Reclaiming Our Children

Ascension Thursday

"While meeting with the them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for “the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

It is hard to wait. I cannot imagine how the disciples felt as Jesus ascended into heaven asking them to stay put and trust that the Holy Spirit would come after Him providing the gifts they needed to spread the Gospel.

It can be like that with  healing from abortion. At times we may feel as though we are moving backwards or that Jesus is gone from us leaving us unable to "feel" His spirit. We may get assailed with temptations, or bouts of despair, we may even feel like we are at the beginning of our healing journey again, but like with the disciples He asks us to stay where we are and to trust in His promise to us.

As we approach the Feast of Pentecost, beginning June 1st, we will be taking a look at the gifts of the Holy Spirit, what they mean in our lives not only in general, but as instruments for healing from abortion.

 

 Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

"If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever-- the Spirit of truth.

..and the truth will set you free....

Extreme Weight Loss

Flipping through the channels last night I came upon Extreme Weight Loss, the show about people with large amounts of weight to lose who work with a personal trainer for a year to try to change their lives.

One of the contestants that the trainer Chris Powell is working with this season is a woman named Charita. As she devles into the reasons for her being overweight, she admits she is an emotional eater and attributes it to an abortion that she had in her past. Like countless women, she has kept the abortion a secret from her family.

During the first episode of the show, she decides to free herself from this secret and tell her parents who are Christians, about her abortion ten years prior. She admits there really was no real reason she could not have gone to them when she found herself pregnant except that she was ashamed and decided to handle it herself as many teens do not recognizes the impact it will have on their lives.

You can see her mom begin to cry when she is told, saying something along the lines of, "we do not kill our babies," but both she and the father show unconditional love and support to their daughter as they embrace the knowledge of a lost grandchild.

One thing I did note was that Chris's wife is seven months pregnant, which left me thinking that it must have been such an abortion connector for Charita, but I trust that just by the fact that they allowed the truth they were able to deal with whatever this brought up.

I was really proud of the show for allowing this truth that so many post abortive women experience to be aired instead of denying it or blaming her eating issues on something else and also for allowing the grief and pain of her parents to be seen. It is not a secret to those of us who have been there that abortion manifests itself in addictions, eating disordersm, and a host of other ways.

I tried to pull up the show to post but it is not available yet. I pray many who are suffering in silence  obtain the courage to move forward for healing and I especially pray that Charita is successful in her weight loss and most especially is freed from the bondage of her abortion.

Making the Abnormal Normal

So, I came upon this post on the DVD, "After Tiller," this morning about late term abortionist George Tiller.

I don't condone the murder of Tiller or any violence, but I find it hard to understand how anyone could think he was a hero. Why? Because he was willing to kill late term unborn children? There is nothing heroic about that.

The post I read describes it this way, "A powerful and inspirational documentary filmed with a calm focus through beautiful and reflective moments. Directed and produced by Martha Shane and Lana Wilson." It also includes quotes from other late term abortionists, like Carhart and Hern.

I actually was brought to tears reading this because what I know of Tiller is anything but "beautiful and reflective."  I have seen Tiller's work. I have worked with couples who were sent to him because of an adverse prenatal diagnosis, and have seen pictures he took of them with their babies dressed up, after he had killed them, as if all was well.

I have heard the despair and agony of parents who, when they thawed out after giving in to the pressure to abort because their child was less than what society considers perfect, were devasated that they had given in.

I won't watch this film, I do not need to. I have seen the truth of what Tiller did firsthand, but I can bet they did not interview patients whose lives he destroyed in this film, so I will put a few quotes from them here:

"I have no doubt that those two doctors who sent me to Kansas felt they were doing what was best.  Only now I know it was the exact opposite.  The devil often masks things to appear right when it really is just a distortion.  While I was in Kansas I came in contact with evil.  Everything about the clinic was deceptive.  The pictures they take and the way they try so hard to make what you’re doing seem like your losing your baby naturally.  But there is nothing natural or normal going on behind those walls.  I allowed (and paid!) someone to kill my baby in my womb, the safest place a person can find herself." D

