Being Post Abortive, I know the need to heal but I also know that I have a need to share this grief with others. As a nation we have been so desensitized by Roe v. Wade and the subsequent actions by those that devalue LIFE. Today, there are more of us than them and we are still ruled by THEM. My expression of post abortion grief is not acceptable; it’s thought of as unnecessary. It is a constitutional right to abort, but not a constitutional right to grieve the loss of an aborted child out loud, whether in the media, in church or on the street corner.
Like most Post Abortive women, I hid my grief and my failure from everyone. No woman wants to say out loud that their sin brought them to a point that they would kill their unborn child, as if to put a period on the end of a sentence. But it wasn’t that simple, like all prochoicers will have you believe – abortion was not an answer to any situation for any reason.
If you think about it clearly, abortion was brought about not just to exterminate what Sanger called ‘inferiors’, abortion was a wealthy woman’s way of hiding illicit affairs and a wealth man’s way of hiding their sin from their families. Abortion was a friend to the wealthy. The shame of hiding abortion is greater than the short fix of a bad situation. Not so long ago Planned Parenthood was yet again in the spotlight for having covered up an abortion for a minor girl whose adult boyfriend dropped her off and paid for the procedure. Covering up statutory rape is a crime in this country, but not the abortion. As time goes on, these post abortive lives are peppered with tiny bits of what our children would have been – a son or daughter, a friend, maybe someone that would have saved someone else’s life.
Your constitutional right to grieve the loss of your aborted child is not welcome by our society, but GOD wants to heal you and wants to take your grief away:
“The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. The LORD lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.” Psalm 147:2-6, NKJV
Unresolved grief is like a cancer. Grief is personal, grief can be indefinite. My constitutional right to grieve the loss of my aborted child is being taken away and replaced with liberal half-truths to blatant lies.
It’s time to grieve out loud. Abortion has a face – and that face is mine.

It is still so hard to believe that after many years of being a polite society here in these United States of America that Roe v. Wade will soon be in its 40th year. With abortion still legal, we as a nation and a society have become a dismal failure.
In this past 39th year of Roe, much has happened to further the lives of our unborn children but as we all know, it is not enough. We can march around world a bazillion times but until we are led by a prolife president that has the guts to say NO to abortion and to Roe, marching won’t matter. I know marching and other protests bring awareness to the problem, but even I’m sick of the word ‘awareness’: I WANT RESULTS.
We cannot change the problem until we can change the heart.
This past 39th year of Roe, I have been entwined with the Heartbeat Bill here in Ohio. I had to get out of the box and say out loud, in the House committee that was hearing testimony for the Bill, that I had an abortion and how it has affected my life. And as difficult as that was for me to testify before the House Committee, it was even harder to hear testimony supporting abortion. I can’t tell you how awful it is to listen to men and women say it’s a RIGHT to kill an unborn child. In my entire 50 years on this earth, I still am in awe of people – especially those that consider themselves ‘clergy’ – that fight the devil’s fight to kill our unborn. All it did was fuel the fire that God has put in my gut to stop this heinous bleating of ‘reproductive rights’.
The Heartbeat Bill brought me in front of the media, as well. It was something that was kind of cool and rather humbling. The local news and newspaper was interested in the Bill and that I testified on behalf of post abortive women, like me. Somehow that didn’t make sense to people but it certainly did to me. I know that God set me up to be the one to look to for the post abortive answer to the abortion question.
As this 39th year of Roe progressed, I was given the distinct honor of being asked to be the speaker at the closing rally for 40 Day for Life here in Dayton. It blessed me beyond measure. A great big thanks to everyone that came and supported me and the cause for LIFE.
In October, we went to Dayton Life Chain and stood with 2000 other people in silent prayer for one hour in reflection of the lives of the unborn that were aborted. I think we at least a 3 mile chain this last time! As drivers passed by, maybe at least one unborn child was saved. I really enjoy making the devil MAD.
As the Heartbeat Bill progressed, I was honored to testify again, this time for the Senate Committee. As I sat through the first day of testimony, I was grieved to see very young girls and boys in Planned Parenthood t-shirts. Obviously, these kids have no idea what they were doing. They giggled and made fun of Prolifers behind their backs with obscene gestures…..all bought and paid for by our tax money.
In this 39th year of Roe, women that I know felt comfortable enough to confide in me about their abortion experience. In a way it is nice to know that I am not alone, but I kind of wish I was. I hate that anyone ever had to go through the abortion procedure. The life of a post abortive woman is never a bed of roses – of that I am sure.
During this 39th year of Roe, I became a grandmother again. She was not planned or even considered until her mom realized she was pregnant. I am thankful that her mom chose LIFE. I’m thankful that my son is a good dad. And she is quite beautiful.
Part of being prolife is being a bit of an evangelist. This last year has given me further proof that GOD is in control and will prevail. He will change the hearts of women and men about LIFE; all I am is His servant…as we all should be. Without understanding that GOD is the Creator – the Author and Finisher, the Alpha and the Omega – then we stand a weak chance of changing the mind of people about LIFE. After all, if you don’t know where LIFE comes from, how can you respect it?
So as this 39th year of Roe v. Wade comes to a close, and the 40th year begins, we need to be much more attentive to the post abortive woman. There are AT LEAST 55+ million of us that have to deal with our failure every day. But our failure can be what changes the face of abortion and overturns Roe v. Wade. I am ever thankful to GOD that He has brought me this far in my Prolife LIFE, but there is far, far more to do.
I want to thank my husband for being the only one that stood by me at every event and encouraged my every written word; whether it was on this site or one of my many Letters to the Editor of our Ohio newspapers or writing testimony. I say I don’t know if I could have done this alone, but GOD is with me! And it took my husband to remind me of that every step of every day of my Prolife LIFE this 39th year of Roe v. Wade.
Let me leave this with you regarding your Post Abortive walk:
“For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:10-14, NKJV
GOD knows you are or were in Babylon, a place where you are not celebrated, just tolerated. He wants you to know that all you have to do is ask Him and He will take you away from the captivity of being Post Abortive. GOD LOVES YOU! He knows your heart; He knows that you regret your ‘choice’. He knows you want to heal. So now it’s your turn to turn to HIM and be made whole again. Celebrate LIFE – celebrate Him.

