The Voice Unmentioned

From Abortion Risks
Jump to navigation Jump to search

When addressing the existence of post abortion trauma by pro abortion groups,one very important voice is left out. The voice of those women who have experienced abortion and are speaking out about the harm it has done them. They have recognized the lies of abortion being a quick fix ,and are angry that their feelings continued to be denied.

As a post abortive woman myself, it amazes me how every discussion surrounding the abortion issue projects the “anti abortion” and “pro choice” views, but continues to deny or bury the “post abortive” view. It is as if we, as the mothers of these aborted babies have been aborted ourselves, by a society that refuses to acknowledge our experience or accept the truth of the harm it has done to countless numbers of us.

Groups of women are springing up all over the country, not only for healing from abortion, but to speak publicly in different arenas so women who may be considering abortion can know the full risks, not only in the death of their unborn child, but physically, psychologically and spiritually for themselves.

A defining factor often unmentioned, are groups such as Silent No More and Operation Outcry, where women are giving a face to abortions pain. Moreover, the tide is turning, not only because of these women, but also the technology that allows us to see the unborn child. Everyone now knows someone who is post abortive, and they themselves are seeing the harm it has done. Our mothers, sisters, friends, daughters and wives are struggling to be healed from their abortion experience. This is a major factor in the turning of tides. It is called the TRUTH.

Try as the “pro choice” and “anti abortion” sides might, the tide will continue to turn, not because of those of us who have been there. The truth will prevail, because of just that, it is the truth.
