I had an abortion at 20. I had just moved out on my own and when I found out I was pregnant my best friend and boyfriend convinced me it was the best thing to do. That was over 30 years ago and I still have guilt and shame and most of all regret. I hope God can forgive me as I selfishly took a life because I listened to other people instead of doing what I knew was right. I cried when I was being prepped for the abortion and the Dr and nurse exchanged looks . I’m sure they knew it was not what I really wanted. I wish I could go back and change my decision.

JH,
I’m so sorry for the pain you feel… I’m sorry you made the decision to have an abortion. But there is hope for you. God has your baby now and He offers you His free gift of mercy and grace. He is so good…. So loving… I hope you know Him.
Lamentations 3:21-23
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:13
For whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I’m praying for you.
