293: Finding Hope After Abortion 🌱 A Message of Love and Truth

[@angelagregory1696]

I had two abortions and pretty much never blinked about it. I became born again 10 years ago and the flood gates opened. I struggled with guilt for awhile and sought forgiveness from the Lord on this specifically. I have peace knowing I’m forgiven but the ache in my heart during quiet moments while thinking on the atrocity of what I chose to do to my own babies will never go away. There is forgiveness at the cross of Christ.

Britney was failed by everyone in her life. She has been exploited since she was a child. I really, really hope she will be able to find a good support system and heal from all this trauma.

[@Auroraphox]

I turn 41 in December and went through with an abortion when I was 17. For 24 years that trauma, guilt and gaping hole in my spirit has been with me every day. Thank you for this video because I've been told that "my sins are forgiven" but I've never had anyone willing to talk to me specifically about this.

Thank you for speaking out on such a difficult subject. I was 21, unwed & pregnant. My mother (who adopted me as a baby) wanted me to have an abortion. I will never forget her saying that she was taking me to the "Butcher" clinic. I told her NO you're not, I am not killing my Baby. It was very difficult being a single Mama, but I did it. My precious daughter is 36 and my pride & joy.

[@shiningthelightministries]

When I was 12 years old I heard a Christian radio program talking about abortion. What I heard really upset me and I went to my parents with a lot of questions. My parents answered my questions and decided to go ahead and have "the talk" with me at that time and explained things to me from the Bible. I was homeschooled and very protected, so until then I did not really know anything. I thank God my parents protected me from inappropriate influences. So many homeschooled kids of my generation complain that their parents isolated them and sheltered them. They feel that they were not adequayely prepared to go out into the world as adults. I think the problem with those kids is that they never truly got saved, and maybe their parents did not tell them that they were raising them to be faithful and fearless soldiers for Christ. So the kids did not really have a plan on how to handle things when they became adults and faced temptation. My parents raised me to be a soldier for Christ and when I went out into the world as an adult I was ready to fulfil my mission. It is true I hit the world hard, and it hit back with a vengence, and God did not protect me like I thought He would. I was poisoned with mercury and suffered many health problems because of it, but I had to learn to accept God's will. I also never married. Most men who showed interest in me would run real fast once I started explaning that I would not kiss till marriage and that I did not "date" but may be interested in a courtship with the end goal being marriage. And then there was a few that we just did not agree doctrinally, so I would not enter a courtship with them. Then I was poisoned by Jesuits at work, because I had written some things on my website to try to warn churches about the truth of the ecuminicle movement how it was actually invented by Rome to bring about the one world religon and the Beast system. I also exposed many historical facts about the Catholic church that they work so hard to try to keep hidden like them supporting Hitler in WWII, and I gave verifiable refrences and proof of everything. My health problems caused by the poisoning isolated me to where I just never met anyone else to consider marrying. I grew up reading biographies of Christians who were persecuted, yet ended up being triumphant. But they never talked about the inner struggles one faces who lives a life like that. The doubts, the fears, the questions like: Did I serve God wrong? Is God punishing me. The Holy Spirit answered me "No you were being a watchman and a guardian trying to warn others of a deadly trap set by Satan." Was I not loving enough? The Holy Spirit answered "You only exposed an organization and their evil plot. You did not personally attack anyone." Jesus called people like that snakes and vipers to their face. It is not unloving to expose evil and call out false teachers. You showed the most love because you willingly laid down your life and actually died once to warn my church of a deadly counterfeit, and you still continue to warn them." If Jesus is all I need, why do I feel so lonely? The Holy Spirit answered "Nowhere in Scripture does it say that Jesus is all you need. I said in Genesis that it was not good for people to be alone. However, sometimes it is my will for people to suffer lonliness so they have fellowship in my sufferings and learn to draw closer to me." God, why did'nt you protect me? Wouldn't I be more effective for You if I was healthy, so I could do more for You? Would'nt it have been a more powerful testimony if the poison had had no effect? Would'nt the persecutors have then gotten saved? The Holy Spirit answered "The quantity of the work does not matter, but the quality. My ways are higher than your ways. This was my plan for your life, and it is the most effective. My Word says of the Philidelphian chuch that the synagoge of Satan would worship before their feet and know that I have loved them. How would the Jesuits and other synagogs of Satan know that except that they try to kill you but you just keep living and serving me even in the suffering that they caused? Sometimes a testimony of suffering is more effective that a testimony of great miracles." There are many other questions too that I have not received answers for, but as Corrie Ten Boom once said "Our loving Heavenly Father holds all things in his hands, even our questions." I recently found out that Corrie Ten Boom spent the last few years of her life unable to speak or walk due to a stroke, but then she died on her birthday, which is a powerful testimony to the Jewish people. Also, that Amy Carmichle spent the last 25 years of her life crippled and mostly confined to her bed. And even before that, Amy had struggled with MS and would have to spend weeks at a time in bed, and this was durring the time that she was rescuing children from the pagen temples in India. As God said "It is the quality of the work that matters, not the quantity." Learning these things has helped me to know that I am not damaged goods that God is placing on a shelf, but I am still an important part of His plan and He can still use me. I think God had tried to tell me when I was 15 that I would never marry. He had shown me Isaiah 54:5 "For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called." I felt at the time that meant I would not marry, but I quickly pushed it out of my mind, because I did not want to accept that at that time. Then I woke up one day in my late 30s (I am 39 now) and realized I will probably never marry, again I had to submit to and accept God's will. Many people would think that my beliefs have ruined my life, but I say God knows best. And these things that God has allowed have probably saved my life in more ways than I could ever imagine. Anyway, after talking to my parents when I was 12 I committed to God that I was going to get Roe v Wade overturned, and I was a very influential voice behind the scenes in getting that done. Although they did not go as far as I tried to get them to go. The Supreme Court gave it to the States. I wanted them to extend the Constitutional protections of life to the pre-born. Unfortunately that did not happen, so we still have more work to do. I am still working on trying to get Congress to pass a nationwide abortion ban. In my State it is mostly outlawed, there are just a few exceptions I don't like. I have now been a voice for both the pre-born and for women for 22 years. I find it so sad that most women are lied to about abortion and they don't know the truth until it is too late. Then they live with all that guilt, and I have seen how it affects every part of their lives. Even those who get saved and go through counseling still have pain. I have become close friends with some of these women, and I can tell It never all goes away. Thank you for putting out this video. I pray it helps a lot of women who are hurting, and saves many lives and souls. God bless you.