"On November 15 of 2001, I aborted my daughter because we were told she had severe mental and physical deformities and was not going to have good “quality of life”- whatever that means.  My baby was full term when she was killed. After the abortion, she was actually given to us to see and hold. She was just a baby, not the monster they said she would be. A baby we wanted and loved immeasurably.  However, this love was twisted by evil, and we were convinced by doctors and others we trusted that the best thing to do for her was to terminate her life.  Even as I write that, it seems at odds with common sense.  We needed to end her life so she wouldn’t have a bad life? It makes absolutely no sense to me right now, but at the time we were compromised and easily led astray. What a waste."

"There are only a handful of doctors willing to perform abortions that late in pregnancy.  In addition, from a legal standpoint, there is supposed to be a valid reason for aborting a baby at 36 weeks, and fetal anomaly isn’t one of them. The catch phrase for an abortion this late in pregnancy is “health of the mother.” What most people do not realize is that this includes mental health, so if a mom says she is depressed or stressed, she is free to abort.  Thinking back, I never felt my health, mental or physical, was in jeopardy.  Moreover, I would venture to say that my mental health was essentially threatened after the abortion. Talk about irony!"

I'd bet the movie also does not mention the women who have died at the hands of these abortionists.

They may think these doctors are heroes because they are seen to choose to risk their lives in order to kill other lives while making lots of money, but they are no heroes in my book or in the lives of many who have gone to them. As they continue to try to make the abornormal normal, may we continue to speak the truth of what they do so that legally we can put an end to the horror of late term abortion.

Abortion & Adverse Prenatal Diagnosis - SD's Story

When we found out I was pregnant, we were ecstatic. We wanted to do everything right; eat well, sleep a lot, ponder the sex and its name. We had gone to a highly recommended doctor, asked all the right questions and giggled with glee at home over the thought of our soon-to-be offspring. I remember calling my dad and saying, “We passed the Downs Syndrome test. Thank God.” It wasn’t until a few weeks after that I received a message at work from our MD that we had a marker. I was confused. I immediately called my mom in a panic and cried. It couldn’t be real, but something inside told me I should be worried.

 

The doctor urged me to set up an amniocentesis just to make sure. He assured us it was nothing and soft markers showed up all the time. They were always a mistake, someone else’s mistake. A 30-year-old healthy female would never give birth to a disabled child. It just wouldn’t happen. Not to us.

 

We got the chilling results of our test on December 5, 2009. We were waiting for our hamburgers and fries when my husband’s phone lit up with the bad news. I was in such disbelief, but wanted to keep the baby. We cried and cried and found out it was a baby boy that night. The doctor said I would carry him well since I was so young. There would be no problem with the rest of the pregnancy except that he had Downs Syndrome.

 

Young, naïve, and worried about the future life of this child, we tormented ourselves for the next few weeks. We decided to get all the answers we could possibly get before the baby got any bigger. We prayed and cried and screamed and held one another for days. When we weren’t surfing the Internet for answers and solutions, we were calling centers, psychiatrists, and hospitals to get more advice. Everyone tried to help. They cooked, cleaned for us and made things as comfortable as possible. In the end it came down to me and I decided to end all hope of that pregnancy on December 18, 2009.

 

I can’t even write what happened to me in the days and months following. The only thing that kept me alive was the love and support of my family and the prospect of eventually having another baby. I got pregnant with our daughter 4 months after my termination. I told my husband I didn’t want to do invasive prenatal testing because I made the wrong decision last time. He didn’t agree. Even after our horrible experience, he wanted to know all the answers again.

 

He felt very strongly about disabled children (and would have been more accepting of one this time) but didn’t want any surprises. I threatened him with divorce and listened to my heart. He backed off. After getting the non-invasive nuchal sonogram test, we were told our daughter had a 1 in 24 chance of also being Downs.

