My abortion not only violated my moral code as a girl who grew up pro-life but it wounded me. Thanks to a local Care Pregnancy center close to the TCU campus in Fort Worth, I was able to find healing in the midst of my college experience at Texas Christian University. I loved my experience in college and am so grateful for my degree in Communications, but it's the healing I received in my junior year that is most treasured.
Don't get me wrong even though I know today I don't live with the baggage of that choice, I still face hard emotions at times. Sometimes the most obscure happening to cross my path can easily cause me to mourn my sweet, Tyler, the name I knew was his.
It is and always will be my greatest regret!
I am hurt now, by the realization that his body may have been further profited on and mutilated for the sake of science after I left that clinic. That thought hurts me and I'm left wondering, am I the only one feeling this way?
Sure, I signed some papers before the procedure, but if you think for a moment I was in any state to do such a thing, you are wrong! You can say all you want that women are giving permission but my guess (and by guess I mean based on my years of counseling women who have experienced pain due to abortion), that if women really knew the doctor was working in a specific way to protect a kidney or brain matter to later sell to research, they would be running in an effort to protect their child!
These videos bring to light one more thing I must mourn. My poor baby was hurt and I not only let it happen, I agreed to it by signing the paperwork. Be mindful that there is a third of our population that has made this same choice and many of them may be mourning a new level of loss! Planned Parenthood must be stopped and we need a new non-profit that actually is pro-woman!
