I was 17 when I got pregnant. No car, license, job, and still in high school. My stepmom who my dad always sided with, told me if I didn't have an abortion that she would pay for, I could not live in their house. My mother cried for 4 days and told me to get an abortion. Everyone, litterly, everyone told me I ruined my life. Even at 17, I KNEW I couldn't abort my baby. I always knew it was a baby. I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Once I made my decision, my mom tried to talk me into adopting her out to a friend of hers who couldn't have children. I refused. The dad was around and helped but he still went off and partying, lying, and tried to cheat on me. My stepmom and dad kicked me out of the house while pregnant, so I stayed with the dad of the baby and grandma (his mom). I graduated a year early, 1 month before her birth by going through a special program through the local college (so lucky they had that for ppl like me or ppl behind in school). I graduated from my home high school a year early. My mom let me and the dad stay with her for 3 months after my baby was born. We got a duplex in the ghetto and broke up after he had an affair on me with a married woman at home depot where he was working. I worked as much as I could. Worked hard with no skills living in a two bedroom trailer with my best friend at the time I got close to at work. I met my husband at 23 and went to college. Got my degree, married in punta cana on the beach, bought a beautiful house and had two more kids. The dad is still involved, but that baby is now 15 years old and just got her first job and is learning how to drive. All this to say, I didn't ruin my life. You will still meet a good guy who will love your child as their own, you can still go to college, you can still make a beautiful life if you want it enough to work hard for it. She was the best baby, and sweetest toddler/kid, and as a teen, she's not so bad 😂 she taught me unconditional love and I would die for her. I thank God he gave me the strength to beat the odds and not cave to everyone around me.
I love your story. 😊 Every baby is a blessing. My sister also got pregnant in High school, and my sister had similar problems with the dad. But everyone is happy and healthy now, I can’t imagine life without my niece. Who just turned 22! We need to love these children, they are not burdens.
God Bless! You should be on the panel because it is possible. And I’m sorry that your dad at the time could not have been more understanding. But I also know it was a different time. I know how that happens. I was 16 when I first got pregnant and my mom knew right away. She wanted me to have an abortion and I ultimately said no, but I ended up miscarrying anyway, and that was God‘s decision. I have a beautiful daughter now who is 28 and two grandchildren. Life is good. It’s not always easy but us women always seem to manage! Take care and thank you for sharing your beautiful story. 🙏🏽♥️💯
Your story brought me to tears, truly beautiful. You hold so much strength,grace, and beauty! You are a superhero and your children are blessed to have you. God bless you and your family 💗
My story is very similar. I was being forced by my parent too! I was 16 amd pregnant. The dad stood by me and we did marry. We divorced many years later and I remarried. I had my child back in 87. He has given me 4 grandchildren. I was never blessed with any more children . Having my son was the best thing that ever happened to me. As young as I was...He was 100% wanted!
@@JackThomas3-kz5bv Sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is a sin. People were healthier and happier when this was societally known and respected.
I just googled "post abortion syndrome," and all of the articles were questioning whether it even exists. The evil of the pro abortion side apparently knows no bounds.
It is very real. To deny that mothers don't feel a lifetime of regret, grief, despair after they've lost their children forever...when the cause of the death is abortion...is truly gaslighting.
90% of women who have had an abortion have some sort of mental trauma/disorder. Whether it is depression, anxiety, eta. That statistic was back when I researched it for a paper in high school only a few years later in college when I researched it again they dropped the number to 80%. These statistics were on abortion websites. Idk what they have it as now. Knowing that abortion clinics lie I think the actual numbers would be closer to 98% or more of women have some sort of mental trauma after an abortion.
I should be a father. 22 years ago, when I and my girlfriend were just 17, we were pushed by our direct environment to abort our baby. I wish, still every day, that I would have stepped up, but I didn't. And that is somethig I have to live with every day. The girlfriend from back then has a beautiful daugther rigth now, so God bless her. Me, I am a 39 year old drunk (not looking for your sympathy tho, it's all my choice) In the abortion question, people often forget the men. Just my two cents.
I'm the same age, and childless but a woman. I've never experienced this before, but your comment provoked a deep pain within me. I know you're not looking for sympathy, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers, thank you for contributing to this discussion. Including the fathers is so important. 💯
I'm sorry, I truly hope you receive the healing you need. You are so right that men are often forgotten in this, but their feelings do matter and should be recognized and talked about.
Thank you for sharing your story. I was conceived through IVF and was the only survivor from among the 9 of us that were conceived. As a man myself, I have been told many times to stay silent about the children being killed through abortion. We mustn’t listen to these people. We must speak the truth even louder, that abortion is never okay! There are many sins I have committed in my past, know that God wants to forgive all. We can trust Our Lord that He Loves us, and we can have hope that we will see our family members again.
This was so therapeutic. I was balling as I listened. Would be nice to hear from the fathers of these precious babies. I feel we do not account for the grief they also have to endure. Thanks again to all these wonderful ladies. God bless you
There's a heart wrenching video of a young man at an abortion clinic screaming and bawling as he pleads with the mother of his child to not go through with it. And when the doors close behind her and he is left outside inconsolable, it will shatter your heart as he cries out "I'm such a good dad! I'm such a good dad!" as he already has a child with this woman.
Look up a story it's been told on this channel im sure of a guy who advocates for his daughter killed aborted called clementine it's heart breaking men aren't included enough on these convos I don't get why tbh
I used to be pro life personally, but pro-choice for others. These interviews have had me crying for days and I have completely converted to staunchly pro-life under all circumstances. I can’t even wrap my mind around how evil the abortion industry is. It’s so much more diabolical than I could have ever imagined.
I follow abolitionist rising channel. I've not been pro choice for a long time. Abolitionist are more than pro life and expose how many conservatives aren't very pro life. I'm am abolitionist
Same, I was pro life for myself but pro choice for others, coz I didn’t want to judge or it’s non of my business…. But how can we think, I would never kill but I’m ok with other people killing! I’m pro life all the way around…. Coz there is no excuse for an abortion!theres plenty of contraceptives that work, there’s plenty of resources to give birth and put up for an adoption….but no, there is never good enough reason to kill a baby
I’m still pro choice, although I myself could never have an abortion. I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT condone using law to force a woman to gestate against her will. What we need to do is support women so they don’t see abortion as a “solution” - give them much better actual solutions! What I can’t understand is why people who say they care so much about abortion don’t do everything possible to mitigate the reasons women get abortions. It’s been shown that the places with lower abortion rates aren’t the ones with bans, they’re the places with strong social economic safety nets. Why aren’t people who want fewer abortions fighting to create a society where *everyone* has accessible, affordable, publicly funded healthcare as a right? Why don’t anti-choice people fight for widely accessible, affordable publicly funded birth control and family planning? Why don’t anti-choice people fight for publicly funded higher education, job protections for pregnant women, family leave acts? I’m firmly on the political left. I don’t want a dog-eat-dog society where everyone is left to their own devices, I want a society where we all pitch in and take care of each other. I am a high earner with no children (and no abortions - I could never do that) so my taxes are pretty high already, but I absolutely wouldn’t object to paying more taxes to set up all the programs I mentioned above, which by the way, all exist in many other countries. What I can’t do is insist on seeing women in financial distress, devoid of hope, facing so many challenges, and then judge her for what she does when there’s one more situation that will create even more hardship. Everyone who makes the choice to prohibit women from getting abortions has to live with the responsibility of that decision. We can’t just force gestation and birth onto others, then walk away feeling righteous. We need to do a lot more than that. People who insist on passing abortion bans which don’t work to lower abortion rates while impeding implementation of social programs that do lower abortion rates are part of the problem - not the solution.
@@maargenbx1454 there is plenty of resources for women who can’t afford to have a baby, PLENTY!!! And pro life people donate to those resources! We don’t kill our existing kids when we have financial problems, why do we think it’s ok to kill the ones that are most vulnerable? And this is not about judging women! We don’t judge the ones who get abortions, we want them to see what abortion actually is,that it’s not a clamp of cells and biological dispose, these are babies! Most women don’t even know what abortion actually is, they are mislead, and we can see that in this video! Instead of promoting abortion, What I would suggest, why not make birth control more affordable for women, like IUD for example or any other…. That way there would be MUCH LESS abortion ! What kind of society are we if we are ok with killing unborn/unprotected children? Also, our taxes are already pretty high and everyone in this country should have resources they need, but our governments choose to fund wars in other countries instead of taking care of their people… but that’s a slightly different topic
My ex wanted me to have an about at 5/6 months pregnant. It still traumatizes me just the thoughts alone. I felt like I was literally in hell. Like I’d rather die that live with that. She was already kicking at that point. I already had a name. I already loved her. She’s 8 wks now 🩷
These women are so good to let their grief and wrestling be public. Praying that minds and hearts will be opened to see how infinitely important each person is🤍
@@hayley718 Planned Parenthood often targets blacks and black communities (due to what black culture has devolved to), and planned parenthood was originally established to control the growth of the black race in America.
@@hayley718 a black baby in is US has more chances to be aborted than to be born. This is my point. My point is not that other races don't struggle. But that the brainwashing of PP has outreached the black community, so much that a black mother's womb is the least safe place for a black baby.
Whats pro life about denying women medical care. In a failed miscarriage you need to suck out the rest of the cells (aka abortion) otherwise you die from infection like Amber Thurman. Her death was not very "pro-life"
If you weren't ready to be a mother but consented, you are still a mother. If you did not consent, that is why it is such a heinous and devastating crime. You are still a mother though. If we don't value and protect life, how can we justify valuing and protecting ourselves? Sincerely, A female CSA+ survivor
@@Leesoldier12 Welcome to religion, and believing that life is a test of sorts. Otherwise if we live as animals, then children are simply byproducts of what makes us feel good. Take your pick.
I used to be a nanny and housekeeper. Every family I worked with besides 1 had suffered at least 1 miscarriage and the grief was real, little framed ultrasounds, angel placards, and graves. One family, both parents were having issues with autoimmune complications, and they had 9 miscarriages, 9 lost children, 1 while I was working for them. I walked in on the wife while one of her family members was on the phone telling her she should just get over it because it wasn't even a baby yet. She started screaming sobbing, I was so taken aback by how someone could say something so cruel to someone, so I walked over and grabbed the phone and hung up and sat her down and just hugged her and let her cry until she fell asleep. Once she fell asleep I just went out in the hall and cried. Cried for the couple desperate to be parents, for the loss of life, for the callous nature of our society. I will never support abortion. The loss of human life is a gut punch every time.
You right our society has become so callous!! Th abortion mill is a death cult!! Young women walking out of the clinics have died a little bit inside!!
People who don't care about unborn baby seem heartless and they only care about their selfish decision on how to get rid of problems in the easiest way. 😢
I'm not a particularly religious but I find the abortion agenda to be vile and disgusting. As a father of two boys, I dispise men who suggest or coerce their female companions to dispose of their children. As a man I'm not supposed to be allowed to have an opinion on this topic, buti find abortion to be atrocious. If a woman can't keep the child for whatever reason, please willing and lovingly carry the baby to term and put the baby up for adoption. No matter the circumstances mothers aren't supposed to destroy their young
It is so important to have strong pro-life men! I hope you teach your boys to be pro-life and to see the inherent value of every human life. And you have every right to have an opinion on abortion because it takes a woman AND a man to make a baby. It always gladdens my heart to see men standing up for life, you're the protector of your family, and by default- a protector of life. Be sure that your children know you love them, and as they grow be sure to let them know that any children they bring into this world will be loved too!
