If you have not worked in a "pregnancy center", you probably have no idea the depth of delusion exhibited by the general public. One of the biggest problems pro-life counselors have to overcome is sheer ignorance. You ask:

What did she think they did there?

Most likely, she didn't think. She'd been programmed by the government schools and marxist Big Media to NOT think about it. When she had it rubbed in her face, she rejected it ... as any sane person would.

Please continue to pray for the abortionists, for their repentance and conversion.

I was pro-choice. I thought what the school taught me to think. That is was ‘just a clump of cells’ and that it wasn’t a life. That it was no different than an unknown miscarriage.

I believed what I was taught, but I was never comfortable with it. I knew in my heart that I could never have an abortion.

In 1989, I was raped. A month later, after a missed period, I had a pregnancy scare from that rape. (Turns out that stress can make you miss a period) As I sat in the waiting room for hours, waiting for my test results, I had to have a heart-to-heart with myself.

What if I was pregnant with my rapist’s baby?

For hours, I wrestled with myself. With my fears and my hopes.

But it all boiled down to one conclusion.

I was not a product of my parents’ morality. I was my own person, not branded by *their* sin.

And my child would be innocent. My child would be pure. Their own person. Whole and deserving of an opportunity for life.

I was no longer afraid when my name was called and the results of the blood test came back. I’d made up my mind.

That I would love that child MORE because of how it was conceived. That I would be MORE grateful. That I would turn my hurt, fear, guilt, anger and bitterness from the rape into love for my child.

The tests were negative.

But I’d had my change of heart.

ALL babies are innocent. All life is pure. All life is deserving.

I’d already had angels whispering in my ear for the past year, but that experience cemented it.

I’d been lied to and I refused to accept that lie.

I’ve saved two babies from abortion by sharing my story with frightened mothers and by agreeing to help them. There are two girls alive on this earth because I wasn’t afraid to admit that I was wrong. Both beautiful and whole people.