When I was a teenager, we had a neighbor who was married to a man who felt trapped in that marriage. She got pregnant several times and was made to abort all but two of her pregnancy's. She ended up on all kinds of medications for her emotional problems. It drove her crazy. She used drugs of all kinds to numb the pain she felt. When they finally divorced, she lost the two children she had to the man who pressured her to end the pregnancies, she had a heart attack and passed away in her early fifties. I learned from watching her and those mistakes. May God bless any woman who doesn't know their worth, remember we are all special and should love and be loved in the name of Jesus.

[@lovelivelaugh7712]

[@janeross121]

God bless you, Heidi, for broaching this delicate and painful subject. The message is much needed. I was a nice Catholic girl, graduated at the top of my high school class, and was headed off to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, thanks to the incredible sacrifice of my loving parents. And that summer, at 18, I found myself pregnant. And I did the unthinkable. I hated myself and what I had done every single day for the next 25 years, although God had subsequently blessed me with beautiful children. I was convinced I was condemned to hell because of what I had done, and I engaged in many self-destructive behaviors because, hey, it didn't matter, my fate was already sealed. Until by the grace of God I went through a program, sponsored by the Catholic church, that allowed me to experience God's forgiveness and to finally forgive myself. So to all my sisters who have been through this nightmare, I have to ask how big is your God? Because your God is so much bigger than you think He is, and so much more gracious, and so much more capable of forgiving whatever heinous act you have committed in a moment of weakness, or confusion, or panic, than we can understand. God has seen it all, and through Him and the redemptive sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ, he welcomes you home, no matter what your past sins. Even this one.

I am christian and I've had an abortion when I was 18, I am 40 now and the regret and pain and self hate sometimes is huge. I consider myself a muderer. Because what else do I call it? I know God forgave me but I cannot get over what I did. Nobody knows except off course the dad. I was alone went home alone and was in my room alone with what I did with my parents in the next room knowing nothing. I have the most beautiful intelligent daughter God blessed me with now and all she wanted was a sibling and all I can think off is that I took that away from her and she doesn't even know. It's all my fault. I murdered her sibling she could've had

[@h4928]