@@faithoreilly i will never for them to be involved in an abortion with my knowledge. caring for that child or giving it up for adoption are the only answers. abortion is never a solution. the first thing you have to teach them is not get a woman pregnant unless they are hopefully married, or atleast in a committed relationship. my wife and i were married 7 years before we had mathew (our 13 year old). we are still married, just had our 20th anniversary. that's another important thing, that the boys see their parents still together and usually happy (nothing is perfect) after 20 years. the abortion nonsense has also been fueled by dissolving the nuclear family structure in our country. somehow "hookup" culture is considered "normal", it shouldn't be. i also think it's part of a sick agenda. push abortion, homosexuality, and this transgender lie and what do you have, the reduction of the American population (particularly white people). bring in illegal immigrants, make them citizens outside of the normal process and what do you end up with? american citizens being minorities in our own country, they bring customs in that are not compatible with our own. what we will end up with if this doesn't stop wont end well. im disgusted with the direction this country is heading. it's all bad. vote trump
@@CarlitaS12377 i was adopted at birth myself. my adoptive mother is one of those "my body my choice" supporting morons. we no longer talk. i cannot stand on the same political side as her, and her logic escapes me as she adopted me
@@andrewdonohue1853 Thanks for sharing. My dad was also adopted at birth. I also don't understand the whole my body my choice argument either. What about the unborn baby's choice? That's never considered or thought about.
I know many won’t believe in this statement (and it isn’t up for debate with me if you don’t believe), but God is a healer. The only way to heal properly is to cast your grief and cares on him. Then repent for the sin of murder, and accept that God has forgiven you. Then you can begin to forgive yourself. If you are a believer & saved, you will meet your babies again in Heaven. Praying for everyone because I understand what that pain feels like. 🙏🏽❤️
It's not just believers and being saved. Part of God's Plan is organizing us into families to care for each other in this life and the next. We cannot change our parents, nor our children, and are bound to each other in that regard. We will face them on the other side, and part of Judgement will be how we manifested our faith in fulfilling our familial duties. And as a survivor of CSA+, courtesy of my parents? I am not looking forward to being stuck with them for eternity. Forgiveness doesn't erase what they stole from me, nor can I separate from the fact they also gave me life and am considered a blessing to them. It's messed up, from our mortal perspective. All I can hope and pray for is justice and that we won't be working with them forever. No matter what I do, according to Christian theology I am damned. Hell and eternal torment if I sin or revel against the Word, or if I follow Christ and somehow obtain Heaven, then it's being surrounded by happy families while dealing with mine.
@@Undomaranel Forgive me if I'm assuming too much, but it sounds to me like you've been raised LDS. If that's the case, I would like to gently encourage you to look at other denominations, religions, or even step back from religion as a whole if that's where your heart is. There is no god worth worshipping and praising that would sentence a victim to an eternity with their abusers. That is not loving, nor is it forgiving, kind, and perfect. It is evil.
@@just-a-generic-username That's Christian theology. I've done my research fam, far more than just LDS. That's Biblical. Why else do you think Christ expects us to forgive seventy times seven without exception, especially those who betray you? Why do you think He set that example for us at His end with Judas and Peter? Because God knew we would have to endure eternity among people, be it in Hell or Heaven, who did us dirty. The only thing keeping us worthy then will be how we respond, and the best training for that is mortality where we know we can have forgiveness if repentance is sincere. Even media depictions of Heaven joke about conflicts, be it Tom and Jerry to the Simpsons. Ultimately the only person you can control is yourself, and moving past mortal strife is kind of the whole point of Christian theology... more so when titles like mother and father are forever. And no, as much as that church would want to claim it, the honor of being a mother and father is far more than some temple covenant or ritual, as immortalized in the Ten Commandments and before that with Adam and Eve. We WILL face those we lived among during life. We WILL be judged on how we treated them. They WILL be judged on how they treated us. And each of us will be held accountable for any ill will or fear we held onto rather than turning our pain over and allowing forgiveness and love to transform us. Don't believe me? Go ask anyone in clergy. This is a "pearls before swine" teaching that's often buried due to it being unpopular, a "milk before meat" deal. But it's there baked into the doctrine by the religion's own Savior and God. Heaven isn't just some paradise and rest where you're alone, the New Testament speaks of rooms prepared in the mansions of God for everyone who makes it... aka your neighbors. And if you don't love your neighbor as you are commanded to love yourself? If you don't forgive them for their human faults? If you can't restore the broken family torn apart by human temptations? Then you will not be a good neighbor in Heaven's mansions. You will be lukewarm and spat out. It's all there for those with ears to hear. And for the Mormon perspective, pray about it and see what the Holy Ghost confirms to you. Why else did God still communicate with David and Solomon despite the disgusting murder and sex and lies and deception and weaponizing innocent people? Because to Him sex and murder are animal things. They're only unforgivable in the sense that you permanently affect other's lives and steal that from God. Other than that, they're just more expected sins that we are supposed to learn how to overcome... and if you still don't believe that reread Elijah and Elisha, Jeremiah, and the Apostles among the Gentiles. It's all there, abhorrent as it is to our mortal bodies to realize.
Abortion survivors are Gods direct way of giving us the opportunity to see our flaws,and the pain we've inflicted upon the innocent. The choice to choose change is the blessing, and the reward for choosing life is salvation! 💝 I was instructed that I should terminate my pregnancy twice throughout the pregnancy due to my child's medical diagnosis. I prayed and prayed for protection over my child, a perfect birth later and some slight medical accomodations and here my baby is today growing running and playing just as any child does. Sharing stories like these women are doing here saves not only the innocent lives of the babies, but the lives and souls of the mothers as well. Thank you to these brave woman for sharing🙏✨💞 Blessings to the woman in need fearing for the life of her and her baby, make it known they are loved❤
My mother was 18, she already had two little girls, one was 7 months old, the other was three. My grandmother who had an abortion with twins in the 1940's with no guilt even though she was married, demanded that my mother have an abortion or she would kick her out. She found a doctor, made the appointment but my mother begged not to go through with it. She won! My infant older sister weighed 10 pounds so because my mother had a large belly and a young doctor, neither realized she was actually pregnant with twins! My twin and I were born 6 weeks early at 5 lb 7 oz and 5 lb 11 oz. I'm glad my mother chose life!
I'm a Registered Nurse. I took care of a mother at a small town Arizona hospital where I worked as a travel nurse. I was working on a regular Medical/Surgical floor. This woman came in who had had some type of abortion requiring a medication to be inserted vaginally, but she had changed her mind and come into the ER late at night. They put her in one of the beds on my unit stating she was approx 19 wks 6 days, and she wasn't eligible to go to the Labor and Deliver unit until 20 weeks (I thought that's dumb, it's close enough, plus I didn't know much about caring for pregnant patients). She had a bad infection, and I was told we were just treating her for the infection and she was likely to finish the abortion since she had taken some, even if it wasn't all, of the vaginal inserts. She started having labor pains and crying saying she wanted to save the baby. I called her admitting doctor requesting she at least be transferred to the maternity ward, but he said "She's already a single mother of 4 with a history of drug addiction. Since she wanted an abortion in the first place just let her have it" and hung up on me. I wasn't sure what to do. I called a maternity nurse to come check her, and the baby still had a strong heartbeat, and she was only a couple centimeters dilated. I called the doctor back and informed him of these things and demanded he give me orders to transfer her, stop labor, and sustain the pregnancy as she was trying to save her baby, that how many kids she had or a history of drug use had absolutely no bearing at this time, and I would make a lot of trouble in this small town for him in a legal sense and in a sense of making it difficult publicly for him in that small town by making sure folks knew of his lack of professionalism and compassion for his patients. He sighed, cussed, and did what I asked. When she would have been about 7 months I saw her at a store and she looked to still be pregnant. It's been 20 years and I still wonder If the baby was okay. Listening to you all talk has encouraged me in my hopes that the child survived and had no permanent damage. At least I pray that's the case. Thanks for reading this long comment. Sorry but just wanted to say something that was on my mind for a while.
Abortion survivers should speak more!!! They represent all the unwanted babies who dont have a voice, because it is being taken away, but they have a right to livge just like everyone else!!! The industry wants to silence you, say you were a mistake because "you should have died" ,but it just the opposite, you deserve to live and are just as valuable!! And anyone who says you are not is showing how souless they are
And the voice of young mothers! My mother had me at 17. She was told by many to abort. I am thankful to be alive and my life is good! I thank her and love her so much for giving me a chance. And it’s SO invalidating to hear people say that, given my mother’s circumstances, I should have been unalived. People have no clue.
The woman who survived the saline solution abortion was likely the same gestational age as the baby boy currently in my belly. I broke down crying just imagining him enduring that kind of torture at 31 weeks old. He’s already head down and so strong. My belly is so big. My heart breaks for her and her birth mother.
My boys were born at 30+2 and 31+3, and when each was born, he was a baby. They were obviously both smaller than full term babies, but both latched onto my breasts almost immediately. Both were soothed by my scent and calmed while in my arms, as they were the only, “home” they’d known. Both of my boys focused on my face while I held them and both searched for me when I needed to set him down. Once came home at 6 weeks and the other at only 4 weeks post birth. Today, they are 8 and 9 years old and both play for elite ice hockey teams and travel across the country showcasing their natural talent. My younger son was tested at 6 and determined to be PROFOUNDLY gifted, while the other tested as HIGHLY gifted. They both excel at whatever they set their minds out to do. Both of my boys have always sought out the child playing alone and would play alongside him or her, (when toddlers) or encourage him or her to play along with them, (from about age 4 on). They are extremely kind, thoughtful, responsible, diligent, generous and affectionate. Being born a bit early had zero impact on either one long term. A baby in utero who is 30 weeks old is just as much a baby who is born at 40 weeks. Congratulations on your pregnancy and for the life growing within who IS a baby. A whole human who I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to bring into this world. You’re already a wonderful mother.
@@jessmcnulty3043 Thank you so much. As mothers, it is not our choice to decide whether they live or die. While pregnant, we are just temporary custodians and vessels for their development. The uterus is the only organ in our bodies that was not designed for our use, but instead for the generation that will follow us. As mothers, we should be their first line of defense and advocates. The culture is wrong right now, but I know the truth will prevail and good will reign supreme once more. The first battleground is not a political one, but a fight to win hearts and minds. Abortion will have to be considered reprehensible and out of the question before we can make it completely abolished.
I have two children, and am currently pregnant with my 3rd. This is so hard to listen to. Thank God for those born alive, the sweet angels that survived this horrific act of brutality. I pray for healing for all who’ve been affected by this “choice”. May those who have done this, ask the lord to open your heart and minds to ask for forgiveness and healing.
I had a baby at 19 who was adopted. I still get to see him and hang out with him. However I cry daily and struggle to be around children. I feel a deep sense of guilt and shame for not being able to raise the baby. Even though I know I was unable to care for myself at the time. I can only imagine the mental torment these women are dealing with. I wish all of them the best at a mental recovery.
A special blessing to you for giving him the chance to live. You had courage, and did the right thing. Of course you had a real loss; however, in the long run it was a big gain. For him, first. You made the sacrifice, and you will never have to look yourself in the mirror knowing you ‘chose’ to end a life. God bless you, and I hope you gain strength in knowing you did the right thing.
So much tragedy. Women seem so manipulated. But why on earth can't we people in the church come along side these pregnant young moms? Can we do nothing to strengthen their resolve?
You ARE wanted and designed by the God (Yahweh) who fasioned you in your mother's womb. I'm sorry that happened to you all, I accept you, and I am very grateful you all survived. Life is precious.
I went with a family member for support when i was in my late teens. They were 14. I thought it was normal. This should be shown to young girls and boys early on. It will change their perspective of unprotected sex for sure. It did for me. 😢 the courage to talk about it...
Same. We are 40 now and she is not okay. She has never been able to get past her guilt and her grief and she blames pro-lifers instead of taking accountability for what SHE did.