 

Our nightmare returned. How could this happen again only 4 months later? It had to be a mistake. But through faith and experience, I made sure I would not turn my back on another unborn child EVER. Our new, understanding doctor also suggested an amnio. He had me schedule it. I contemplated doing it just to know but I didn’t want to be faced with any decisions. I was afraid of myself. I just wanted to have this baby no matter what. Our daughter, our angel, was born perfectly healthy in January 2011.

 

This is such a brief synopsis of my story, our story, our heartache, our despair, our ‘why me’. We were broken by what happened. Our daughter is our angel who is here for a reason, but we suffer every day because we made the wrong decision and weren’t strong enough to take on what was presented to us. Now we must grieve inwardly and that is harder than anything. We have found light in our new baby and in all that she does, but we learned the most valuable lesson of all; always respect life.

 

I hope that women out there who are suffering with a poor prenatal diagnosis can see the light and know that the darkest days are the ones they are living. You can and will make it through. I wish I could have had the patience, faith, and confidence to move forward back then. Now I will have to wait a lifetime to meet my son but he’s in my heart every day. - SD

A Message for Toni Braxton

Here is another message for Toni Braxton written by a friend of mine, Susan Wills, formerly of the USCCB. Susan uses one of my sayings on healing in the article, “The process of healing from abortion isn’t about who you are and what you’ve done; it’s about who God is and what he’s done.” I have not read Toni's book so I won't comment, but I pray she finds the peace of Christ who desires her healing through His unfathomable mercy.

A Message to Toni Braxton - You can find hope and healing from the pain of your abortion.

Toni, I haven’t had a chance to read your book (I will!), but based on the media stories about your continued suffering from the loss of your baby in an abortion, I felt like I had to write you now anyway. 

 

You are not alone, Toni! You can find peace again and experience the merciful love that God has for you. All he asks of us is genuine regret for what we’ve done and that we ask for his forgiveness.

So many women who’ve lost a child in an abortion (and many hundreds of them have shared their stories with me) believe that God cannot forgive them for what happened to their child. In fact, the biggest obstacle to their finding peace and happiness again is that they are convinced that abortion is too awful for God to forgive.

One woman wrote: “I have had so much pain: the shame and guilt and the fear that God hates me. I still cry every day and think of my baby. … How can God ever forgive me?”    

And later, when a tragedy or illness or setback happens, they are sure that God is punishing them for the abortion. That is not how God deals with us! Remember: “God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:17)

An Open Letter to Toni Braxton

I have been reading a lot of posts and articles regarding Toni Braxton and her feelings after her abortion and her belief that God was punishing her. Kim Ketola of Cradle My Heart offers the best response, in my opinion, from the heart of one who knows.

An Open Letter to Toni Braxton

Thank you for being honest and candid in your book Unbreak My Heart. I especially applaud you for sharing your fear that God punished you for an abortion by afflicting you with lupus and your son with autism. I hope my words may bring you some release from any lingering anxiety related to these fears. 

Fear of God’s punishment after abortion is a common problem among women who choose it. We know in our hearts, as you said, we have participated in the taking of a life. Also, you are correct in saying that while you are a mom of two, you know in your heart there is a third child in your family. These are huge steps in your healing journey. I applaud you for breaking your silence to speak the secret, acknowledging your need to repair your relationship with God, and accepting the reality of the existence and intrinsic worth of your missing child.

So many women continue to justify the decision. When you appeared on The View I noticed Whoopi trying to appease your conscience with the excuse, “You weren’t ready [to parent]!” She continues to justify her own abortion past with that line of thinking. But it’s a trap which cannot satisfy the wounded conscience since it denies the worth of the child and places us above God as the One who gives and takes when it comes to life.

The fact that there is spiritual abuse in your past makes your experience that much more poignant. I too was very ignorant of the truth of God’s love toward us when I chose abortion. And financial and social pressures drove the decision in my case too. What I have learned and teach others in the aftermath is that our guilt often stands in as a way to avoid experiencing the grief we feel as mothers of lost children. The grief is so difficult to see because our culture continues to deny the worth of the unborn child. And we may even feel we don’t have a right to grieve what we ourselves destroyed. In our confusion we may come to believe that to grieve (and thus be relieved of the sorrow) might also mean to lose the one connection we feel to our missing child.

