“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Isaiah 40:28-29 NIV

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6
Many, if not most women are traumatized after having an abortion. But you will never hear about that because Pro-Abortion proponents don’t want you to know the heart-breaking, hidden side of abortion.
The following quotes are just a few testimonies from real women who had abortions and what they want other women to know.
It’s been 50 years, but I am still grieved. Only through the forgiveness of Jesus have I been able to live with what I did.
Nobody will ever understand what you will go through after it’s all done. Abortion doesn’t make a baby go away, it just makes a dead baby.”
I pray God forgives me and that someday I’ll see my baby in heaven. It’s been 26 years and I will never forget.”
I’m 51 and had my abortion when I was 18. I think about my baby every day.”
I am 70 years old; I had an abortion 30 years ago. I still regret my abortion every day of my life. I think about the baby that I aborted.…
I killed my baby, it has been 33 years, please don’t kill your baby it will change your life forever…”
I made the biggest mistake of my life and didn’t see it, until it was too late. I regret going through with the abortion. I’m lost, hurt, and the guilt is eating me alive.
We are told as women we have a choice but no one explains what we are choosing. I doubt many would choose to feel the way I have for 10 years so that is why I am SILENT NO MORE.
There is no safety net at Planned Parenthood to protect women who may be at risk for traumatization. They don’t care.
A textbook of the National Abortion Federation has identified many “negative reactions” (p.28-29) that some women have after abortion; some are trauma symptoms: nightmares about babies, insomnia, negative emotions of guilt, anger, worthlessness, and shame, “blocking out the experience,” avoiding things that trigger memories about the abortion, “engaging in self-punishing behaviors such as substance abuse . . . and relationships with abusive partners,” suicidal thoughts, “relentless thoughts of being a bad person,” and various self-destructive behaviors (Baker, Beresford, Halvorson-Boyd, & Garrity, 1999 pp.28-29).
Current Data on Side Effectsof Abortion
In Rue et al. (2004), 30% of the American women reported nightmares associated with their abortion.
Intrusion symptoms reported after abortion include nightmares, flashbacks, and memories that “seemed to intrude despite trying to forget” (Dykes, Slade, & Haywood, 2010).
In a study comparing 331 Russian and 217 American women, 48% of the Russians and 65% of the Americans reported one or more intrusion symptoms specifically related to a past abortion (Rue, Coleman, Rue, & Reardon, 2004).
“Abortion is known as a main cause of maternal mortality, life-threatening complications such as hemorrhage, fever, and infection on the one hand, and psychological disorders such as regret, guilt, smoking, alcoholism, self-destructive behaviors, and even suicide on the other.” NIH (National Institutes of Health)
You probably haven’t heard about these studies and for obvious reasons. The abortion industry doesn’t want you to know! They want women to believe that pro-life groups want to take away their right to health care. They want women to believe that their pregnancy isn’t a baby. It’s a clump of cells. This is all propaganda. If they really sought the welfare of the woman as they purport to do, they would show her an ultrasound and make sure she had all the facts. But, well, they would lose a lot of money if they did that!
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
If you have had an abortion and are suffering trauma, know that Jesus loves you. He will forgive you and cleanse you from a guilty conscience. See my page Who Is Jesus?
“since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus … let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience …” Hebrews 10:19&22 NIV

“I know how to get along and live humbly [in difficult times], and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret [of facing life], whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance or being in need.I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]” From the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:12-13 AMP

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6
“People were bringing children to Him so that He would touch and bless them, but the disciples reprimanded them and discouraged them [from coming].But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and He said to them, “Allow the children to come to Me; do not forbid them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever does not receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” And He took the children [one by one] in His arms and [a]blessed them [with kind, encouraging words], placing His hands on them.” Mark 10:13-16 AMP
Footnote: Mark 10:16 The basic meaning of the Greek word found here for “blessed” is to speak kindly of someone. Jesus was probably giving the children encouragement as only He could, with His infallible knowledge of each child’s future.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6
“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1 NIV (emphasis mine)
This is the parable:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think,yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:2-8 NIV
