It was a real "back alley" experience

I had the abortion when I was 19 (69 now) because I had a one year old daughter, was just divorced and struggling to support her and myself.

I was given no information. It was a real "back alley" experience. In 1993 I saw a counselor at Pregnancy Lifeline but I doubt there was any help back when I had the abortion.

The abortion was terrible and it haunted me until I just recently went to a post-abortion Bible study and got rid of the guilt.

The abortion left me with a deep sense of guilt and sadness. I have dreams about what happened.

To deal with the abortion, a counselor led me and several others (I was the only old lady) into forgiveness with Christ. I was totally relieved.

I have 2 children now and I think the abortion left me with deep psychological scars and I "over-mother" my children.