These complications all land in the envelope called guilt. And any new grief seems only to serve to compound the issue. Surely it was a moment of grief to hear your child diagnosed with autism—just as any chronic health condition is initially troubling news for any parent. I hope you can begin to see the pain we experience as parents as grief rather than guilt. Doing so allows us to turn toward God for comfort rather than hide from Him in shame.

As to the guilt, Toni, if you believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins then I hope you can accept that your sorrow is ending soon! The punishment that brings us peace with God is upon Christ—not you nor your beautiful autistic son. By the suffering Christ endured we are healed. It is already accomplished. Just believe and you will find your peace.

I am very proud of you for not sugar-coating the truth that stands at the center of so much heartache in your life. I hope that you continue to grow in grace as you experience the truth of God’s love. He’s promised never to leave you nor forsake you. He’s welcomed into His eternal presence the children you and I rejected in this life and He’s always in prayer for us and our living children for our good. The afflictions we and our children suffer are not God’s punishment but rather a taste of what Christ willingly took on for our sake to make us right forever with the Father of us all. As we share in that suffering we look forward to sharing in His glory. May it be so in your life and in your heart today.  Kim Ketola

My Two Faces - Donna's Story

“There was the me that everyone knew and then there was the me that I knew.”

October 26, 1991 was the day of my abortion and the day that changed my life forever. Before the abortion, I had known that it was wrong and at first, I was sort of happy about having a baby, although scared. But because of my circumstances and I have to admit, my own selfishness, I had decided to go along with my baby’s father’s desire to abort.

It wasn’t until I woke up afterwards, when I felt the complete emptiness and utter sadness of what I had done, did I realize the gravity of my sin.

The Planned Parenthood worker woke me and told me to get up and get dressed, they needed the bed. I couldn’t move and as I slowly came out of the anesthesia, I was overcome with such feelings of loss and desolation. I just sat there and got dressed...I couldn’t even bring myself to get up and go into the bathroom. I was so full of shame.

I suppose that was my first acknowledgement of my sin, however, I tried to hide it and then bury it. With that came the consequences. That first day I cried and just wanted to be alone. The baby’s father tried to console me, but he didn’t understand and I didn’t want to make him feel bad because after all, it was ultimately my decision. I had made horrible choices and sinned terribly before this. I chose to not have God in my life. I still believed in Him and I knew He was there watching me, but I wanted to do things my way because I just wanted to do what made me happy. I liked my life and got lazy about my morals. I didn’t go to Church regularly, I prayed very little, and tuned out my parents whenever they tried to talk to me about God. Since I ran from God before I even got pregnant, the thought never even occurred to me to run to Him for help after becoming pregnant. 

This choice, this sin, however, was the most heinous. The only way to continue on with my life was to not think about it. I had to bury it and move on. It was just too painful. Aside from telling 2 family members and a friend, telling other family or friends was not an option, after all, what would they think of me? I think most people had a certain opinion of me and having an abortion did not fit with who I was. At that time I was very concerned about what people thought of me. Plus, I was too ashamed and didn’t think they would understand...how could they? I didn’t understand or believe that I could do such a thing. I thought they would hate me and think I was some horrible person. I couldn’t deal with that from all of them...I already knew it to be true and I didn’t want anyone else to see that part of me, the part that could do something so terrible. So I pushed it down and hid behind the façade that everything was fine. By pushing it down and not letting anyone in, I could still pretend to be the same old me, on the outside anyway.

I went through life as if nothing was wrong or different. I was still with my boyfriend, we went out and had fun, and I worked and did what I had to do. It was like living a dual life. There was the me that everyone knew and then there was the me that I knew. The price I paid was emotional and spiritual. Never being a confident and secure person to begin with, my sin of abortion added to my low self-esteem. It was so hard to believe that I could actually do such a thing as this. What was I thinking? How could I be such a coward? I was a fake and a sad excuse for a human being. Why was God so far away? No, why did I push Him so far away???

