My 15 year old sister got pregnant, I talked her out of an abortion and adopted that little clump of cells from her. That little clump of cells is now 30 and he and his wife have their own little clump of cells who is three years old now with the face of an angel.
22 years ago I went to Planned Parenthood at 10:30 in the morning- but there was a sign on the door they were closed for lunch! I ended up going to Catholic Charities... my son is a blessing, I call him my lunch time boy.
@btsberleezyyuh _ mira amigo, la señora dijo que iba a abortar a su hijo, pero al llegar a Planned Parenthood vio un letrero que decía "cerrado por almuerzo", no regresó más tarde y tuvo a su hijo, ahora le llama "mi chico hora de almuerzo" solo espero que el chico no averigüe porque su madre le llama así
@@JHNative Religion does blind you. That's why we as Christian believers understand the importance of a personal relationship with God. Not just praying but listening and knowing that God is all powerful and can use any way He chooses to speak to those with ears to hear. Religion causes one to rely on rituals, traditions and repetitive works to obtain what only a submissive heart can receive. Religion stands in the way of receiving from an all powerful and loving God who wants relationship, not repetitive, robotic nonsense.
To all of those women commenting about their own abortions, thank you so much for your courage in sharing one of your most intimate and painful regrets.
Its definitely a life regret,something one never gets over, no matter how early one goes through it,6 weeks I wished I would have ran out back door. Thanks for the compassion😭😭😢 ☝🏼👑👂👀😊❤💙💚
Yes Cecy Nay! And yes, thank you my beautiful ladies for being courageous enough to share these painful stories. They benefit so many women out there. There is forgiveness and love.
Karol Józef Wojtyła (John Paul II) isn't exactly the best advocate for protecting children. Let's not forget that his organization the Catholic Church are notorious for abusing children.
Im laying in bed 22 weeks pregnant feeling my son kick while im watching this. Im only 19, do you think i have any clue how im gonna raise this baby? Absolutely not. But i do know that even before i saw my first altra sound i knew i loved him more than anything in the world. Yes im scared, but i know we will always have each other. I never in a million years would have thought about giving him up. My mother and father are drug addicts and i had the worst childhood that any child could have. I dont have someone to run to to ask what to do, but i dont care. My sweet innocent little boy is my world. Please dont ever deny yourself this. Its a privilege to carry your little human, its beautiful.
I had an abortion when I was 17 and I lived with the regret for almost 6 years. It was the most heartbreaking thing I ever done. Nightmares upon nightmares. Physically I was relieved but the psychological trauma was so daunting! Took me counselling and prayers to forgive myself.
As you know, Jesus Christ died on the cross for every single person's personal sins. Yours have always been forgiven, but you did need to recognize God's grace & forgive yourself. It's a human frailty that we each must overcome daily. Best wishes to you in the future!
Yes I watched it too!! Great movie but heart breaking. I believe Abby had no idea how God would use her. And look at the impact now!! To God be the GLORY!🕊❤🕊❤🕊❤
@@TheSaintedOne Not as of today but soon I am sure..As soon as it is out of DVD buying it for seed planting video night. Because the movie is about Abby Johnson really..
Kittykitty Katt I understand your sentiment, and maybe there’s no redemption from us unforgiving humans, but redemption in Gods eyes is all that really matters and lucky for us all, God forgives all who truly repent. This lady seems to have repented to the point of taking an unwanted baby into her family.
I admire how she admits that the worst part of her experience was what she failed to do for the infant and mother. Her accountability is amazing! God bless her!
@Kittykitty Katt ... The only One who can say "there is no redemption" -- is the One who hung on the cross and said, "Father forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing. It is FINISHED" ... If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us of ALL unrighteousness ... The Beauty of His Grace!
I had an abortion at 16. I can tell you, from experience, that I know what the terror is like. I understand what it is to be a very young woman, alone, and faced with a tremendous crisis. I can also tell you that after having an abortion, you are never the same. Abortion is devastating.