@@NiaLaLa_V guilt is a spiritual cancer, it will eat her from the inside out until she is physically and mentally sick. All friends and families can do is pray that her eyes will be opened & her heart softened to cry out to the Lord for forgiveness. 🙏 ✝ ⛪ He loves her- she has to seek Him
I know. .was just normal to us too as teens..u think up to a 3 months it's ok etc...young girls a few friends of mine had abortions...just like taking the morning after pill it was that easy it seemed too
@tashaax1993xanimalloverx I took a plan B once since I was not ready for kids 11 months apart. I was married but really young. I was trying to get my head around 1 baby and did not want another! I remember bleeding so much afterwards. I was told that later, by my OB, that was a sign it worked. I was shocked and sad at the same time. It did what it was supposed to do. I have 3 boys now but I always think about what that child would look like or be. 🥺
I just want to say thank you to Live Action for doing all these conversations face to face. I can understand better their experiences and I can learn a lot from them. God bless all these women and doctors
I just... I just cannot listen to the pro-abortion ads on videos without feeling absolute disgust. This breaks my heart. I don't have a right as a woman to do this. I never want the so-called "right" to do this. But these videos are so important. There is forgiveness and restoration through Jesus Christ. I pray more abortion providers and women who regret abortion will be saved and healed. I pray salvation and healing over survivors. May abortion be exposed and brought to an end.
Beautifully put, my sister. You speak the striking truth, abortion is the shameful murder of babies. Nonetheless, the blood of Jesus Christ washes away these sins❤
@@ConservativeBaddieTV no we very much do. We're pro choice, not pro abortion. We believe it's a decision you should NEVER take lightly. Either way, it will change your life, it's just that one is more likely to ruin you financially and socially, and the other may leave you with guilt.
@@NerdAlert42oh please stop with the lies, the Choice is nothing else but abortion, who are you lying to? “Pro choice” is a euphemism because none of you are actually for even stating explicitly what it is you are “pro choice” for, killing babies, which is very telling. The lady in the grey is very refreshing to listen to because she doesn’t beat around the bush nor try to sanitize her language of what is it that really happened to her babies.
I just wish I could tell my baby I'm sorry. I was deceived, and if I could go back I would carry my child to term. I don't even know if it was a boy or a girl but it was my baby and I didn't let them live. I'm just so sorry.
You are forgiven. Your son (or daughter) is safe in heaven. You will see him or her one day, and know the joy. Because you are sorry, and want forgiveness-you will have it. Jesus said to his apostles, “Suffer not the Children to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of Heaven. He was saying to his apostles to let the children come talk to him, when they were crowded around him. The apostles thought only mature (understanding) people should be near him. However, he explained that in heaven, there are far more innocent children in heaven than mature people. Take comfort in knowing you will be with them someday. In a happier place.
I'm 15 weeks pregnant, and my boyfriend and I were not expecting the baby, I was so scared after finding out and we are not even in the financial position to fully care for the baby... But the love we have for him or her is so much that we can't even fathom how someone who want to kill an innocent human. We're doing our best and working hard to prepare for our child's arrival and future. No child is a mistake. May God bless you ladies for speaking out on this issue.
Congratulations. There is a saying "life is what happens when we are making other plans". Sometimes the best things in life are unplanned. My most joyous moments were the birth of my kids. All 3 were technically 'unplanned', and very wanted.
My mother was on her way to import me when my grandmother who had actually been the one to make the appointment ironically turn the car around and that’s why I’m here today I would like everyone to know that my grandmother was actually wonderful woman
I hope these mama’s take comfort in knowing their babies although they didn’t get to live the life they were supposed to, they were raised in Heaven. With no pain. No suffering. Only joy. & they are waiting for you to come home to meet them face to face ♥️✝️ Glory to God.
I needed to see this. A family member of mine is an abortion survivor and her mother has loved her every single day. She is the biggest blessing of our entire family and I cannot imagine our lives without her. I hope she never finds out that she survived an abortion, because knowing that it could make her question her worth, or her "right" to exist would be horrible. No one has ever regretted her being with us. She has been treasured and loved dearly, and I am SO glad that she fought to survive. Thank you for sharing these stories.
Well she knows subconsciously. It’ll manifest later in life & be like a splinter in her mind. The Truth sets us free. How horrible to try to keep that secret from her for her life. I pray that all Truth gets revealed. People who hide things like that I pray too that the Lord humbles them.
@@Wellness_Rose Thank you for your prayers. I don't think her mom is hiding it out of selfish reasons, though. She is worried that it will make her daughter feel guilty or ashamed to be alive. It's such a difficult situation.
"I'm sad that my children didn't survive... I would give anything to be able to hold them and tell them that I love them and be a part or their lives..." Millions of lives destroyed by this industry 💔
@@Iamhome365and this is where abolitionists and pro lifers differ. Abolitionists believe in consequences, and pro life sees women as victims who are ignorant and should not have any consequences for murder....no matter how many times. It's interesting, isn't it? Murder always gets consequences...or should..in our law system. But abortion doesn't have consequences... Just words. I guess it's not murder after all?
@@npt5982 The problem is that women are gaslit every day by their own doctors, their family members, the media, medical articles, and more to genuinely believe that murder is not taking place. I believe abortion should be abolished. I do not believe that women who have had abortions should be put in prison unless it can be proven in court that she had the mens rea to commit it.
@@Iamhome365 that is truly hard for me to understand. One time is devastating enough. I couldn't imagine going back over and over again. But our culture says it's fine...at least 40% of post-abortive women have more than one elective abortion. The pro-abortion activists I've heard from will say "have as many as you want, it's birth control!" 😢
They’ve repented! How dare you?? You know how hard it must be to admit their sin openly?? They are living with the condemnation daily mentally, physically and most important spiritually! Per scripture, once they’ve repented, which they have, you have no right to throw it at them! God does not like that per scripture! You all should repent for such wretchedness.
So incrediblly moving. The love of Jesus that shines in these women bring tears to my eyes. I just want woman to see the horrific truth of abortion so they can find forgiveness if theyve participated in it. As a christian who is publicly prolife, I was told by another christian that I was shaming women by speaking about my prolife stances and implying that "stereotypical evangelicals" like me should not speak out if they havent had abortions. I'm still genuinely shocked when i hear christian women supporting abortion and hearing this conversation stirs up that conviction even more. The pain these women have gone through is tangible and there is absolutely no room in Christianity for this bloody industry.
Wow. What a group powerful and vulnerable young women. They are powerful because they are vulnerable. May God bless you! Your messages are so strong. Thank you for your testimony
My son was born premature at 24 weeks (6 months) weighing less than 2 pounds. He fought as hard as I did for him to LIVE. Hes now 17 with no lasting health problems. Just because a baby is born early doesnt mean theré will be complications or brain damage. My son was in the NICU at the U of Louisville for 3 months. I am blessed and thank Gód everyday for both my kids. ❤
I also find it vile, women that will have an abortion without telling the man and giving him the opportunity to take the baby. She could surrender her rights and give him full custody. There are men who would protect their children
Also, it’s held up as a woman’s right, her body, her choice, but many women are actually pressured into abortion or downright forced by boyfriends, husbands, and their own parents and families! Sure, there might not be many situations in the US where woman are physically restrained and forced onto an operating table (though I’d wager it does happen), but many women are trapped in extreme imbalances of power and are manipulated into thinking they have no choice. A fourteen-year-old whose parents tell her she’s going to have an abortion has very little recourse to refuse, for example. She might not even have access to a phone or the internet, and is completely dependent on her parents. She could run away, but what if she lives in a rural area and has no way to get to a place where she could get help? As a child I distinctly remember eavesdropping on a conversation between my mother and another woman and that woman said her young daughter had gotten pregnant a decade earlier, and that she’d made her get an abortion. Her tone and the context of the conversation made it very obvious that the decision was made for the daughter by the woman. It was not the girl’s choice regarding her body or between “the girl and her doctor.” The mom unilaterally decided and had it done.
@biblia843 it's despicable that this happens, outside of keeping the baby the only other conversation that should be had is adoption. Adoption needs to be inexpensive and accessible. If you can prove to able to provide a steady income, housing and food should be all that should be required
This made me cry so much. It was so beautiful hearing all of their stories - they are all such strong courageous women. It is so important to bring these stories to the surface and for everyone to hear them, regardless of whether you are pro-abortion or anti-abortion. Gigi’s dream about her eight babies’ hands inside her belly was heartbreaking 💔 God bless all of these beautiful women and their families.
My father is an abortion survivor. I only just found out a few years ago. He never really talks about it and i dont know much about the entire story. But they quietly exist. Everywhere
A beautiful lie saved my life. I was conceived via an extramarital affair, my biological mother was "the other woman". I'm not entirely sure of all the details but my father wanted nothing to do with me so my mother decided to have me killed. The doctor she went to was a Christian man and he told her she was to far along to terminate me but suggested she could adopt me out, which she did. I have lived a wonderful and blessed life i am so grateful to the doctor who saved me from death and to my real parents who raised me and gave me a wonderful life. I am now nearly 40 i am married and have 4 children of my own. I didn't ask to be conceived but i deserved to have this chance. This is very emotional to listen to but I'm glad the conversation is being had.
I’m so sorry for your pain! I’m praying for you 💕 do you have a healing place to go to start that journey to knowing that you’re forgiven? Rachel’s Vineyard is a beautiful ministry…
If you are truly sorry; you are truly forgiven. Your child in heaven knows your heart. He or she will see you one day. You will know that joy, of a mother and child together for the first time. As though you gave birth.
@@chinablue2425 We only go to heaven if we have accepted Jesus Christ's atoning work on the cross. Of course, innocent little babies/children do go to heaven when they die.
I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the trauma. Please know there is healing and forgiveness for you in Jesus. He died to forgive you of your sins. Romans 10:9 - "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
One of the most beautiful experiences I had during a deliverance meeting was when I woman who had had deliverance, and she has said she had had an abortion. After her deliverance she was caught up to Heaven and held her baby. She was rocking back and forth as she was holding her baby. The Pastor asked her, "Is baby mad?" Her answer was no, baby was not mad. This woman received incredible healing as she held her baby and knowing she would see that baby in Heaven one day. 🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹 Blessings to all the Moms who will one day meet their babies.
What an amazing serie Life Action!! So many women who aborted their babies wanted them to survive!! How powerful to hear from these 2 survivors "I forgive you".... post abortive women so much need to hear this! Thank you Melissa and Claire! God bless your good hearth🙏, the suffering you went through have a purpose! Because of this you are the ones who can bring healing and hope to so many 🙏🙏🙏
The saddest part is the people that could be saved by this video will refuse to watch it. The women who need not make the mistake. We are too afraid to offend that we won’t even send this to our pro choice family
@@michaelbraun7026 Words have meanings. Mean what you say. You spoke as of we are a monolith and only think one way... and your reply backed out of any responsibility for what you already put out into the world.
So I'm learning now 18 years After having an abortion about post-abortion syndrome and it completely explains my mental distress my psychological break my drug abuse and alienation of my family thank you for making me aware of that I still have story to share about my experience when that time comes I'm sure it'll be a great relief the whole world needs to know❤
My mother told me she didn’t want me, because my father was angry she ‘got’ pregnant. She said she tried falling (not sure about this); to rid the pregnancy. This was 1951. She also told me she had a few abortions later on (illegal). From this, I understood her to say if it were legal and easy to get abortions in 1951, I would be one of the millions of unborn children in heaven. I admit I have been angry about this for decades. I am resentful that she felt she could take my life - if possible. I like me, and I’m so glad I’m alive! I was also resentful that she took away a brother or sister that I never had. She was always proud of her abortion stand. I totally disrespected her for this. I thought she was cruel. Decades later, I taught my son about what they really do in the clinic to rid the fetus. He was horrified. At 40 he and his wife were faced with the decision to ‘reduce’ twins in the placenta, to keep another baby safe (triplets). The twins had twin-to-twin syndrome; the other baby was in a sac on her own. The doctors said if the twins survived, they could be severe health issues; or if born early-all three babies would die. He was faced with the decision of aborting the twins, and keeping the single baby intact. In other words, sacrificing the twins to save the sure bet survival of the single baby. He remembered what he knew about abortion procedures, etc. He also was faced with a ‘Sophie’s Choice’-which child would he choose to live or die. His decision (and wife) was to let all the children go the way nature would determine. They did get expert medical care during the pregnancy. The mother did deliver early; all three babies lived. One of the twins has some serious medical conditions - but she is a very happy little girl. The other twin is very healthy, no issues. The single baby is happy and healthy, too. We have to live with his decision, and we are so elated to have all three precious girls. We are working on getting the one twin on the road to recovery with expert pediatricians, nurses, physical therapist, and family. She is such a delight for everyone that knows her. I would tell any woman seeking an abortion to know her right to “choose” is giving life to her child, and giving the baby a chance to live. She will never regret making that choice. Never. It may be difficult at times, but there is a higher power given to mothers that provides strength and courage. Everything will be all right, and there will be supportive people around you. I promise.