I am so very sorry. I took Plan B twice and years later (after coming to Christ), felt the intense regret of that, not knowing if I might have more children in heaven. I also lost a baby in 2020 due to a partial molar pregnancy, which can cause cancer and was likely due to my decade or so on oral contraceptives. So I believe my actions have resulted in the death of at least one child. But you must claim forgiveness in Christ - his blood covers all of our sins, and it seems you have a repentant heart. I have to tell you that Paul, when he lived as Saul, was a persecutor and it seems at least an accomplice to the murdering or persecution of Christians (he was a witness to the stoning of Stephen). He went out of his way to make Christians suffer. And Christ forgave him in full. The Lord forgave and redeemed him, and was able to use him tremendously for his kingdom.1 Timothy 12-17 tells us: " I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen." God can use your pain and redemption to be a light for the gospel and beacon to other women faced with this same decision. I don't want to say this without knowing much about you, but you might consider telling a believer whom you trust, and maybe in time, sharing with your daughter. I think children can sense when we're greatly burdened by something, and depending on her age and spiritual maturity, it may lift a burden from her too. I hope that's okay to share. I will plan to be in prayer for you and your healing and that God uses you to reach others! He can do what we cannot :)

I knew some teen moms that did better than most moms do. I think one of them is Heidi!❤ My mom had an abortion... She is a diagnosable narcissist, just legitimately. Not trying to insult her, but its unusual for people with NPD to feel guilt, a sense of their own mistakes. But she regrets her abortion decades later. I still remember how shocking it was when she told me. I had recently been saved. She wasn't comfortable with that. But we were in the car and unexpectedly she asked me about forgiveness. If I thought Jesus would forgive her, if she was going to hell etc. I barely knew what to say. I was new, I still am! But i said something about yes Jesus would if she asks. This last part is not what she wanted to hear. Given the NPD especially. I said it gently. It's just how I felt. I basically tied it up with saying she has to admit it's bad and its between her and Jesus, he knows how she truly feels. She angrily told me it was because I was a toddler, and she needed to care for me, (with tons of help mind you, she rarely changed my diapers or anything) ...so that's that. I know this means she didn't heal. She has some deep-seated guilt and it's threatening to face that in her position. She protected herself from a traumatic childhood by becoming obsessed with her own survival, emotional survival incl. 😢 God loves you. The most powerful being in the universe, created you for a purpose and loves you. It's a terrible situation when an unborn child is rid of. But it's also going to cause potential physical problems for the mom, and undoubtedly her psyche and soul. It would be hard to overcome that trauma without the power of the Lord, without acknowledging his love and asking for his forgiveness. Because we have it, but we need to accept it. He will not force that relationship onto us. I'm thankful for those with the confidence to be honest and open with their harsh experiences, to help others. Look to God for his unworldly peace 🕊️💪🏽💗🙏

[@ari3lz3pp]

I know there are also arguments for abortion because of things like struggle and poverty... but there are SO many resources I wish I knew about myself. I knew of abortion clinics but not the motherhood clinics. My own family tried to get me to have an abortion because we were under poverty level at the time. My then boyfriend and I had not been in a great place emotionally, We both had been also told that we were infertile and extremely unlikely to reproduce without help. I was on birth control. The problem is many people today are not taught that abstinence is the only way to avoid pregnancy 100%. (Obviously other than rape, which is a very miniscule percentage of abortion circumstances). Also if you value your body hopefully you'll be more tedious about it. Tracking your ovulation is helpful too. But I feel in my circumstance God was leading me to keep my baby. I contemplated adoption, I had been ready to leave my boyfriend before I found out I was pregnant. We were very irresponsible. But even before we were saved God was leading us to be married. It seemed crazy to those around me and even to myself I thought I was crazy. Lol I basically felt that I would have more control over how my child's time would be with his family since I did not know them very well... If we were to be married. And I did hope that that would solidify his commitment to being a father. I told him as much and we negotiated to the point where he proposed to me. We didn't have significant help. We had people willing to watch our baby maybe an hour here and there, and they would hardly do things like change diapers so rashes got bad when we would give our child over. When the disabilities became more obvious, even less help. For years we had no one, my husband was working 60 hours a week so we could live in a ghetto slum apartment by the time our child was 5. Before that we had to sleep in the car and stay with in-laws that hated me, in exchange for my work as a housekeeper/ yard maintenance etc. I legitimately couldn't afford to work and pay someone trustworthy and experienced to help. But it was God's plan. After the move to our apartment, we were on the brink of divorce. We were using a charter school after discovering physical and likely sexual abuse in the public school. Then my husband accepted salvation. I followed a week later. I still didn't understand some pivitol things about myself and about Christianity but studied and learned. My husband and I learned to serve one another, for God before ourselves. Our love blossomed. ❤ Our family life got better. It's been 6 years, feels longer. It's hard to believe where we came from emotionally, and spiritually, even physically in many ways. Though of course we still struggle we can handle it much better when accepting the guidance and protection of the ALMIGHTY Lord! 😊 All this to say it would've felt easy in the moment, to have an abortion. If I had been tempted away from that feeling, God speaking to my heart, and unfortunately it happens a lot to too many people. It's happened to me in other ways. But I'm grateful to have made it through what we did, to be where we are. You can do it, whomever you are, God will bring you through your struggle, in the end. Lean on him. ❤

