our inability to cope with certain life triggers - our self-deprecation, depression, bouts of anger, addictions, and compulsions - are actually related to unhealed trauma from our past abortions. Some of us may have a relationship with the Lord - seeking healing and forgiveness in Him in most areas of our lives - yet still keep this one piece of us hidden & festering.