You must give people the TOOLS to get through their moments of lust. Preaching abstinence isn't enough and ignores the reality of sexual urges. People need TOOLS, ways to resist...also the Holy Spirit obviously...but they can't just NOT. They need help.
The baby is the result of sins of the flesh , be aware and think of the possibility that this is something that is in your control , be responsable for your actions .A baby is a living feeling human. Good bless you all
Melissa Bohden came to speak at my school and it was moving. She spoke of the process of abortion and it is devastating. She didn’t just talk about the physical aspects, but also the emotional baggage that comes with knowing that your mother tried to abort her. As a society, we look at abortion as a reproductive right or a political problem. No, abortion is not a political issue or a right. It’s a biblical issue, and it’s about morals. I cannot stand for abortion when I know the entire population was once in the womb and developing to become the people they are today. Our constitution gives us the basic human rights given to us by God: LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Life is the first right that anyone possesses. I cannot support abortion when I have the gut feeling in my stomach telling me it’s going against my morals. I respect Melissa Bohden and all other survivors.
I lost my first baby at three months to miscarriage. I was devastated. I just wanted someone to give me a baby. Any baby. I was blessed to go on and have two beautiful baby girls.
This is so dark and I don’t think I can continue to watch. Especially the part with the ex abortion worker describing the parts in the trash 😣💔 my gosh and having 3, 4, 5 procedures!? it really takes a ton of courage to come out and say what you did and went thru… those poor survivors they are so strong. They all are. & I’m glad the regrets change their mind and are content with their families now.
Amen AND there are conseuquences to sin, regardless of forgiveness. People on prison ask for forgiveness and are serving their consequence. Speed...get a ticket. Those are deterrent. What are the consequences for abortion.. 5, 6, 7 abortions. Nothin
I always thought that maybe i was a survivor. My mom literally gave up her rights and left when i was 2. Thank GOD I had my grandparents and my dad fought for me. My mother threw in the towel on visitation when i was in 2nd/3rd grade. My dads ex girlfriend had an abortion on my older sibling at 16 weeks. My dad didnt want it, she did. I think if it werent for my dad, i would not be here and have my 5 beautiful children. But there is a note my dad has always kept away from me, but he keeps it. All i know is that its about me. And its something bad. Lord help these babies and women 🙏🏻
I was drugged, taken to the clinic, my parents lied about my age, I was 18 and my parents said I was under 18. I told the nurses and doctor I didn't want it. They held me down and did it anyway.
Update my mom looked at me and said she never killed a baby. Then she said that nowhere in the United States is there abortions happening on full term pregnancies and called that a conspiracy theory
My daughter was pregnant at age 13. I was mad, embarrassed, hurt, because I felt we were close and shared everything. Many felt she was too young to carry a baby. I consulted with a wise friend and she simply asked me, "What do you thing about abortion?" I said, " I feel it's wrong," and she said, "You got your answer." Like the lady said below, we went home and faced the music! That friend passed away a few years ago, I spoke at her funeral and told how I could have wiped out generations of my family. My granddaughter has been the love of our lives and is now a Mother, my daughter is a Grandmother and I am a Great Grandmother! Ladies our biggest fear is the shame! But let it go, it is what it is, learn to love yourself 1st, and that baby will bring your soooo much through out your life! It's not easy, but you will be ok!
These Ladies are so courages to talk about this Holocaust of the unborn. Thank you, we have to hear you journey. God bless and know you all are so worth it ❤
Man to hear the abortion survivors be so kind and gracious to the abortion regretters was SOOOOO powerful!! If the world had more of this we would in be in such a better place.
@SydtheSquid112 you better mind your tongue. If you do not have self-respect, you will not respect God and others... Why are you so bitter?...don't take your anger out on God why don't you fall down on your knees and repent and ask God to forgive you and invite Him into your life...that's the only way that you will be able to fill the void in your life...don't try and blame God for things that you are responsible for...
@E-Buzz7E-Buzz7 I don't believe in your God so I don't care if I disrespect it or not. The idea that any all powerful deity would allow some babies to die but spare others is a super hard cope if you ask me. So let's be honest here, the abortion survivors simply got lucky.
To the women who have had abortion, those who have practiced abortion, those who participated to it, and the survivors of abortion call on the Name of JESUS CHRIST. you ll be saved, forgiven, healed. You ll find purpose, hope, love, joy, and peace in Him alone. JESUS loves you all. Bless you
Something I never see pro choice people talk about is the amount of young women that are coerced into abortion by their parents or boyfriends… I know 3 women this has happened too
I had an abortion at 17. I was pressured by almost everyone close to me. Not just because it was the easier way out at the time, but they literally convinced me that it was the most humane option. Obviously thats not true. I've been living in regret and a deep depression ever since (about two years). Everything about it was awful. So much information about the procedure, about the pain, everything was left out by the clinic and online.
This happens all too often and the real issue is the lack of responsibility by the partner and the parents to support the young woman, it’s become too easy to leave a woman on her own with a small child and very normalised. so the women feel as if they have no other choice, there needs to be more support for women who want to keep their babies and men should be not allowed to just run away from that responsibility without consequence
@ yes exactly I was lucky when I got unexpectedly pregnant at 20 my parents helped me out and my boyfriend wanted me to keep him but a lot of women don’t have that unfortunately
My heart breaks for all the babies that were murdered!!!! I just can't understand why any woman would want or have the heart to do this. It is just so very sad 😭....Thank you, ladies, for sharing your stories it means the world ❤
I remember whenever I unfortunately had my first abortion a worker said because I was further along than they thought, I would have to pay 300 more dollars. At that point I started questioning them why and crying because something didn’t feel right. I remember looking that lady into the eyes and asking her is it a baby yet.. I was 18 and clueless. I thought they were a doctors office and they wouldn’t lie to me… on the ultrasound she didn’t push the screen away from me quick enough and I got a glimpse of my babies hands and feet for a split second. Back then they didn’t show you your baby on the ultrasound cause then you would probably change your mind. I asked her what was that? I could have sworn I saw hands and feet and she told me no I didn’t…there was nothing formed yet…but now that my eyes are opened I know that was my poor baby…😭That lady looked me straight in the eyes and told me it’s not a baby over and over again. It’s not even formed yet. Something in me knew I was doing something wrong but I was scared, confused, young and lied too. She ended up convincing me to go along with murdering my baby. After that my life spiraled into depression and I became a heroin addict. I sadly ended up getting pregnant again a year or two after that and I had another abortion that I sadly don’t really remember because I was so high.. It wasn’t until I gave my life to Christ is when I started realizing I killed my babies… 😭God is still healing me but let me tell all you mothers out there that had abortions just like me and you can’t come to grips with what you did.. you can’t even forgive yourself because you don’t feel like you should be forgiven.. there is forgiveness and healing in Jesus Christ. Do we deserve it? no but that’s how much God loves you and wants to set you free from your sin and from your pain. I pray that God meets with you today and begins to heal you the way he has healed me. Now when I go out and street preach I let the world know just how horrible abortion is and there is a better way and that’s through Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and the only way to get to heaven and one day I’ll see my babies in heaven thanks to Jesus. ❤️🩹
Thank you to all of these courageous women for being willing to tell their stories and to offer forgiveness and be honest - it's powerful to see and I pray that the Lord continues to use their testimonies to help other women, children and fathers.
I had no idea so many so called "termination/aborted" babies were actually born alive. I still pray every night for forgiveness. I too was young and didn't know the consequences of my actions. I still see children in my older years and I grieve and have depression to this day. I have no children and can no longer have them, I can only ask for forgiveness. 🙏🏻Jesus Forgive me.😥 God Bless those ladies for their testimony on both sides of the table it is a heartbreaking thing to go through either way.
I was advised by doctors to go for termination due on medical ground but i defied now my son is going to be 20 he's normal and healthy. Praise & Thanks be to my Lord Jesus Christ 🙏
I was 17 when I got pregnant. No car, license, job, and still in high school. My stepmom who my dad always sided with, told me if I didn't have an abortion that she would pay for, I could not live in their house. My mother cried for 4 days and told me to get an abortion. Everyone, litterly, everyone told me I ruined my life.
Even at 17, I KNEW I couldn't abort my baby. I always knew it was a baby. I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Once I made my decision, my mom tried to talk me into adopting her out to a friend of hers who couldn't have children. I refused. The dad was around and helped but he still went off and partying, lying, and tried to cheat on me. My stepmom and dad kicked me out of the house while pregnant, so I stayed with the dad of the baby and grandma (his mom). I graduated a year early, 1 month before her birth by going through a special program through the local college (so lucky they had that for ppl like me or ppl behind in school). I graduated from my home high school a year early. My mom let me and the dad stay with her for 3 months after my baby was born. We got a duplex in the ghetto and broke up after he had an affair on me with a married woman at home depot where he was working. I worked as much as I could. Worked hard with no skills living in a two bedroom trailer with my best friend at the time I got close to at work. I met my husband at 23 and went to college. Got my degree, married in punta cana on the beach, bought a beautiful house and had two more kids. The dad is still involved, but that baby is now 15 years old and just got her first job and is learning how to drive.
All this to say, I didn't ruin my life. You will still meet a good guy who will love your child as their own, you can still go to college, you can still make a beautiful life if you want it enough to work hard for it. She was the best baby, and sweetest toddler/kid, and as a teen, she's not so bad 😂 she taught me unconditional love and I would die for her. I thank God he gave me the strength to beat the odds and not cave to everyone around me.
I love your story. 😊 Every baby is a blessing. My sister also got pregnant in High school, and my sister had similar problems with the dad. But everyone is happy and healthy now, I can’t imagine life without my niece. Who just turned 22! We need to love these children, they are not burdens.
God Bless! You should be on the panel because it is possible. And I’m sorry that your dad at the time could not have been more understanding. But I also know it was a different time. I know how that happens. I was 16 when I first got pregnant and my mom knew right away. She wanted me to have an abortion and I ultimately said no, but I ended up miscarrying anyway, and that was God‘s decision. I have a beautiful daughter now who is 28 and two grandchildren. Life is good. It’s not always easy but us women always seem to manage! Take care and thank you for sharing your beautiful story. 🙏🏽♥️💯
God bless you. You are beautiful.
Your story brought me to tears, truly beautiful. You hold so much strength,grace, and beauty! You are a superhero and your children are blessed to have you. God bless you and your family 💗
My story is very similar. I was being forced by my parent too! I was 16 amd pregnant. The dad stood by me and we did marry. We divorced many years later and I remarried. I had my child back in 87. He has given me 4 grandchildren. I was never blessed with any more children . Having my son was the best thing that ever happened to me. As young as I was...He was 100% wanted!

I just googled "post abortion syndrome," and all of the articles were questioning whether it even exists. The evil of the pro abortion side apparently knows no bounds.
Yup
It is very real. To deny that mothers don't feel a lifetime of regret, grief, despair after they've lost their children forever...when the cause of the death is abortion...is truly gaslighting.
Every woman I know who has CPTSD had abortions.