I'm 25 right now. Had an abortion in 2018. Made a decision to be completely disconnected from my unborn child from the moment I realised I was pregnant. The reality of what I did despite my severance of the connection between my child and I caught up to me last year. I murdered my child. I know I'm forgiven and free, however, not void of the consequences, namely not being totally sure what the gender of my baby is. When God gives me confirmation that I absolutely cannot deny of what his or her gender is, I don't say this in self-condemnation, but to me, when I finally 100% know what his or her gender is, that will be like me having served my prison sentence and being told I'm being released. Here's a current mystery to me... My baby never sinned. I think? My child wasn't born into sin because my child was murdered in my womb... I can be corrected on that based on biblical correction, but so far as I know, my child has never sinned... My innocent, sweet baby. In slowly telling more and more people about what happened to my child, I like to say, "Don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for my child who was brutally murdered." AGAIN, I know I am forgiven. However, now that I know that the "clump of cells," the "fetus," the "non-human" that was inside of me was in fact a human being, I am grieving the death of my child. So yes, there is pain in what I write in this comment, and nothing, nothing, nothing I could EVER, EVER, EVER do will take away the gravity of what I did... Nothing or no one. But Jesus...

As someone that stands out at the clinics, this is not as traumatizing or as much of a hard decision as we would like to I think. There are moms and dads that know exactly what they're doing. And they genuinely don't care. They laugh about it. They say they'll b do it again. We had one mom that killed her baby say that she'll murder a guy that was telling her abortion is murder. I've had moms tell me this is only my whatever number abortion. To so many mom's toys is not a big deal. It's not a hard decision. In the end, that decision was her decision. Timberlake didn't want to be a father, fine. Then sign over your rights. She wanted to be a mother but listened to him. I don't get this idea of "we're too young to have a baby." But yet you're not too young to have sex?? Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are both parents to a baby they created. Just that they allow their baby to be killed. "MY BODY, MY CHOICE" IS ONE OF THE GREATEST LIES EVER SOLD! If it was the moms body, then she'd be the one being killed. Not the life inside. If that is harsh to read or to hear, imagine what the babies are going through while they're being ripped into pieces, giving massive heart attacks, drowned in a saline solution if they were born in a botched abortion. Imagine them being suffocated or attracted to death. Or intentionally being born alive to be harvested for their organs because they need live tissue from these babies. I can go on but it is dreadful. And gut wrenching

Those people who brag about their abortions are more often than not hiding their actual pain via drugs, alcohol, fornication (equating sex with love), partying, mental health issues, suicide, crimes, etc. If it doesn’t hit them like a ton of bricks when YOU encounter them in front of the clinics trust and believe it will later in life. Just read all the comments on this video of regret years later. I also know from the women in my life that have had one or thought about having one that they wished they chose life. There is NEVER peace when doing evil in the sight of the Lord. A person can pretend all they want to save face that they are totally okay with their poor decision(s) but reality says different. I do want to say what you are doing for the Kingdom of God is selfless and admirable!

Abortion is a very tragic thing. Even for those who claim they love ripping babies apart. That is just a defense mechanism for their pain, anger and loss. They need prayer and Jesus. I would like to know where you are getting scripture about actual babies in heaven. Would you and your hubby be willing to do a podcast or something where, let's face it, dead babies grow in heaven and their mothers will watch them grow? I am wondering if these aborted babies are a day old just waiting for the few who become born again to mother them? I didn't realize there would be mother/child relationships in heaven. We won't have all the suffering that we had on earth. So, I don't know how we would feel that loss when we get to heaven. I know there won't be husband/wife relationships but relationships will be so much better than they ever have been here on earth. Some claim that we will all be the same age in heaven. I don't know about that either. I would love to see scripture and study on this because I'm lost on this subject.