It was at those times that I cried and begged God to forgive me. However, I didn’t think that I deserved forgiveness. After all, I took my own baby’s life. It was right for me to feel this way.

But I wanted forgiveness. I had admitted and repented a million times to God when I was alone.

Years later, one priest that I spoke with gave me a Lumina pamphlet. He urged me to call but I just put it in the drawer. I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t make that call. However, at that time, I had started to let God back in my life. I really started looking for Jesus. I went back to Church, eventually I started teaching Religious Ed classes which started me wanting to learn more about my faith, but I still couldn’t let go of my abortion.

Then one day, I had this sudden urge to call the Sisters of Life. I had seen them on EWTN, went on their web-site, had even pulled out my Lumina pamphlet and read it again and again. I still hadn’t found the peace that I desired. At this point, I knew that God had forgiven me but I still couldn’t forgive myself. I was still miserable inside. There was no time to think about it. It was as if God Himself was controlling my fingers to dial the phone. It was as if He had said ok, enough! You’re ready now. This is what you need to do. Things changed in me from that very first phone call. It was an amazing experience. After so many years of feeling isolated, not only did I meet other women who knew what I was going through, God put women of such compassion in my life, I just could not believe the love that surrounded me.

After that, I went to an Entering Canaan Retreat Weekend. As amazing as it sounds, it was during this weekend that my healing took place. It was then that I truly felt God’s mercy and grace. After hearing Theresa and the other women give powerful witness during the conference, I had the most amazing confession with Father Mariusz. By examining my conscience through each commandment, I was able to confess not only my abortion but even sins that I had already confessed. For the very first time, my soul felt clean and the huge burden of all my sins, especially my sin of abortion, was taken off my shoulders.

I learned through the weekend that I needed to accept God’s forgiveness because He had forgiven me and He wanted me to be at peace knowing this. I learned that I should not refuse this great gift of His, but embrace it and know that He does love me, no matter what. I learned that I’m not the monster that Satan told me I was. While I still hate my sin of abortion, I can finally look in the mirror and not hate me. One more very important thing that I’ve learned is that I do have a voice.

The peaceful and amazing retreat weekends that I’ve spent with Theresa, the Sisters of Life, the priests and every single woman who I met along the way have helped change my life. God put each and every one of them in my path to help me. All of this and everything that I felt, every tear, every painful memory, every agonizing second of time that I’ve thought about my abortion has brought me closer in my relationship to God and my healing.

With God’s grace, I was finally able to accept His forgiveness. I am now closer to understanding the cross and Jesus’ excruciatingly painful death for us so that we may live. I understand that He hates my sins but loves me dearly and longs to heal me.

I am so very thankful to God for all that He has done for me. While He must have been very saddened by my sins and my choice to run from Him,

He stayed with me along my journey and helped me learn from these sins. As my journey continues, no matter what happens, I know that Jesus is always beside me and that I can always trust in Him and His mercy.

– Donna

Siblings After Abortion - KT's Story

I am 62 years old, and I have known since I was about 14 that my mother had two abortions prior to my birth. She told me this herself, as she was going through a complete mental breakdown, the effects of which eventually took her life at 57.  I was told that this happened during or right after the great depression.

For many years, I had a hard time understanding. Both my parents were dead by the time I was 16. Often times I thought how wonderful it would have been to have my lost siblings with me after our parents were gone.

My mom told me there was a boy, whom she had quietly named Richard after the abortion. I still think about my brother Richard and what he would have been like. My mom said IMG_0184at one time that the second abortion was done so early that they could not tell if it was a boy or a girl. I just think maybe it was a sister. 

I have not named her, maybe I should, to give her an existence and a face in my heart.

The reason I think it may have been a girl, is that in the months before my dad died of cancer, he would call me into his room almost every day and ask me if I saw the little girl standing at the foot of his bed. He described her in detail, a little girl about 6 years old, wearing a sun dress and a straw hat. Of course I saw nothing, but he insisted she was there, I don’t mean once or twice, it was almost every day, and he described her in such vivid detail, hair color, eyes, everything, although he said she never said anything to him. Once he said to me, “you know I was no angel in my life, and she may be a reminder of that."  He never ever mentioned the abortions to me, but now looking back I can see a connect here as well.