Wow!!! That's crazy
90% of women who have had an abortion have some sort of mental trauma/disorder. Whether it is depression, anxiety, eta. That statistic was back when I researched it for a paper in high school only a few years later in college when I researched it again they dropped the number to 80%. These statistics were on abortion websites. Idk what they have it as now. Knowing that abortion clinics lie I think the actual numbers would be closer to 98% or more of women have some sort of mental trauma after an abortion.
I should be a father. 22 years ago, when I and my girlfriend were just 17, we were pushed by our direct environment to abort our baby. I wish, still every day, that I would have stepped up, but I didn't. And that is somethig I have to live with every day.
The girlfriend from back then has a beautiful daugther rigth now, so God bless her. Me, I am a 39 year old drunk (not looking for your sympathy tho, it's all my choice)
In the abortion question, people often forget the men.
Just my two cents.
I'm the same age, and childless but a woman. I've never experienced this before, but your comment provoked a deep pain within me. I know you're not looking for sympathy, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers, thank you for contributing to this discussion. Including the fathers is so important. 💯
I'm sorry, I truly hope you receive the healing you need. You are so right that men are often forgotten in this, but their feelings do matter and should be recognized and talked about.
Thank you for sharing your story. I was conceived through IVF and was the only survivor from among the 9 of us that were conceived.
As a man myself, I have been told many times to stay silent about the children being killed through abortion. We mustn’t listen to these people.
We must speak the truth even louder, that abortion is never okay!
There are many sins I have committed in my past, know that God wants to forgive all.
We can trust Our Lord that He Loves us, and we can have hope that we will see our family members again.
Lord please help this man turn from sinful drinking and turn towards your face and pick up his life and serve you. Give him Life Father
Totally you could of raised that child, your child, I hate the way fathers have no rights.
This was so therapeutic. I was balling as I listened. Would be nice to hear from the fathers of these precious babies. I feel we do not account for the grief they also have to endure. Thanks again to all these wonderful ladies. God bless you
Especially the fathers who do not want the mother to get the abortion and she does it anyway.
There's a heart wrenching video of a young man at an abortion clinic screaming and bawling as he pleads with the mother of his child to not go through with it. And when the doors close behind her and he is left outside inconsolable, it will shatter your heart as he cries out "I'm such a good dad! I'm such a good dad!" as he already has a child with this woman.
@@SquirtlePower809 so heartbreaking 💔.
Look up a story it's been told on this channel im sure of a guy who advocates for his daughter killed aborted called clementine it's heart breaking men aren't included enough on these convos I don't get why tbh
I want to hear another episode with the men.
I used to be pro life personally, but pro-choice for others. These interviews have had me crying for days and I have completely converted to staunchly pro-life under all circumstances. I can’t even wrap my mind around how evil the abortion industry is. It’s so much more diabolical than I could have ever imagined.
I follow abolitionist rising channel. I've not been pro choice for a long time. Abolitionist are more than pro life and expose how many conservatives aren't very pro life. I'm am abolitionist
Same, I was pro life for myself but pro choice for others, coz I didn’t want to judge or it’s non of my business…. But how can we think, I would never kill but I’m ok with other people killing! I’m pro life all the way around…. Coz there is no excuse for an abortion!theres plenty of contraceptives that work, there’s plenty of resources to give birth and put up for an adoption….but no, there is never good enough reason to kill a baby
I’m still pro choice, although I myself could never have an abortion.
I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT condone using law to force a woman to gestate against her will.
What we need to do is support women so they don’t see abortion as a “solution” - give them much better actual solutions!
What I can’t understand is why people who say they care so much about abortion don’t do everything possible to mitigate the reasons women get abortions.
It’s been shown that the places with lower abortion rates aren’t the ones with bans, they’re the places with strong social economic safety nets.
Why aren’t people who want fewer abortions fighting to create a society where *everyone* has accessible, affordable, publicly funded healthcare as a right?
Why don’t anti-choice people fight for widely accessible, affordable publicly funded birth control and family planning?
Why don’t anti-choice people fight for publicly funded higher education, job protections for pregnant women, family leave acts?
I’m firmly on the political left. I don’t want a dog-eat-dog society where everyone is left to their own devices, I want a society where we all pitch in and take care of each other.
I am a high earner with no children (and no abortions - I could never do that) so my taxes are pretty high already, but I absolutely wouldn’t object to paying more taxes to set up all the programs I mentioned above, which by the way, all exist in many other countries.
What I can’t do is insist on seeing women in financial distress, devoid of hope, facing so many challenges, and then judge her for what she does when there’s one more situation that will create even more hardship.
Everyone who makes the choice to prohibit women from getting abortions has to live with the responsibility of that decision. We can’t just force gestation and birth onto others, then walk away feeling righteous. We need to do a lot more than that.
People who insist on passing abortion bans which don’t work to lower abortion rates while impeding implementation of social programs that do lower abortion rates are part of the problem - not the solution.
@@maargenbx1454 there is plenty of resources for women who can’t afford to have a baby, PLENTY!!! And pro life people donate to those resources!
We don’t kill our existing kids when we have financial problems, why do we think it’s ok to kill the ones that are most vulnerable? And this is not about judging women! We don’t judge the ones who get abortions, we want them to see what abortion actually is,that it’s not a clamp of cells and biological dispose, these are babies! Most women don’t even know what abortion actually is, they are mislead, and we can see that in this video! Instead of promoting abortion, What I would suggest, why not make birth control more affordable for women, like IUD for example or any other…. That way there would be MUCH LESS abortion ! What kind of society are we if we are ok with killing unborn/unprotected children?
Also, our taxes are already pretty high and everyone in this country should have resources they need, but our governments choose to fund wars in other countries instead of taking care of their people… but that’s a slightly different topic
@@maargenbx1454violently murdering a defenseless baby is never the answer. Your ideas harm society.
My ex wanted me to have an about at 5/6 months pregnant. It still traumatizes me just the thoughts alone. I felt like I was literally in hell. Like I’d rather die that live with that. She was already kicking at that point. I already had a name. I already loved her. She’s 8 wks now 🩷
Thank God she's here...good on you!
I am not religious but Bless You.

Bless you for protecting your baby and giving her life ❤
She’s nine months and eight weeks, actually! As you knew well, life began in your womb at conception ❤ I’m so glad you gave her life ❤
These women are so good to let their grief and wrestling be public. Praying that minds and hearts will be opened to see how infinitely important each person is🤍
A mother's womb should be the safest place in the world. Thank you for your stories! How courageous.
For black people in the US, it is the least safe place. How sad.
@best5345 how? Americans don't suffer from oppression, no matter the race, they literally have so many rights many other countries don't.
@@hayley718 Planned Parenthood often targets blacks and black communities (due to what black culture has devolved to), and planned parenthood was originally established to control the growth of the black race in America.
@@hayley718 a black baby in is US has more chances to be aborted than to be born. This is my point.
My point is not that other races don't struggle. But that the brainwashing of PP has outreached the black community, so much that a black mother's womb is the least safe place for a black baby.
@@hayley718 thanks to PP a black kid has less chance to be born alive.
This series “Face to Face” about abortion is the most powerful pro-life message I’ve ever heard 💔
Yess!! Good eye you have !
Whats pro life about denying women medical care. In a failed miscarriage you need to suck out the rest of the cells (aka abortion) otherwise you die from infection like Amber Thurman. Her death was not very "pro-life"

It's a mother's job to protect her babies.
And a father’s too, I would fight to the death to protect my children
@ksw501 Bless you for that selfless thought, selfless action, and for saying this.
If you weren't ready to be a mother but consented, you are still a mother.
If you did not consent, that is why it is such a heinous and devastating crime. You are still a mother though.
If we don't value and protect life, how can we justify valuing and protecting ourselves?
Sincerely,
A female CSA+ survivor
Then why do they bring them into a world full of death and misery?
@@Leesoldier12 Welcome to religion, and believing that life is a test of sorts. Otherwise if we live as animals, then children are simply byproducts of what makes us feel good. Take your pick.
I used to be a nanny and housekeeper. Every family I worked with besides 1 had suffered at least 1 miscarriage and the grief was real, little framed ultrasounds, angel placards, and graves. One family, both parents were having issues with autoimmune complications, and they had 9 miscarriages, 9 lost children, 1 while I was working for them.
I walked in on the wife while one of her family members was on the phone telling her she should just get over it because it wasn't even a baby yet. She started screaming sobbing, I was so taken aback by how someone could say something so cruel to someone, so I walked over and grabbed the phone and hung up and sat her down and just hugged her and let her cry until she fell asleep. Once she fell asleep I just went out in the hall and cried. Cried for the couple desperate to be parents, for the loss of life, for the callous nature of our society. I will never support abortion. The loss of human life is a gut punch every time.
You right our society has become so callous!! Th abortion mill is a death cult!! Young women walking out of the clinics have died a little bit inside!!
People who don't care about unborn baby seem heartless and they only care about their selfish decision on how to get rid of problems in the easiest way. 😢
Love your heart and wisdom. Your empathy is real and what you experienced through the pain of others you knew. Glad they had you
Thank you for being there for her.
I love hearing stories of people being good, decent humans to each other like you were to her
I'm not a particularly religious but I find the abortion agenda to be vile and disgusting. As a father of two boys, I dispise men who suggest or coerce their female companions to dispose of their children. As a man I'm not supposed to be allowed to have an opinion on this topic, buti find abortion to be atrocious. If a woman can't keep the child for whatever reason, please willing and lovingly carry the baby to term and put the baby up for adoption. No matter the circumstances mothers aren't supposed to destroy their young
It is so important to have strong pro-life men! I hope you teach your boys to be pro-life and to see the inherent value of every human life.
And you have every right to have an opinion on abortion because it takes a woman AND a man to make a baby. It always gladdens my heart to see men standing up for life, you're the protector of your family, and by default- a protector of life.
Be sure that your children know you love them, and as they grow be sure to let them know that any children they bring into this world will be loved too!
@@faithoreilly i will never for them to be involved in an abortion with my knowledge. caring for that child or giving it up for adoption are the only answers. abortion is never a solution.
the first thing you have to teach them is not get a woman pregnant unless they are hopefully married, or atleast in a committed relationship.
my wife and i were married 7 years before we had mathew (our 13 year old). we are still married, just had our 20th anniversary. that's another important thing, that the boys see their parents still together and usually happy (nothing is perfect) after 20 years. the abortion nonsense has also been fueled by dissolving the nuclear family structure in our country. somehow "hookup" culture is considered "normal", it shouldn't be.
i also think it's part of a sick agenda. push abortion, homosexuality, and this transgender lie and what do you have, the reduction of the American population (particularly white people). bring in illegal immigrants, make them citizens outside of the normal process and what do you end up with? american citizens being minorities in our own country, they bring customs in that are not compatible with our own. what we will end up with if this doesn't stop wont end well.
im disgusted with the direction this country is heading. it's all bad. vote trump
I agree that adoption should always be the best choice
@@CarlitaS12377 i was adopted at birth myself. my adoptive mother is one of those "my body my choice" supporting morons. we no longer talk. i cannot stand on the same political side as her, and her logic escapes me as she adopted me
@@andrewdonohue1853 Thanks for sharing. My dad was also adopted at birth. I also don't understand the whole my body my choice argument either. What about the unborn baby's choice? That's never considered or thought about.
I know many won’t believe in this statement (and it isn’t up for debate with me if you don’t believe), but God is a healer. The only way to heal properly is to cast your grief and cares on him. Then repent for the sin of murder, and accept that God has forgiven you. Then you can begin to forgive yourself. If you are a believer & saved, you will meet your babies again in Heaven. Praying for everyone because I understand what that pain feels like. 🙏🏽❤️
@just_shaeee I believe in the Statement. You are right ,God is a Healer. Anka from Canada 🇨🇦
It's not just believers and being saved. Part of God's Plan is organizing us into families to care for each other in this life and the next. We cannot change our parents, nor our children, and are bound to each other in that regard. We will face them on the other side, and part of Judgement will be how we manifested our faith in fulfilling our familial duties. And as a survivor of CSA+, courtesy of my parents? I am not looking forward to being stuck with them for eternity. Forgiveness doesn't erase what they stole from me, nor can I separate from the fact they also gave me life and am considered a blessing to them.
