As one person said, my article in The Federalist definitely hit a nerve. I only read a few of the over 400 comments (and responded to one or two) but most of them were angry, and frankly very sad. I was left feeling very grateful for my healing and the grace of God.
There is an obvious panic as the rank of women who have been hurt by abortion and are speaking out is growing. It has taken a long time, but as more and more of us are healed, the trumpet is getting louder calling forth those suffering in silence, to hope and healing.
Women know abortion hurts them, but they are made to feel like something is wrong with them if it does. It is insinuated that they have no right to speak out against something it took so long to get, or as they would say, "If you don’t want an abortion don’t get one".
Just take a look at the comment section of any articles post abortive women have written. No compassion there. They are bullied, degraded, insulted, chewed up and spit out, in spite of the fact that the pro aborts want us to believe they care about all women. They have in fact, embraced all the things they sought to avoid, enslaving countless numbers of women. The "chains" of mother hood they sought to avoid because of various reasons, has enslaved women in depression, anxiety, grief, and sometimes physical damage instead.
It is true that not all women speak in public because of different circumstances. Maybe their children or other family members don’t know about the abortion, or there is still a fear of being judged, but the word is spreading and reaching more and more of those living with the devastation. Instead of denying their feelings as the pro aborts continue to do, their experiences are being legitimized and healing is taking place. They are not alone anymore.
Yes, the left loves it when we are silent. They want us to stay hidden so that their fear of others hearing the truth is then minimized. They are afraid. They know groups like Silent No More and Operation Outcry are changing hearts. They attempt to counter their impact by having their own witness speak of how abortion did not bother them. They ponder the wonder of their abortion stories, trying to convince the world it was the right decision and is no big deal. I never could understand that. I would never want to be the kind of person who could abort my child and not have it bother me. I think most women agree with that. No matter what the circumstances, it is most times, a heart wrenching decision made based on the lies and misconceptions fed to us by the abortion industry.
They go to great lengths to hide the truth of abortion and refuse restrictions telling us it would put an undue burden on women. However, I would bet anyone who has had someone die from abortion would love to have restrictions and regulations.
Truth be told, they are missing the whole point. They are blind, and by their rhetoric are trying to brain wash others, but it is not working. They can have women praising abortion and it still does not diminish the pain and suffering of the millions of women who are living with abortions impact. The family and friends that would not say abortion was wrong because they did not want to judge those they knew that had them now are having a change of heart as more and more families are dealing with the fallout of mothers, fathers and even the siblings of those aborted. After over 40 years of legal abortion the conflict is still as strong as ever.
Contrary to what pro aborts may think, this is not a contest to see who can get more people on their side, or shout the loudest or bully the best. It is about the truth. Yes, they want to silence us, because in their hearts they know we are speaking the truth and that countless numbers of women are out there hearing our messages who also know because of their own experiences.
No, we aren’t afraid of you and you will not silence us any longer. We may be ignored by the media, or you may try to make it seem like we are the ones who are crazy, but it will not work anymore. This is about the truth of abortion which kills babies and hurts women, and in case you have not heard, the truth always sets us free.