@@sarakeeet - I’ll agree that a lot of women don’t really want to have an abortion but because of circumstances or pressure from other people they don’t think they have any other choice. There are some women, though, who have abortions like it’s no big deal and they don’t even want to consider alternatives. You said that there are no alternatives. There are other alternatives. A lot of times women don’t know that there are other alternatives and what those alternatives are. Adoption is an alternative. I’m not talking about foster care. I’m talking about private adoption agencies where the waiting lists to adopt an infant have something like 36 sets of available adoptive parents for each infant placed for adoption. The birthmother doesn’t pay anything. The adoptive parents pay the fees. The birthmother can look through profiles and choose which adoptive parents she wants to raise her child. Also semi-open and open adoptions are available. In semi-open, the adoptive parents and birthmother can contact each other through the agency. They don’t know each other’s names, etc. and they don’t meet, but the adoptive parents can send pictures of the child to the birthmother and the adoptive parents and the birthmother can write letters. In open adoption the birthmother and adoptive parents meet. They can keep in touch however they want and can visit. The child is raised knowing the birthmother who is like an extended family member. Also raising the child is an alternative. There are many organizations and individuals who help women with unplanned pregnancies with whatever they need. This help can continue for years sometimes. All assistance is free to the mother. Mothers can get help by ultrasounds, counseling, adoption information, parenting classes, help finding a job, help getting out of an abusive relationship, maternity clothes, baby and toddler clothes, toys, car seats, strollers, cribs, help applying for government assistance programs, and much more. It’s all free. They try to build a relationship with the mother and walk with her through the difficult times. They don’t just hand her a pack of diapers and send her on her way. So there are alternatives even for mothers whose fetuses have received a diagnosis of a fetal anomaly and other difficult situations. There is hope and help. No one should ever have to walk through an unplanned pregnancy alone.
@@sarakeeet There ARE alternatives. When I was 19, not having turned my life around at that point, I got pregnant again but I vowed to never have another abortion. I was able to get help with housing, food stamps, and Medicaid. The social safety net made abortion unnecessary. The social safety net makes ALL abortions unnecessary. And there is help through churches, as well. Later, after I turned my life around, stopped living so recklessly, and made better life choices, I met a wonderful man whom I married and who adopted my son. We've been married now for a thousand years. I didn't have to be alone, I didn't have to carry the sorrow of destroying one of my children, and my son did not have to grow up fatherless. All because I made different choices. My son is the best thing that ever happened to me. He was the catalyst for my transformation.
@@2LooseScrews If you are going to mock someone who is quoting the Bible...no the context of what they are talking about! Your pulling random scripture has nothing to do with what Karen Bass was saying.
@@enlightenedhummingbird5101 What do you suppose then? Should we kill those babies because they were conceived of rape? Why should those children pay for what their fathers did to their mothers? You are suggesting we kill someone because of what 1 person did to another person, really??
@@2LooseScrews -- Yours is a lie straight from HELL! The Bible does not condone slavery. The Bible does tell how to live in a situation, created by others, that you cannot control. Thus, slaves are told the best way to live if caught in slavery. Joseph in the old testament did this and eventually became a top ruler in Egypt because of two things. 1) God made it happen 2) Joseph was honest and good in ALL circumstances.
My mother always told me about raising children " you are raising souls that will roam this earth for about 80 years, the most important job you can do." Moms, and stay at home dads are way underrated, your job is extremely important!!
Amen. Society will tell you that you're not useful unless you're participating in the economy - but humanity and morality are not inherently important in the concept we call "the economy". Nothing could be more important than nurturing the a unique soul that is also the continuation of one's lineage.
People think that women that are stay at home mom are underrated, but ironically the only people you see saying that and shaminh stay at home mom are feminists, i never saw anyone else shaming mom but them.
@@samuelsouza3054 I see sexist men shaming stay at home moms all the time. I think it’s dumb either way to shame moms considering a good/bad mom can change the trajectory of hundreds or potentially millions of lives. Every person is shaped by their parents and just a few people can change the world for the better or worse. Women and men should be encouraged to focus on being a good parent because ultimately it is the most important job to excel at.
As a women that went thru 2 abortions. I am reminded of my crime everyday. God let me know that he forgives me .I just have have to forgive myself. I never will. You should be gifted redemption by God for telling your truth. Keep spreading the truth. I love you as one women to another. May God bless your soul and never stop speaking for the babies. I love your truth.