It's messed up, from our mortal perspective. All I can hope and pray for is justice and that we won't be working with them forever. No matter what I do, according to Christian theology I am damned. Hell and eternal torment if I sin or revel against the Word, or if I follow Christ and somehow obtain Heaven, then it's being surrounded by happy families while dealing with mine.
🙏 ✝
@@Undomaranel Forgive me if I'm assuming too much, but it sounds to me like you've been raised LDS. If that's the case, I would like to gently encourage you to look at other denominations, religions, or even step back from religion as a whole if that's where your heart is. There is no god worth worshipping and praising that would sentence a victim to an eternity with their abusers. That is not loving, nor is it forgiving, kind, and perfect. It is evil.
@@just-a-generic-username That's Christian theology. I've done my research fam, far more than just LDS. That's Biblical. Why else do you think Christ expects us to forgive seventy times seven without exception, especially those who betray you? Why do you think He set that example for us at His end with Judas and Peter? Because God knew we would have to endure eternity among people, be it in Hell or Heaven, who did us dirty. The only thing keeping us worthy then will be how we respond, and the best training for that is mortality where we know we can have forgiveness if repentance is sincere. Even media depictions of Heaven joke about conflicts, be it Tom and Jerry to the Simpsons.
Ultimately the only person you can control is yourself, and moving past mortal strife is kind of the whole point of Christian theology... more so when titles like mother and father are forever. And no, as much as that church would want to claim it, the honor of being a mother and father is far more than some temple covenant or ritual, as immortalized in the Ten Commandments and before that with Adam and Eve. We WILL face those we lived among during life. We WILL be judged on how we treated them. They WILL be judged on how they treated us. And each of us will be held accountable for any ill will or fear we held onto rather than turning our pain over and allowing forgiveness and love to transform us.
Don't believe me? Go ask anyone in clergy. This is a "pearls before swine" teaching that's often buried due to it being unpopular, a "milk before meat" deal. But it's there baked into the doctrine by the religion's own Savior and God. Heaven isn't just some paradise and rest where you're alone, the New Testament speaks of rooms prepared in the mansions of God for everyone who makes it... aka your neighbors. And if you don't love your neighbor as you are commanded to love yourself? If you don't forgive them for their human faults? If you can't restore the broken family torn apart by human temptations? Then you will not be a good neighbor in Heaven's mansions. You will be lukewarm and spat out. It's all there for those with ears to hear. And for the Mormon perspective, pray about it and see what the Holy Ghost confirms to you. Why else did God still communicate with David and Solomon despite the disgusting murder and sex and lies and deception and weaponizing innocent people? Because to Him sex and murder are animal things. They're only unforgivable in the sense that you permanently affect other's lives and steal that from God. Other than that, they're just more expected sins that we are supposed to learn how to overcome... and if you still don't believe that reread Elijah and Elisha, Jeremiah, and the Apostles among the Gentiles. It's all there, abhorrent as it is to our mortal bodies to realize.
You two ladies are active miracles. I hope you know, everytime I see you, THAT'S my 1st thought. Miracle. Walking miracle that bring me joy.
Abortion survivors are Gods direct way of giving us the opportunity to see our flaws,and the pain we've inflicted upon the innocent. The choice to choose change is the blessing, and the reward for choosing life is salvation! 💝
I was instructed that I should terminate my pregnancy twice throughout the pregnancy due to my child's medical diagnosis. I prayed and prayed for protection over my child, a perfect birth later and some slight medical accomodations and here my baby is today growing running and playing just as any child does.
Sharing stories like these women are doing here saves not only the innocent lives of the babies, but the lives and souls of the mothers as well. Thank you to these brave woman for sharing🙏✨💞
Blessings to the woman in need fearing for the life of her and her baby, make it known they are loved❤
These survivors are Gods way of showing us that these unborn babies are human beings….. and telling us that abortion is a sin.
My mother was 18, she already had two little girls, one was 7 months old, the other was three. My grandmother who had an abortion with twins in the 1940's with no guilt even though she was married, demanded that my mother have an abortion or she would kick her out. She found a doctor, made the appointment but my mother begged not to go through with it. She won! My infant older sister weighed 10 pounds so because my mother had a large belly and a young doctor, neither realized she was actually pregnant with twins! My twin and I were born 6 weeks early at 5 lb 7 oz and 5 lb 11 oz. I'm glad my mother chose life!
This conversation is so painful to listen to. Yet so important.
I'm a Registered Nurse. I took care of a mother at a small town Arizona hospital where I worked as a travel nurse. I was working on a regular Medical/Surgical floor. This woman came in who had had some type of abortion requiring a medication to be inserted vaginally, but she had changed her mind and come into the ER late at night. They put her in one of the beds on my unit stating she was approx 19 wks 6 days, and she wasn't eligible to go to the Labor and Deliver unit until 20 weeks (I thought that's dumb, it's close enough, plus I didn't know much about caring for pregnant patients). She had a bad infection, and I was told we were just treating her for the infection and she was likely to finish the abortion since she had taken some, even if it wasn't all, of the vaginal inserts. She started having labor pains and crying saying she wanted to save the baby. I called her admitting doctor requesting she at least be transferred to the maternity ward, but he said "She's already a single mother of 4 with a history of drug addiction. Since she wanted an abortion in the first place just let her have it" and hung up on me. I wasn't sure what to do. I called a maternity nurse to come check her, and the baby still had a strong heartbeat, and she was only a couple centimeters dilated. I called the doctor back and informed him of these things and demanded he give me orders to transfer her, stop labor, and sustain the pregnancy as she was trying to save her baby, that how many kids she had or a history of drug use had absolutely no bearing at this time, and I would make a lot of trouble in this small town for him in a legal sense and in a sense of making it difficult publicly for him in that small town by making sure folks knew of his lack of professionalism and compassion for his patients. He sighed, cussed, and did what I asked. When she would have been about 7 months I saw her at a store and she looked to still be pregnant. It's been 20 years and I still wonder If the baby was okay. Listening to you all talk has encouraged me in my hopes that the child survived and had no permanent damage. At least I pray that's the case. Thanks for reading this long comment. Sorry but just wanted to say something that was on my mind for a while.
Her choice she has to live with it
God bless you ❤❤❤❤
Bless you ❤
Abortion survivers should speak more!!!
They represent all the unwanted babies who dont have a voice, because it is being taken away, but they have a right to livge just like everyone else!!!
The industry wants to silence you, say you were a mistake because "you should have died" ,but it just the opposite, you deserve to live and are just as valuable!!
And anyone who says you are not is showing how souless they are
And the voice of young mothers! My mother had me at 17. She was told by many to abort. I am thankful to be alive and my life is good! I thank her and love her so much for giving me a chance. And it’s SO invalidating to hear people say that, given my mother’s circumstances, I should have been unalived. People have no clue.
The woman who survived the saline solution abortion was likely the same gestational age as the baby boy currently in my belly. I broke down crying just imagining him enduring that kind of torture at 31 weeks old.
He’s already head down and so strong. My belly is so big. My heart breaks for her and her birth mother.
My boys were born at 30+2 and 31+3, and when each was born, he was a baby. They were obviously both smaller than full term babies, but both latched onto my breasts almost immediately. Both were soothed by my scent and calmed while in my arms, as they were the only, “home” they’d known. Both of my boys focused on my face while I held them and both searched for me when I needed to set him down. Once came home at 6 weeks and the other at only 4 weeks post birth. Today, they are 8 and 9 years old and both play for elite ice hockey teams and travel across the country showcasing their natural talent. My younger son was tested at 6 and determined to be PROFOUNDLY gifted, while the other tested as HIGHLY gifted. They both excel at whatever they set their minds out to do. Both of my boys have always sought out the child playing alone and would play alongside him or her, (when toddlers) or encourage him or her to play along with them, (from about age 4 on). They are extremely kind, thoughtful, responsible, diligent, generous and affectionate.
Being born a bit early had zero impact on either one long term.
A baby in utero who is 30 weeks old is just as much a baby who is born at 40 weeks.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and for the life growing within who IS a baby. A whole human who I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to bring into this world.
You’re already a wonderful mother.
@@jessmcnulty3043 Thank you so much. As mothers, it is not our choice to decide whether they live or die. While pregnant, we are just temporary custodians and vessels for their development. The uterus is the only organ in our bodies that was not designed for our use, but instead for the generation that will follow us. As mothers, we should be their first line of defense and advocates. The culture is wrong right now, but I know the truth will prevail and good will reign supreme once more.
The first battleground is not a political one, but a fight to win hearts and minds. Abortion will have to be considered reprehensible and out of the question before we can make it completely abolished.
Lila is literally doing God's work!
May God bless all these women and strengthen them!
These talks are exactly what we need in this world. What a wonderful idea. Keep doing this.
I have two children, and am currently pregnant with my 3rd. This is so hard to listen to. Thank God for those born alive, the sweet angels that survived this horrific act of brutality. I pray for healing for all who’ve been affected by this “choice”. May those who have done this, ask the lord to open your heart and minds to ask for forgiveness and healing.
I stand in agreement with you, in Jesus name! Amen!
i'm 52, i birthed 3 children, and still the emotions don't change. it's so hard to hear this stuff.
I had a baby at 19 who was adopted. I still get to see him and hang out with him. However I cry daily and struggle to be around children. I feel a deep sense of guilt and shame for not being able to raise the baby. Even though I know I was unable to care for myself at the time.
I can only imagine the mental torment these women are dealing with. I wish all of them the best at a mental recovery.
At 19, you were still a kid. And you did what was best for your child. You didn't know any better.
So there's no shame in that. It's time to move on.
A special blessing to you for giving him the chance to live. You had courage, and did the right thing. Of course you had a real loss; however, in the long run it was a big gain. For him, first. You made the sacrifice, and you will never have to look yourself in the mirror knowing you ‘chose’ to end a life. God bless you, and I hope you gain strength in knowing you did the right thing.
It’s so hard to understand that God loves us when we don’t love ourselves. Keep praying that Jesus helps you see his love GBY
So much tragedy. Women seem so manipulated. But why on earth can't we people in the church come along side these pregnant young moms? Can we do nothing to strengthen their resolve?
@@micheleh5269Their beliefs don't align with their actions. It's not what the Bible teaches.
I have listened to about three of these discussions. They are so raw and eye openi g and important to hear these personal experiences.

I know. .was just normal to us too as teens..u think up to a 3 months it's ok etc...young girls a few friends of mine had abortions...just like taking the morning after pill it was that easy it seemed too
@tashaax1993xanimalloverx I took a plan B once since I was not ready for kids 11 months apart. I was married but really young. I was trying to get my head around 1 baby and did not want another! I remember bleeding so much afterwards. I was told that later, by my OB, that was a sign it worked. I was shocked and sad at the same time. It did what it was supposed to do. I have 3 boys now but I always think about what that child would look like or be. 🥺
I just want to say thank you to Live Action for doing all these conversations face to face. I can understand better their experiences and I can learn a lot from them. God bless all these women and doctors
This is so dark.😮but important ❤
I just... I just cannot listen to the pro-abortion ads on videos without feeling absolute disgust. This breaks my heart. I don't have a right as a woman to do this. I never want the so-called "right" to do this.
But these videos are so important. There is forgiveness and restoration through Jesus Christ. I pray more abortion providers and women who regret abortion will be saved and healed. I pray salvation and healing over survivors. May abortion be exposed and brought to an end.