Being a former unborn child, I feel I have a right to my opinion and judgment of those that were also former unborn children, who have some kind of pseudo fear of what they determine to be ‘unwanted’ babies and doomed to an untimely death.
Everyone that has ever been born has also been…unborn.
As a former unborn child I can tell you that being after-born is way better than the certain death of 25% of unborn children. In fact, I did not need anyone to tell me how viable or unviable my after-born life would be – LIFE was still my CHOICE. I did not need to be put out of my misery or kept from my after-born life because I may not have been perfect enough.
Being a former unborn child, I have to wonder exactly who is deeming who ‘unwanted’. Now, circumstances can make one assume being either unwanted or unplanned to be non-life worthy. However, being a former unborn child, I can assure you that I preferred LIFE to being vacuumed out of my mother’s womb.
Was I planned? Was I part of a plan? Was I even consulted? Hmm…interesting view, I would say. Okay then – how does any former unborn child become a proponent of choosing death for other unborn children who have also NOT been consulted?
I am now considering the title ‘Unborn Child Consultant’ along with advocate, activist and minister. It seems to me that a certain demographic has been long ignored and not given their God-given rights and lawful proprieties. It also seems that many other people that are too self-absorbed in their own after-born lives to think outside the box to see that we are a nation in trouble without the 50-100 million dead unborn children to help support our country.
As a former unborn child I will tell you that abortion has never been the answer to any question. Unborn children do not want to die.
But as an Unborn Child Consultant, I will do whatever it takes to make the killing stop.

The Book of Ecclesiastes is a summation of a life lived in vain but ultimately knew his folly and got his mind back. Solomon said, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die…” Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, NKJV
According to GOD, we have a right to LIFE.
In God’s own time and the season He chooses is when our lives are determined and purposed – whether you call Him God or not. The reason I say that is because way too many people ‘believe’ one thing or another whether it’s truth or not. Truth is not a matter of opinion, just a matter of acceptance.
So, let me say it again, “In God’s own time and the season He chooses is when our lives are determined and purposed.”
People love to hear themselves talk. They say things that have no meaning; no true determination of anything other than the vanity of their abstract way of thinking about Life to others. As I mentioned earlier, anything other than truth is opinion, or vain interpretation and utterance.
Being rather outspoken of things that the world deems circumspect, I am smart enough to check my sources…namely the Word of God, not worldly publications or pious lackadaisical ‘spiritual’ leaders. The subject of Life and the right to live it is plainly explained to all of us ignorant bible-thumpin’ Christians in the Bible – this isn’t rocket science, the big bang theory or even the theory of evolution…just plain truth straight from the mouth and heart of GOD.
My right to cross the street supersedes the right to LIFE. The unborn take a back seat to the unemployables occupying parks for free on my dime. The unborn die every day without so much of a whimper from the general public but people complain out loud about gas prices. Where have our sensibilities gone?
A time to be born, and a time to die…determined by GOD, as it was always supposed to be. Today, about 4000 unborn babies died from abortion. And it never made the news.
The Church and the United States of America needs to get their mind back and get back to the basics of human LIFE and fundamental necessity, as GOD meant it to be. We are a people that have lost their way but we can get our mind back, just as Solomon did….let’s start with the right to LIFE and the LIBERTY to live it.