God does not mean for you to hold on to that pain and sin. He has forgiven you and you need to pray for peace and accept that forgiveness. When you are saved, all your sins are forgiven. Past, present, and future. God loves you and He has a purpose for you. Praying for you.
Rebecca, you should forgive yourself. God has. You will always feel remorse but you still need to forgive yourself. Name your babies and ask their forgiveness. Women are lied to these days and we are living in a world that tells us what we want is what is right. I will pray for you as I do for all women who have abortions that they can forgive themselves and be instruments in God's hands. God has blessed you greatly as regret for our sins is God's grace.
@@bulletanarchy6447 what could be more fiction than believing that causation of nothing is simply something. It's scientific fact that life cannot be formed from inanimate objects such as dirt.
@@hornetpilot1817 The only time life has formed was 4 billion years ago an in theory certain microbial life form could form at random under the right conditions. If life formed today would we even notice ? Life grows from other life via cell division. the human egg is alive, conception does not grow new life it transforms the genetic code of existing life. The egg becomes a zygote, the zygote is the egg, the zygote is living tissue, the age of that living tissue is the age of the egg. The egg cell is the largest human cell, the sperm cell is tiny compared to the egg cell. The egg cell contains the hardware for growth, the sperm cell is basically just an organic data packet.
All surgical - and most medical procedures - are 'unnatural'. It's fine that you are OK with carrying your pregnancy to term, but personal preference doesn't need to be the law of the land.
@@2LooseScrews when did I say it needed to be the law of the land? All I said was I cannot imagine doing it. Don't try to police people's thoughts and opinions.
@@AJBeetle1 All right, I will withdraw the 'law of the land' remark. But what is your actual position on the Roe vs. Wade ruling? That question comes to mind, if you care to accept my challenge.
@@2LooseScrews I don't believe that abortion should be completely illegal, if that's your question. I'm not American and I've never lived there so I don't know as much about Roe V Wade as others so you might be better asking an American. I live in Australia and the state I am in recently legalised abortion, which I was in support of. I am a medical professional (forgive me for not being more specific but I like my RU-vid account to remain anonymous) and I believe that legalising abortion doesn't need to go hand in hand with ignoring facts and twisting truths, and encouraging abortion. Our first exchange here is a good example - I say that I think abortion is unnatural and you automatically assume that means that I am a prolifer who thinks all abortion should be illegal. In fact I'm just basing this on my own personal experience and on numerous scientific studies that show mothering instincts begin well before birth. So I stand by my statement that abortion is unnatural. It's as if it's a social crime to state this fact. I dislike this idea that just because it's been legalised we all have to pretend that it's a wonderful thing, that the baby is just a clump of cells and that there's no downside to it. Abortion is pretty horrible and I think the reason there are so many women who regret their abortions in because we lie to them and pretend it isn't a big deal and there will be no negative mental health issues because of it. For some women this is true, but for others they do suffer and I believe that this is medically irresponsible. We shouldn't be messing around with a woman's life like that (or the baby's, for that matter). If she wants to explore abortion as an option then I think it's only fair that she goes into it with her eyes wide open knowing the full facts about her baby's current development and the potential negative health effects it will have on her. There is no other optional medical procedure where people aren't given the full facts, but for some reason with abortion we have banned "trigger" words and have to hide elements of the truth from women. We pretend it's something it isn't and I think this is wrong. So my position is that abortion should be legal, but we should face up to what it really is and not expect women to be emotionless robots when ending a life that is growing inside then which nature has programmed them to protect. Prepare them for the potential mental health issues that will arise by being honest and stop fucking patronising them by not giving them the full story. There's enough instances through history of women not being treated like intelligent adults when it comes pregnancy and childbirth, and I would like the health care industry to move away from that now. We can do better by women as a society by treating them like adults.
I drove 2 hrs away to get plan B at abortion clinic telling myself that's the only way I'd do it. They told me I was 3 days late and abortion was only way. I left and have a beautiful, fun, kind, overly loving to the point it's like ..are you still 3? So glad I was 2 days late
we Christians who love Jesus with every ounce of our being will endure your mocking, your hatred, your anger, your slap in the face..and we will always be the first to run to you when you need us the most. That is because Jesus, while WE were still sinners, died for us.