Beautifully put, my sister. You speak the striking truth, abortion is the shameful murder of babies. Nonetheless, the blood of Jesus Christ washes away these sins❤
This is a truth that the “pro choice” movement never tells you. The regret is one of the most horrible things you’ll ever experience😮
@@ConservativeBaddieTV no we very much do. We're pro choice, not pro abortion. We believe it's a decision you should NEVER take lightly. Either way, it will change your life, it's just that one is more likely to ruin you financially and socially, and the other may leave you with guilt.
Abortion is a HUGE decision, which is why planned Parenthood offers counseling before, during, and after your decision -whatever it may be. ❤
@@NerdAlert42oh please stop with the lies, the Choice is nothing else but abortion, who are you lying to? “Pro choice” is a euphemism because none of you are actually for even stating explicitly what it is you are “pro choice” for, killing babies, which is very telling. The lady in the grey is very refreshing to listen to because she doesn’t beat around the bush nor try to sanitize her language of what is it that really happened to her babies.

🫂❤ My friend, There is forgiveness at the Cross of Jesus Christ. Please cast your shame, guilt and worry on him ❤
God forgives you ❤ W Pro Life!
You are forgiven. Your son (or daughter) is safe in heaven. You will see him or her one day, and know the joy. Because you are sorry, and want forgiveness-you will have it. Jesus said to his apostles, “Suffer not the Children to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of Heaven. He was saying to his apostles to let the children come talk to him, when they were crowded around him. The apostles thought only mature (understanding) people should be near him. However, he explained that in heaven, there are far more innocent children in heaven than mature people. Take comfort in knowing you will be with them someday. In a happier place.
I'm 15 weeks pregnant, and my boyfriend and I were not expecting the baby, I was so scared after finding out and we are not even in the financial position to fully care for the baby... But the love we have for him or her is so much that we can't even fathom how someone who want to kill an innocent human. We're doing our best and working hard to prepare for our child's arrival and future. No child is a mistake. May God bless you ladies for speaking out on this issue.
I hope you give birth to a healthy baby.
May your baby be healthy and your burdens be light. God bless!😊

Congratulations. There is a saying "life is what happens when we are making other plans". Sometimes the best things in life are unplanned.
My most joyous moments were the birth of my kids. All 3 were technically 'unplanned', and very wanted.
My mother was on her way to import me when my grandmother who had actually been the one to make the appointment ironically turn the car around and that’s why I’m here today I would like everyone to know that my grandmother was actually wonderful woman
God made that happen 🩷 God blessed you
Melissa’s live is a precious gift! She is such a hero. It’s horrible to imagine how many like her are killed.
I hope these mama’s take comfort in knowing their babies although they didn’t get to live the life they were supposed to, they were raised in Heaven. With no pain. No suffering. Only joy. & they are waiting for you to come home to meet them face to face ♥️✝️ Glory to God.
Thank you for this comment ❤
I needed to see this. A family member of mine is an abortion survivor and her mother has loved her every single day. She is the biggest blessing of our entire family and I cannot imagine our lives without her. I hope she never finds out that she survived an abortion, because knowing that it could make her question her worth, or her "right" to exist would be horrible. No one has ever regretted her being with us. She has been treasured and loved dearly, and I am SO glad that she fought to survive. Thank you for sharing these stories.
Well she knows subconsciously. It’ll manifest later in life & be like a splinter in her mind. The Truth sets us free. How horrible to try to keep that secret from her for her life. I pray that all Truth gets revealed. People who hide things like that I pray too that the Lord humbles them.
@@Wellness_Rose Thank you for your prayers. I don't think her mom is hiding it out of selfish reasons, though. She is worried that it will make her daughter feel guilty or ashamed to be alive. It's such a difficult situation.
"I'm sad that my children didn't survive... I would give anything to be able to hold them and tell them that I love them and be a part or their lives..."
Millions of lives destroyed by this industry 💔
The worst thing is, she did it 5 times
@@Iamhome365and this is where abolitionists and pro lifers differ. Abolitionists believe in consequences, and pro life sees women as victims who are ignorant and should not have any consequences for murder....no matter how many times. It's interesting, isn't it?

@@npt5982
The problem is that women are gaslit every day by their own doctors, their family members, the media, medical articles, and more to genuinely believe that murder is not taking place.
I believe abortion should be abolished. I do not believe that women who have had abortions should be put in prison unless it can be proven in court that she had the mens rea to commit it.
@@Iamhome365 that is truly hard for me to understand. One time is devastating enough. I couldn't imagine going back over and over again. But our culture says it's fine...at least 40% of post-abortive women have more than one elective abortion. The pro-abortion activists I've heard from will say "have as many as you want, it's birth control!" 😢
They’ve repented! How dare you?? You know how hard it must be to admit their sin openly?? They are living with the condemnation daily mentally, physically and most important spiritually! Per scripture, once they’ve repented, which they have, you have no right to throw it at them! God does not like that per scripture! You all should repent for such wretchedness.
Such a powerful conversation that so many people need to hear.
So incrediblly moving. The love of Jesus that shines in these women bring tears to my eyes. I just want woman to see the horrific truth of abortion so they can find forgiveness if theyve participated in it. As a christian who is publicly prolife, I was told by another christian that I was shaming women by speaking about my prolife stances and implying that "stereotypical evangelicals" like me should not speak out if they havent had abortions. I'm still genuinely shocked when i hear christian women supporting abortion and hearing this conversation stirs up that conviction even more. The pain these women have gone through is tangible and there is absolutely no room in Christianity for this bloody industry.
Gigi i saw your tears. I can see the hurt written on you like words on a page. God still loves you and i hope you find forgiveness and healing in Him.
Such a great series, thanks to everyone involved for doing this.
Wow. What a group powerful and vulnerable young women. They are powerful because they are vulnerable. May God bless you! Your messages are so strong. Thank you for your testimony
This is sooooo heavyyyy.. 😢😢😭😭😭
Thank you ladies for sharing this with us. May God continuously heal your hearts and minds.. ❤❤❤❤❤
My son was born premature at 24 weeks (6 months) weighing less than 2 pounds. He fought as hard as I did for him to LIVE. Hes now 17 with no lasting health problems. Just because a baby is born early doesnt mean theré will be complications or brain damage. My son was in the NICU at the U of Louisville for 3 months. I am blessed and thank Gód everyday for both my kids. ❤
I also find it vile, women that will have an abortion without telling the man and giving him the opportunity to take the baby. She could surrender her rights and give him full custody. There are men who would protect their children
Also, it’s held up as a woman’s right, her body, her choice, but many women are actually pressured into abortion or downright forced by boyfriends, husbands, and their own parents and families! Sure, there might not be many situations in the US where woman are physically restrained and forced onto an operating table (though I’d wager it does happen), but many women are trapped in extreme imbalances of power and are manipulated into thinking they have no choice. A fourteen-year-old whose parents tell her she’s going to have an abortion has very little recourse to refuse, for example. She might not even have access to a phone or the internet, and is completely dependent on her parents. She could run away, but what if she lives in a rural area and has no way to get to a place where she could get help?
As a child I distinctly remember eavesdropping on a conversation between my mother and another woman and that woman said her young daughter had gotten pregnant a decade earlier, and that she’d made her get an abortion. Her tone and the context of the conversation made it very obvious that the decision was made for the daughter by the woman. It was not the girl’s choice regarding her body or between “the girl and her doctor.” The mom unilaterally decided and had it done.
@biblia843 it's despicable that this happens, outside of keeping the baby the only other conversation that should be had is adoption. Adoption needs to be inexpensive and accessible. If you can prove to able to provide a steady income, housing and food should be all that should be required
These videos are so powerful. If you haven't seen the first 2... MUST WATCH!
This made me cry so much. It was so beautiful hearing all of their stories - they are all such strong courageous women. It is so important to bring these stories to the surface and for everyone to hear them, regardless of whether you are pro-abortion or anti-abortion. Gigi’s dream about her eight babies’ hands inside her belly was heartbreaking 💔 God bless all of these beautiful women and their families.
My father is an abortion survivor. I only just found out a few years ago. He never really talks about it and i dont know much about the entire story. But they quietly exist. Everywhere
Praise God he survived!
A beautiful lie saved my life. I was conceived via an extramarital affair, my biological mother was "the other woman". I'm not entirely sure of all the details but my father wanted nothing to do with me so my mother decided to have me killed. The doctor she went to was a Christian man and he told her she was to far along to terminate me but suggested she could adopt me out, which she did. I have lived a wonderful and blessed life i am so grateful to the doctor who saved me from death and to my real parents who raised me and gave me a wonderful life. I am now nearly 40 i am married and have 4 children of my own. I didn't ask to be conceived but i deserved to have this chance. This is very emotional to listen to but I'm glad the conversation is being had.
I needed this cause everyday I cry!!!! Hurt about the decision I made!!
I’m so sorry for your pain! I’m praying for you 💕 do you have a healing place to go to start that journey to knowing that you’re forgiven? Rachel’s Vineyard is a beautiful ministry…
If you are truly sorry; you are truly forgiven. Your child in heaven knows your heart. He or she will see you one day. You will know that joy, of a mother and child together for the first time. As though you gave birth.
@@chinablue2425 We only go to heaven if we have accepted Jesus Christ's atoning work on the cross. Of course, innocent little babies/children do go to heaven when they die.
I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the trauma. Please know there is healing and forgiveness for you in Jesus. He died to forgive you of your sins. Romans 10:9 - "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Hang in there. You will see your baby again one day. ❤ I'm really sorry
Lord have mercy on these women. Forgive us all for our complicity in allowing this genocide to continue! Have mercy on us all! 🙏
Genocide? What makes you believe it’s a genocide?
@@JacobiCoquat It's genocide.
I know of women who had abortions...their live children suffer as the parent lives through the pain.
One of the most beautiful experiences I had during a deliverance meeting was when I woman who had had deliverance, and she has said she had had an abortion. After her deliverance she was caught up to Heaven and held her baby. She was rocking back and forth as she was holding her baby. The Pastor asked her, "Is baby mad?" Her answer was no, baby was not mad. This woman received incredible healing as she held her baby and knowing she would see that baby in Heaven one day.
🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
Blessings to all the Moms who will one day meet their babies.
What an amazing serie Life Action!! So many women who aborted their babies wanted them to survive!! How powerful to hear from these 2 survivors "I forgive you".... post abortive women so much need to hear this! Thank you Melissa and Claire! God bless your good hearth🙏, the suffering you went through have a purpose! Because of this you are the ones who can bring healing and hope to so many 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you ladies for sharing your story. This is where healing begins ❤
You two are so fortunate to be alive! It is a miracle that you survived this!
The saddest part is the people that could be saved by this video will refuse to watch it. The women who need not make the mistake. We are too afraid to offend that we won’t even send this to our pro choice family
Speak for yourself. If you're afraid to share then you are not standing up for what you believe.
@@Undomaranel I’m not afraid to speak out but they don’t listen. Calm down
@@michaelbraun7026 Words have meanings. Mean what you say. You spoke as of we are a monolith and only think one way... and your reply backed out of any responsibility for what you already put out into the world.
@@Undomaranel I said what I mean. I mean most people are too afraid to upset their family. Would you like to say I’m wrong?
@@michaelbraun7026 "Most people" =/= "We"
So I'm learning now 18 years After having an abortion about post-abortion syndrome and it completely explains my mental distress my psychological break my drug abuse and alienation of my family thank you for making me aware of that I still have story to share about my experience when that time comes I'm sure it'll be a great relief the whole world needs to know❤
My mother told me she didn’t want me, because my father was angry she ‘got’ pregnant. She said she tried falling (not sure about this); to rid the pregnancy. This was 1951.
She also told me she had a few abortions later on (illegal). From this, I understood her to say if it were legal and easy to get abortions in 1951, I would be one of the millions of unborn children in heaven.
I admit I have been angry about this for decades. I am resentful that she felt she could take my life - if possible. I like me, and I’m so glad I’m alive! I was also resentful that she took away a brother or sister that I never had.
She was always proud of her abortion stand. I totally disrespected her for this. I thought she was cruel.