Much of the American public believes that the issue of Life is a matter of opinion, not fact. Too many people see Life as a choice to be born or not, whether because of health reasons, financial circumstances, etc. The fact remains that Life is not by accident or circumstance, but ordained by One mightier than you or me.
We cannot change the color of the sky to suit us, then how is it we think we have the audacity to assign Life to those we think are more worthy and death to those who are not?
The humanistic world does not believe in God, but knows that there is a god-like ethereal being that they can call on when they need a new house or car; they suppose that because they do not worship or ‘believe’ in God or a god out loud that their deeds done in secret are not being remembered, accounted or even considered. How great is the chasm between the truth and an assumed belief to benefit yourself.
God is Lord of all, whether you believe in him or not.
All this being said, Life and death are haphazardly thought of because there is no outward sign of belief in God – an abortion is a blessing to an out of work single woman; euthanasia is prescribed because the quality of Life is dictated by well meaning family members that don’t want their loved one to suffer. I would say that the Life decisions they make are an advantage to themselves, not the person in need. In any event, someone dies.
Let me be the first to let you know that no one needs or wants your God-less opinion or assumption of what you think others need to have value and quality of Life.
To summarize: We don’t need a bunch of well meaning God haters to make laws that govern when we can and cannot have Life. The fact is that abortion and euthanasia is murder, not quality control.
The question is, “…If God is for us, who can be against us?” Turns out just about everyone who does not believe that Life has been and is foreordained before the foundations of this world.
Each one of us has a separate purpose and function; no one is left out, “For there is no partiality with God”, AND, “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.”

Still after all this time during my post abortive journey and ministry, I am dismayed at how many churches do not exemplify a Prolife message. I think that more often than not, church goers assume a church is Prolife but that usually isn’t the case. When is the last time you heard a Prolife message or sermon in your church?
This article is not for the church goer, this message is for the PASTOR.
It is a well known fact that teenagers that wait to have sex have been taught at home, by their parents throughout their childhood, to wait and to be responsible for themselves and others. That being said, if church goers were taught by the Pastor in their church continually during their walk about Life, there would be no question about abortion.
If there is no respect for Life, then how can there be any respect for anything else the Lord has deemed holy?
After being a member of a large ministry, I saw how little abortion, chastity and holiness really meant to the multitude, not every person, but most: it was only addressed if it was newsworthy at the time. Ironically, those three things are why the Church is failing – when God is taken out of the equation, you have nothing but a liberal by-product that is unrecognizable to God and therefore, not anointed by Him. When these things happen, your church has essentially become a bar without the booze.
Pastors and ministers have a huge responsibility to teach the ENTIRE flock, not just the pretty part that has all the money. The true congregation is made up mostly of people that are hurt, desperate and wounded by what the world has given them. There is a better way, the way of Jesus Christ. Our churches are not the ‘sin hospital’ they are supposed to be. I remember being a seeker, looking desperately for that one place that would extend a loving, caring hand…not more condemnation. My God of the Bible loves us in spite of who we are, not who we should have been. There are many, many Pastors, preachers and ministers that don’t teach the God of the Bible that gave His Son that I would live.
The Apostle Paul said this about false teachers – “But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.”
What about the congregation? What do we do to set ourselves apart from false teachers and preachers that do not exemplify Life and holiness?
Mark them: “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”
Go back to what the entire Bible teaches and find a ministry and/or church that has their foundation in the finished work of Jesus Christ – and LIFE.

Ask a Liberal whether they think abortion is wrong and you’ll find out that they usually do believe that abortion is wrong – but they won’t impose their ‘morality’ on anyone else. In other words if the Supreme Court said so, it must be right. Liberals want to make our society socialistic to squelch an imposed morality and the deity of God.
Imposed morality? Remember three key points of Roe v. Wade:
- Right to Privacy: The 14th Amendment implied to guarantee a freedom of choice for women to choose death for their unborn child.
- Violates the 14th Amendment: ‘No person shall be denied Life, Liberty or Property without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws’.
- Personhood: Justices declared and unborn child to be a non-person much like the in Dred Scott case.
- The 14th Amendment became doublespeak, not what the Framers intended.
- What the Framers intended was dashed due to imposed morality.
Simply put, the 14th Amendment was taken completely out of context and set up the right to abort throughout nine months of pregnancy:
‘Thus, the Framers’ original understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment has not provided a useful yardstick to measure the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. Since the mid-1940s, the Supreme Court has strayed further from the Framers’ original understanding, recognizing controversial privacy rights to use contraceptives (griswold v. connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 85 S. Ct. 1678, 14 L. Ed. 2d 510 [1965]), obtain abortions prior to the third trimester of pregnancy (roe v. wade, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705, 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 [1973]).”
Dignity or Divinity of unborn Life? I say both, you decide. All Life was meant to be lived, not cut off due to circumstance. All Life is an assignment from God to be lived as He meant for us to…all of us.
Roe v. Wade has imposed a different morality, one of caring for those born first than those not yet born. We the People have become a civilization of moralistic wannabes rather than the Godly society that we are meant to be.
Without God, there is nothing. With God we are everything!