@@bulletanarchy6447 😀i've noticed and read quite a few of the comments you posted but i really don't want to get into a war of words. I have never had an abortion, thank God but i know how very much i regret the other mistakes i've made and God says sin is sin so i have no room to judge. I was just shocked when i heard they fit the pieces aborted together to check that the dr removed everything. It's easy to comment, but my heart aches for the babies and the women who chose to abort and now have to live with the regret and shame. Aaaand i was stunned ( because i hadn't read yr other posts yet) that aborting a baby in the 3rd trimester wasn't shocking to u. Keep well!!
Being Pro Choice also allows you to use artificial birth control. Being Pro Life is against using any forms of birth control. Birth control is an alternative to abortion and that is a fact.
We are not against contraception, we are against murder. Do not attempt to skew the issue, by alleging "pro lifers, are against contraception." We are against the taking of an innocent life from the womb.
@@casianocarlos1155 The different between ProLife and ProChoice, ProLife are also for procreation, and are against all forms of birth control. ProChoice is not always for abortion as I consider my self ProChoice and ProChoice does not condemn the use of artificial birth control.
Patrick Saxon Patrick no chastity is. We have polluted our culture about lust and sex. My parents taught me chastity. I don't listen like you. They were married sixty years nine children. Great people. I was the hippie generation and I rebelled. I'm sixty five now. I'm a witness to a life that wants a redo. I wish I had listened to my parents. They were right.
Brought back a couple bad memories for me and I'm wrecked. I'm not a crier about much, though I feel things very deeply. But the murder of my babies and my participation in it is always difficult to re-live. My first one, I had no clue, wasn't ready to be a mom, didn't even really like kids, and was told it's just tissue, not a baby yet. Wrong. I was medicated enough to not feel too much pain, so there was no explanation for the abject terror and heart wrenching loss, and anguish I felt as though someone had murdered my child right in front of me unless it was not "just tissue". I had a miscarriage my second pregnancy at about 6 weeks and yes, it was painful, as it was ectopic, but I was at home alone when the "tissue" passed. This was confusing, because it did indeed look like a blob of tissue. I felt that loss almost as profoundly as the first one. The third pregnancy, my second abortion, I asked again about tissue vs baby. I knew better, but was trying to fool myself. I actually told the doctor to stop. I knew he hadn't actually started yet, but he got up in my face and said if I didn't stay still and quiet, he wouldn't be held responsible for ripping up my uterus. I wasn't successful and he did scar me up pretty badly. I was told later on that I wouldn't be able to carry a baby to term if I were to get pregnant again. I don't know that I've ever made the sound that I did during those losses. And I know I have never felt such a loss so deeply. It's very different from not witnessing the passing of a loved one or even the loss of a beloved pet. This was a severing of a connection of two souls that was immediately felt. I've been forgiven and accepted that forgiveness, though I can remember it like it just happened. It's forever seared into my whole being. I thank God that he blessed me with a beautiful, inside and out, healthy, intelligent daughter a few years later. I applaud you, Abby, for speaking out about this, though I have no idea how you maintain your poise.
Kellie, I am SO sorry you experienced that level of loss. I wonder if you would mind if I share your testimony with women entering the abortion facility near me. I want so badly to warn them in a way that they will be receptive to.
@@gracesuchyna3462 You're welcome to do so. In my experience it's those who are still on the fence about whether they should do it or not who need to hear it. I don't know that anyone could have stopped me the first time even had I been told it IS a being with a soul, but I could be wrong. I have the full story of it through S J Thompson off Twitter in a blog. It may be in my Moments. My Twitter is @kelliegirl1069
Kellie R I cannot believe this doctor said that to you!!!! That is absolutely DISGUSTING!! I think you should have got his name and reported him, threatening you like that!!! Just goes to show it is all about the $$$ to them....Nothing to do with helping women! I am so sad that you had to endure this kind of treatment.... its such a dishonest industry.... preying on young girls and women who are scared and vulnerable.