My dad never mentioned seeing a boy, my brother Richard, just the little girl. Maybe she was looking for a name, so I will give her that. I have to think about it, and I have been praying to Richard and for Richard, so now I will pray to my baby sister too, although she would have been older than me, I still see her as my baby sister. Maybe I will ask her what name she would like and pray about it.

One more thing, after my dad died, I was out of my mind with grief, I was 13, and thought my world would end. We were very close. I slept in his bed the whole time he was in the hospital, I missed him so much. One night before he died, I woke up in the middle of the night, and I saw a very bright luminous figure at the foot of the bed. It had no features, just light in a human form, it did not move. I pulled the covers up over my head I was so scared, I kept looking out over the covers and it was still there, time after time and it stayed there for quite a while. It only happened once, never again, but I think it was my guardian angel to tell me she would be there for me and that the next several years would be tough but I would not be alone.

Another thing I found out not too long ago, I was talking to my cousin, who is about 9 years older than me and remembers my birth and the circumstances surrounding my birth. She told me that indeed it was true that my Mom had had two abortions, and that I was supposed to “make up” for the ones that were lost. Now that was another bomb to me, because I then thought that if my siblings had lived, my parents probably would not have had me. I was born when both of them were well into their 40’s. So, another guilt bomb, my siblings died so I could live in a way. So there are so many emotions that spin around, guilt that I am alive because they died, my life was to make up for the loss of their lives, and on and on. All I can do is have faith in God, trust that His hand is on my life, and for whatever reason I am here and have a job to do for Him.

I had one living sister, so these abortions took place between her birth and mine, so there would have been 4 of us in my family if we all had been allowed to live. My sister has since passed away in an auto accident, so I have no siblings left.

I think it might be good for people to know that we all suffer from abortion. It is not something that only affects the mother or the father over time. I have not forgotten my siblings and I never will. I miss them although I never knew them. I cannot get it out of my mind, and I pray for my mom, my dad, and my siblings every day. It really does not just go away, not for the parents or for the siblings, or for the grandparents I am sure, as I am a proud grandma of 6. I cannot imagine my life without any one of them. So God bless you, and all those in need of hope or the courage to go on.   ~KT

Unbreak My Heart: God’s Mercy After Abortion

Denise Hunnell, M.D. has a great article over at Human Life International's Truth & Charity Forum entitled, Unbreak My Heart:  God's Mercy After Abortion.

This past March, Emily Letts created a media firestorm by filming her abortion and posting her documentary as a testament to how wonderful abortion could be. In a follow-up article in Cosmopolitan, she gushes about her abortion as a positive and even joyous experience. This portrayal stuns all who value life from the moment of conception and prompted understandable outrage. However, it is important to remember that Emily Letts is only twenty-five and still has a lot of life experiences ahead of her. It is not surprising that right now she feels the need to gloss over the harsh reality that she killed her unborn child and pretend that abortion is actually a good thing. Her perception may be very different in a few years.

Just ask the women involved in the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. They offer heart-wrenching testimonies of problems with subsequent infertility, difficulty forming relationships, depression, substance abuse, low self-esteem, overwhelming guilt and many other painful sequelae to abortion.  

Singer Toni Braxton is among the recent voices to express regret and remorse over an abortion. In her memoir, Unbreak My Heart, she talks about how she found out she was pregnant while she was undergoing intensive therapy with isoretinoin (commonly marketed as Accutane) for acne. She was advised to get an abortion because of the potential for serious and even fatal fetal malformations as a result of the use of isoretinoin. She admits that even if she had not been on the medication she probably would have gotten the abortion because it was not a convenient time for her to be pregnant, but the risk of birth defects made the decision seem justified. However, afterwards she was wracked with guilt. She attributed everything from her own health issues with Lupus to her parents’ divorce as a consequence of her abortion. She subsequently had two sons, the youngest of whom is autistic. She openly wonders if her son’s autism is a punishment from God for her abortion