Decades later, I taught my son about what they really do in the clinic to rid the fetus. He was horrified.
At 40 he and his wife were faced with the decision to ‘reduce’ twins in the placenta, to keep another baby safe (triplets). The twins had twin-to-twin syndrome; the other baby was in a sac on her own. The doctors said if the twins survived, they could be severe health issues; or if born early-all three babies would die. He was faced with the decision of aborting the twins, and keeping the single baby intact. In other words, sacrificing the twins to save the sure bet survival of the single baby.
He remembered what he knew about abortion procedures, etc. He also was faced with a ‘Sophie’s Choice’-which child would he choose to live or die.
His decision (and wife) was to let all the children go the way nature would determine. They did get expert medical care during the pregnancy. The mother did deliver early; all three babies lived. One of the twins has some serious medical conditions - but she is a very happy little girl. The other twin is very healthy, no issues. The single baby is happy and healthy, too. We have to live with his decision, and we are so elated to have all three precious girls. We are working on getting the one twin on the road to recovery with expert pediatricians, nurses, physical therapist, and family. She is such a delight for everyone that knows her.
I would tell any woman seeking an abortion to know her right to “choose” is giving life to her child, and giving the baby a chance to live. She will never regret making that choice. Never. It may be difficult at times, but there is a higher power given to mothers that provides strength and courage. Everything will be all right, and there will be supportive people around you. I promise.
I believe abstinence should be push more than abortions. You have more control over your body when you practice abstinence.
You must give people the TOOLS to get through their moments of lust. Preaching abstinence isn't enough and ignores the reality of sexual urges. People need TOOLS, ways to resist...also the Holy Spirit obviously...but they can't just NOT. They need help.
@@npt5982 having good role models in their life helps a lot too
The baby is the result of sins of the flesh , be aware and think of the possibility that this is something that is in your control , be responsable for your actions .A baby is a living feeling human. Good bless you all
This is the most important work of our times. Thank you ladies for sharing. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
Amen 🕊🌹🙏
Lila Rose, thank you! God bless You. St. Theresa Avila, pray for us all!
So powerful. Thank you for sharing these stories that so need to be heard.
Thank you all for your testimonys❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This series is incredible, thank you to everyone who has so vulnerably participated and shared their stories. Everyone needs to see this.
Melissa Bohden came to speak at my school and it was moving. She spoke of the process of abortion and it is devastating. She didn’t just talk about the physical aspects, but also the emotional baggage that comes with knowing that your mother tried to abort her. As a society, we look at abortion as a reproductive right or a political problem. No, abortion is not a political issue or a right. It’s a biblical issue, and it’s about morals. I cannot stand for abortion when I know the entire population was once in the womb and developing to become the people they are today. Our constitution gives us the basic human rights given to us by God: LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Life is the first right that anyone possesses. I cannot support abortion when I have the gut feeling in my stomach telling me it’s going against my morals. I respect Melissa Bohden and all other survivors.
I lost my first baby at three months to miscarriage. I was devastated. I just wanted someone to give me a baby. Any baby. I was blessed to go on and have two beautiful baby girls.
This is so dark and I don’t think I can continue to watch. Especially the part with the ex abortion worker describing the parts in the trash 😣💔 my gosh and having 3, 4, 5 procedures!? it really takes a ton of courage to come out and say what you did and went thru… those poor survivors they are so strong. They all are. & I’m glad the regrets change their mind and are content with their families now.
Abortion is NOT the Unpardonable sin. If a person repents and asks God for forgiveness, God WILL forgive and HEAL.
Nah you're screwed lol. Hell awaits them for all eternity
🙏🏻 ❤
No it's god just meant to forgive anyone that has done wrong? Especially baby killers.
Amen AND there are conseuquences to sin, regardless of forgiveness. People on prison ask for forgiveness and are serving their consequence. Speed...get a ticket. Those are deterrent. What are the consequences for abortion..
5, 6, 7 abortions. Nothin
You carry on thinking that if it soothes your consience but one day you will pay for that .😠
I always thought that maybe i was a survivor. My mom literally gave up her rights and left when i was 2. Thank GOD I had my grandparents and my dad fought for me. My mother threw in the towel on visitation when i was in 2nd/3rd grade. My dads ex girlfriend had an abortion on my older sibling at 16 weeks. My dad didnt want it, she did. I think if it werent for my dad, i would not be here and have my 5 beautiful children. But there is a note my dad has always kept away from me, but he keeps it. All i know is that its about me. And its something bad. Lord help these babies and women 🙏🏻
I was drugged, taken to the clinic, my parents lied about my age, I was 18 and my parents said I was under 18. I told the nurses and doctor I didn't want it. They held me down and did it anyway.
That's awful I'm so sorry you went through that 💔
Many girls/women are coerced or forced to have unwanted abortions. You can get help from the Silent No More Awareness Campaign.
I am so very sorry that was done to you and your child.
Update my mom looked at me and said she never killed a baby. Then she said that nowhere in the United States is there abortions happening on full term pregnancies and called that a conspiracy theory
I’m so sorry that happened to you. You are precious!
My daughter was pregnant at age 13. I was mad, embarrassed, hurt, because I felt we were close and shared everything. Many felt she was too young to carry a baby. I consulted with a wise friend and she simply asked me, "What do you thing about abortion?" I said, " I feel it's wrong," and she said, "You got your answer." Like the lady said below, we went home and faced the music! That friend passed away a few years ago, I spoke at her funeral and told how I could have wiped out generations of my family. My granddaughter has been the love of our lives and is now a Mother, my daughter is a Grandmother and I am a Great Grandmother! Ladies our biggest fear is the shame! But let it go, it is what it is, learn to love yourself 1st, and that baby will bring your soooo much through out your life! It's not easy, but you will be ok!
Thank-you all!
Keep sharing!
The world NEEDS your voice!
👏👏👏👏
I am an abortion survivor 🙏 Thank you so much 🙏
Glad you survived!!
@@ButterflyRebekahyes, preserve by God for a purpose 😁🙏✨
These Ladies are so courages to talk about this Holocaust of the unborn. Thank you, we have to hear you journey. God bless and know you all are so worth it ❤
Thank you for sharing this! This is real journalism ❤
Man to hear the abortion survivors be so kind and gracious to the abortion regretters was SOOOOO powerful!! If the world had more of this we would in be in such a better place.
You survived because you had the right to live... God spared your life to help other women....a baby is a blessing from God...
So God spares some people and let's others die? What a piece of shit God
@SydtheSquid112 you better mind your tongue. If you do not have self-respect, you will not respect God and others... Why are you so bitter?...don't take your anger out on God why don't you fall down on your knees and repent and ask God to forgive you and invite Him into your life...that's the only way that you will be able to fill the void in your life...don't try and blame God for things that you are responsible for...
@E-Buzz7E-Buzz7 I don't believe in your God so I don't care if I disrespect it or not. The idea that any all powerful deity would allow some babies to die but spare others is a super hard cope if you ask me. So let's be honest here, the abortion survivors simply got lucky.
It's so important for people to be brave enough and willing to talk about these difficult issues.
To the women who have had abortion, those who have practiced abortion, those who participated to it, and the survivors of abortion call on the Name of JESUS CHRIST. you ll be saved, forgiven, healed. You ll find purpose, hope, love, joy, and peace in Him alone. JESUS loves you all. Bless you
The survivors are so strong to go through these conversations
I wish every pro choicer would watch this, thank you for this, I almost voted yes in MO, I will NEVER vote for pro abortion laws 😢
My body my choice shouldn’t be a valid statement when the choice is murdering innocent babies. I say that as a woman. ✨
I respect that view very much!
Agreed! ❤
As a woman, I feel the same!
@@raelv504 as a man I think I should also have a say in the matter!
@@mattewclubb5882 you need to chill. in what way do you even mean? Keeping it or aborting it?
Oh poor thing 😢 I can feel her pain 😢
Something I never see pro choice people talk about is the amount of young women that are coerced into abortion by their parents or boyfriends… I know 3 women this has happened too
I had an abortion at 17. I was pressured by almost everyone close to me. Not just because it was the easier way out at the time, but they literally convinced me that it was the most humane option. Obviously thats not true. I've been living in regret and a deep depression ever since (about two years). Everything about it was awful. So much information about the procedure, about the pain, everything was left out by the clinic and online.
@ I’m
Sorry you were lied to you deserved better ❤️
This happens all too often and the real issue is the lack of responsibility by the partner and the parents to support the young woman, it’s become too easy to leave a woman on her own with a small child and very normalised. so the women feel as if they have no other choice, there needs to be more support for women who want to keep their babies and men should be not allowed to just run away from that responsibility without consequence
@ yes exactly I was lucky when I got unexpectedly pregnant at 20 my parents helped me out and my boyfriend wanted me to keep him but a lot of women don’t have that unfortunately
This should be translated to all the languages throughout the world. Everyone should hear this story!!
My heart breaks for all the babies that were murdered!!!! I just can't understand why any woman would want or have the heart to do this. It is just so very sad 😭....Thank you, ladies, for sharing your stories it means the world ❤
A truly great group of women, I hope more people can be open and understanding in this way.
This series is incredible
God bless you. You are a miracle from God. So glad you are here with us to share your story. You are loved beyond measure
I remember whenever I unfortunately had my first abortion a worker said because I was further along than they thought, I would have to pay 300 more dollars. At that point I started questioning them why and crying because something didn’t feel right. I remember looking that lady into the eyes and asking her is it a baby yet.. I was 18 and clueless. I thought they were a doctors office and they wouldn’t lie to me… on the ultrasound she didn’t push the screen away from me quick enough and I got a glimpse of my babies hands and feet for a split second. Back then they didn’t show you your baby on the ultrasound cause then you would probably change your mind. I asked her what was that? I could have sworn I saw hands and feet and she told me no I didn’t…there was nothing formed yet…but now that my eyes are opened I know that was my poor baby…😭That lady looked me straight in the eyes and told me it’s not a baby over and over again. It’s not even formed yet. Something in me knew I was doing something wrong but I was scared, confused, young and lied too. She ended up convincing me to go along with murdering my baby. After that my life spiraled into depression and I became a heroin addict. I sadly ended up getting pregnant again a year or two after that and I had another abortion that I sadly don’t really remember because I was so high.. It wasn’t until I gave my life to Christ is when I started realizing I killed my babies… 😭God is still healing me but let me tell all you mothers out there that had abortions just like me and you can’t come to grips with what you did.. you can’t even forgive yourself because you don’t feel like you should be forgiven.. there is forgiveness and healing in Jesus Christ. Do we deserve it? no but that’s how much God loves you and wants to set you free from your sin and from your pain. I pray that God meets with you today and begins to heal you the way he has healed me. Now when I go out and street preach I let the world know just how horrible abortion is and there is a better way and that’s through Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and the only way to get to heaven and one day I’ll see my babies in heaven thanks to Jesus. ❤️🩹
Thank you to all of these courageous women for being willing to tell their stories and to offer forgiveness and be honest - it's powerful to see and I pray that the Lord continues to use their testimonies to help other women, children and fathers.
I had no idea so many so called "termination/aborted" babies were actually born alive. I still pray every night for forgiveness. I too was young and didn't know the consequences of my actions. I still see children in my older years and I grieve and have depression to this day. I have no children and can no longer have them, I can only ask for forgiveness. 🙏🏻Jesus Forgive me.😥 God Bless those ladies for their testimony on both sides of the table it is a heartbreaking thing to go through either way.
These women are so brave to tell their storys. I pray women who are considering abortion see and here these testimonies!! 😢 31:43 😢😢,😢
You guys are doing a great job allowing natural open convos.
I was advised by doctors to go for termination due on medical ground but i defied now my son is going to be 20 he's normal and healthy. Praise & Thanks be to my Lord Jesus Christ 🙏
25:32 This lady has a heart of gold 💛! I thank God she survived.