When I hear stories like the one she told about adopting their little boy, it just BLOWS MY MIND!!! As an infertile couple, we have attempted to bring a child into our family in EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY.....and it hasn’t worked out. Surrogacy that resulted in miscarriage almost DESTROYED me. Fostering children with the hope of eventual adoption was, in some ways, even more deviating: we had to watch children we had cared for be put back into the hands of the drug addicted woman who had almost killed them in the first place! Private adoption was like a row of horrific dominos, as young mothers change their minds after the baby is born. We would take ANY baby! Black, white, purple, deaf, mute, blind....it doesn’t matter!!!! We have SO MUCH love to give a child!!!!😢😢😭😭😭😭
Lord here is a woman wants so much to share your love. I pray you reveal your plan to her but also give her peace that You haven't forsaken this mission. This I ask in Jesus Name, Amen.
SouthernIowaLady thank you, and God Bless you for taking the time to give of yourself through prayer! I am grateful and humbled in the face of such beauty and compassion❤️
I will pray for you to have our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to bless you and help you find a child to adopt and love. I hope you find this child you can love and call your son or daughter soon.
What was the cause of infertility? Not to be to nosy but I do know NaproTechnology has helped many who had virtually no hope with their infertility to having children after fixing the underlying problem.
I had an abortion 7 years ago and it was the most painful, life-altering decision I ever made. My soul was immediately torn apart and I've spent 7 years numb. I finally participated in a post-abortive support group. So happy I made that choice. Anyone who may be in these comments that has had an abortion and carries with them guilt, numbness, anger, or experiences flashbacks; I encourage you to reach out for healing. And those who have not had an abortion, I encourage you not to destroy yourself in this way
There are 20 times more zygotes that were formed intentionally but die before being born than there are zygotes that were formed accidentally and were aborted. The innate collateral loss of zygotes involved with human procreation itself makes the situation non comparable to a born person. To attach responsibility for a life created when no such life can be created without putting that life in excessive mortal danger means that an unborn could never be viewed in the same terms of what is acceptable for a born person.
This moved me beyond words. I am so thankful to Abby for telling her story. There are little things that we can do too. As a man, I think one of the easiest is to help boys become men. Men that don't leave a woman feeling that she doesn't have a choice. Men that will become good fathers.
The best thing that men can do - at least in regards to relationship and family issues - is to ensure that contraception is used in intimacy, when both partners wish to avoid pregnancy. Many men are responsible in condom usage, and that is to their (and our) credit.
Being honest comes first - not sex, boys and girls...Grow up so you can act responsibly whenever a pregnancy occurs (naturally). Artificial birth control is never 100% and is actually immoral whether you're married or not, so commitment and a genuine relationship matters the most. Marriage is not supposed to be temporary BECAUSE of the 'family' aspects (by design) - and living together (as a 'test run'), 'hooking up' or dating for months or years while behaving as if you are married does not encourage people to mature or even get to know each other well. Look at the wreckage since the 1960s - and the explosion of STDs as well as in deaths by abortion, abuse, etc. Shouldn't we all be doing much better, if we're all so smart now?
Thank goodness Abby came forward and is now speaking the truth. "Providing third trimester" abortions is just as appalling as a 5 week abortion because it is about the LIFE of the human being inside the mother's body.
I went throughout an abortion. I truly have repented and I became #ProLife. I am now the voice of the voiceless. I am a drummer, an advocate for babies.
Me too.... I regretted the day after. I was young and stupid. Ignorant of my actions and the consequences that affected me and my family. The irony to my story is that while I was growing up I was church going every Sunday and I appreciated life. I trully believed life was precious and I had made up my mind that I was never ever gong to have an abortion when I become an adult. I was 10 years old when I made that decision. I was a young adult in my 20's, and trusted the wrong guy to be married to that made us homeless, jobless, and broke. I was engaged to him and I got pregnant. I gave birth to that baby. While my first born was 5 months pregnant my family could tell that I was pregnant again even though I am like no way...I can't be pregnant. Turns out I was. Though I was pressured to have an abortion to my first pregnancy I said "No it's a sin". With my second pregnancy I was lost. I didn't know how was I going to take care of 2 babies with a fiance who was never honest and trustworthy. He was never able to put his life in order to have a family. So I ended up having the abortion at 5 weeks while my firstborn was 5 months old. After a while I found strength to put an end to this sharade and picked up the pieces of my life. I prayed and begged for forgiveness. God has blessed me with a Godly man in my life that accepted my first born and raised as his own, couple years later we had another child and some years later we had our last baby. Now My firstborn is 21 had an abortion her self and recently had a missed abortion as they call it. I pray that God will make her change her view on abortion...that's why I am pro-life.
