Debbie's Testimony
"In 1977 I had an abortion and because of denial, I
suffered in silence for ten years not realizing the
abortion was the cause of my pain. When I reached a
point where I had impulses to commit suicide I
remembered God, and when I turned to Him, He
came immediately.
A few years later I attended a Christ Renews His Parish weekend for women and it changed my life. After my conversion I felt compelled to help protect women and their unborn babies from abortion because I knew how they would be hurt.
I went to the abortion mills to pray for them. I
would see the women going in and would feel
overcome with great sadness, because I knew their
lives would never be the same. They had no idea
what they were getting themselves into, and how
much they would regret this choice one-day.
After a period of time, I realized the Lord was calling me into post-abortion ministry. My own abortion and recovery experience would offer hope to women. I could understand their pain and with loving compassion and the Grace of God lead them through the 10-step recovery process.
Since I began doing ministry I have discovered that abortion recovery is really a life-long process. That is why it’s so important that the message reach women that abortion is a life-changing, traumatic event.
Four thousand women a day are falling for the lie our society promotes…that abortion is birth control. That it is a safe, simple procedure that will take care of your problem. Women are often so hurt, broken and devastated after abortion that they cannot speak about their experience for many years, until and if they find healing."
