“You Care about Me, Right?”
— Posted by John (July 7, 2010 at 11:15 am)
I recently came across a powerful post-abortion testimony written by a woman named Lindsay Sherbondy.
Writing in the form of an Open Letter “to the men and women of the pro-choice movement,” Lindsay begins:
As a senior in college, becoming a mother was not a part of my agenda. My boyfriend and I had lofty dreams, goals, and aspirations. We were prepared planners who knew the importance of higher education and were grounded in the fact that we were going to become professionals first and parents later.
Statistical believers, we were devastated to find that we fell within the two percent margin in which the birth control pill does not in fact prevent unwanted pregnancy. Products of a generation groomed to feel more entitled than any group preceding us, we probably took the right to choose more casually than the pro-choice activists of the 1970s. In an era where the Roe vs. Wade decision is as normal to American 20-somethings as the desegregation of public schools, our reaction to the first positive pregnancy test was what you have been fighting for: “We have a choice to make.” In our situation, we chose abortion.

John, what a great testimony. And that’s just ONE of so many post abortive women who have been deceived by the abortion industry - which tries to portray itself as “helping women”.

Didn’t you just question the efficacy of protestants on the other topic?
How about testimony from women who wish they had opted for abortion?

This is so sad that women aren’t informed about any of the facts/consequences of abortion. Or maybe they’re so scared that they don’t want to know. Either way, it’s shameful of the abortion industry.

Actually Ella, they are. It’s just that sites like this ‘guild the lily’ somewhat. There is so much information available. And sites such as this and the associated campaigns on the street means people have a wide source of information available.