Church, what is your stand for Life? What is your written a policy about Life? Does your church know that you have a Life policy?
The humanistic world is creeping into the Church trying to change how we think about Life, abortion, the gay agenda and world unity. Relativism is tweaking the ears of the highly intelligent church member leading them to believe that if there is ‘more’ [to learn] out there, it would substantiate their need for creative thinking instead of the simple truth of the Gospel. Scripture has no real value beyond subjective moments of ‘inspiration’.
“The announcement that the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, MA, has chosen a lesbian, pro-abortion president to lead the seminary has sent shock waves around the Anglican Communion. The appointment of Katherine Hancock Ragsdale highlights a week that also saw TEC bishop-elect Kevin Thew Forrester replace a reading from the New Testament with a reading from the Quran at St. Paul’s Marquette, Michigan.” David W. Virtue
Humanistic values now reflect a perverse sense of priorities in the Post Modern Church…or rather, the Emergent. Morality and spirituality does not count for the truth or “real” knowledge of those in the Post Modern Church – they’ve moved from when Life begins to if Life can be sustained to their satisfaction.
And succinctly, Roe made sense to the Post Modern Church. The dignity of Life was effectively dismissed and replaced with the humanistic need to save the world without God.
The Emergent has taken ‘love your neighbor as yourself’ to mean that to murder unborn Life is to be merciful.
Certainly the Emergent is not Evangelical any longer, if they ever were. They’ve become an entity that is more humanitarian than Christian. Has being relevant changed how the Church views Life?
Most denominations make exceptions for abortion in certain circumstances but fail to realize that no matter the reason or situation, a child will die.

Part 2 #esthermovement
The intended holocaust that Haman had for the Jews was thwarted by a woman that God specifically chose for His purpose – to save the children of Israel. Satan, through Haman, wanted to annihilate every Jew to keep the coming redeemer from ever being born. Did Haman actually know that was the reason for his hatred of the Jews? Probably not, but it did not matter. All Haman knew was hate. 
Being Esther is understanding that LIFE is a fundamental truth, not a concept thought up by man. This truth is from the mouth and heart of God: “You shall not murder.” Exodus 20:13, NKJV
And how can you understand that Life is a fundamental truth if you don’t have a revelation of Life – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:6, NKJV
Or how we were created, ‘So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27, NKJV
Or why we were created, ‘Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11, KJV
God’s most elaborate creation was his most problematic creation – man. Satan, through man, is still trying to kill God’s creation, one unborn child at a time. And through the holocaust called Roe v. Wade, more than 55 million unborn children have been murdered…just in the United States alone. Worldwide, over 42 million unborn babies die per year.
Esther stopped Haman from killing the Jews; she saved millions of lives…Being Esther today can save many more millions, one unborn child at a time until Roe v Wade becomes a distant, horrific memory.

Part 1 #esthermovement
Esther was orphaned and adopted by her cousin Mordecai and became Queen…a Queen of the greatest empire on the earth at that time. That doesn’t come by accident. She was chosen by God to help her people and her opposition was great. She knew she could die but her purpose was greater than her fear of death. 
“Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” Esther 4:16, ESV
Because of Queen Esther, the Jewish people were not exterminated. God showed her favor through King Ahasuerus and God used the Queen to fulfill the lineage to Jesus Christ. The story of Esther is one of grace and favor, but it doesn’t go without saying that she had a heart for God and a heart for her people.
There are no orphans of God, we are all accounted for – Jesus said, “But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.”
In the Prolife movement, I am Esther, you are Esther. We seek to free the children of Israel – all unborn children – every day through prayer, supplication and legislation.
“For how can I bear to see the calamity that is coming to my people? Or how can I bear to see the destruction of my kindred?” Esther 8:6, ESV
We are still trying to save the children of Israel, just like Esther, one unborn child at a time. Just as Haman in the Book of Esther sought to exterminate the Jews, today through the sin of abortion Haman still seeks our children, and he’s succeeding.
Queen Esther was victorious saving the children of Israel but we are still fighting the fight of abortion trying to save our unborn children. Women have usurped the authority of God to take command of their bodies:
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, ESV
We are not our own, our bodies are not our own. We are God’s…and so is every unborn child, without exception. Be an Esther, and save our children.