7 minutes in, she starts talking of procedures in planned parenthood, and what she witnessed....being the director of the clinic with no medical training...she is very honest, her description of the ultrasound guided abortion made me cry, but at least it brought her out of the darkness into the realization of what she was doing. So glad she is now pro life and wants to support women and tell them the truth of whats happening in these clinics.
Originally, Planned Parenthood used to be the American Birth Control League as the founder Margret Sanger never intended her clinic to offer abortion services. Back in the 1920s, birth control was illegal and she fought for the rights of married couples to have access to birth control, as she has witness women who had committed abortions on them selves, causing many death among them selves. It was during the time of the depressions and women could no longer afford to have any more children. As a nurse, she worked with a doctor to help women who commited abortions on them selves. That is what she started the American Birth Control League. But sadly many christians hate her for promoting birth control.
@@patricksaxon3983 You need to increase your research on Sanger... alot. She was very much a racist, a eugenicist, and believed in sterilization without choice particularly for those she deemed as "feeble-minded, idiots, or morons" (her own words); to which she included any minorities, in particular blacks. While she may not have offered abortion services, she very much overlooked them when they did happen and thought it was "okay". She may not have been the one holding the bloody knife but she did set the stage for it to happen. Sanger is in the same league as Hilter, they had the same ideals when it came to race just different ways of killing people, need to keep the world pure you know. By far Sanger's method has proven the most effective with people accepting abortion as normal, Hitlers Regime killed in total around 18 million, include Stalin in that to add another 5-6 million for approximately 24 million people dead. Abortion alone has killed over 60 million in the United States alone since 1973, 1.1 BILLION world wide. And yes I can lay that at Sangers feet, it was her example that started the ball rolling.
@@laeinea To begin with, Margaret Sanger was not even alive in 1973, as she had passed away in 1968. She founded the American Birth Control League, not the American Abortion League. Back in the depression, birth control was illegal and as a nurse, she assisted a doctor in the ghettos helping out the poor as she had witness many women who had commited abortions on them selves and many had bleed to death doing their own abortions, due to not being able to afford any more children. That was why she founded the American Birth Control League, to educated many of the poor women to learn about artificial birth control. Regardless of how safe and advanced abortion procedures were, Margaret Sanger never felt that abortion was safe. Far as the other false rumors that you have mentioned, I heard the same from angry ProLife christians, because she lead the path to women towards the birth control movement and as you know, many ProLife are against any forms of artificial birth control. Yes, I have done my research and the comment is about a breaf history of what became Planned Parenthood. I know that many of you angry ProLife Christians wants to make up stories and false assumptions, just because women today can now choose to have children or not have children. Because of your religion, forbids any use of artificial birth control. Margaret Sanger is a legend for women's rights to birth control. Birth control is an alternative to abortions and that is a fact!
@@patricksaxon3983 why are you even talking ? You are a man this isn't your stage to be speaking on. This is a women's matter so go do something useful besides being on a women's platform.
In 2006 and up I was living in Colorado, and my church used to go to these clinics to pray against the abortion, our prayers were for these clinics to close door, and for the doctors to come to salvation. Glory to God
We "escaped" California eight years ago. We are conservative all the way and wanted to live in a place where those values are upheld and that place is TEXAS!!!!!

@@bethjudkins7716 Have a child when you are ready for one, screw all this shit trying to make you have one when you don't want one and screw anti abortion if you want an abortion have one.
She's right toward the end there about people changing their minds. I was extremely pro-choice, and I changed my mind... big time. And I was mostly 'converted' to the pro-life side by the time I got pregnant the first time myself and then I lost my baby at about 13 weeks. I saw what she looked like. At that point, that was the end of any "exceptions" or anything like that for me. It was just so traumatizing seeing her and realizing just how undeniable it is that that is a human being. I obviously knew that already, but it's something else when you see it in person. Also, someone very close to me used to be pro-choice as well and actually paid for one for someone once and this person feels extremely guilty about it now and is very much pro-life. So, lots of people out there are changing their minds. So pro-lifers, don't get discouraged. Sometimes it seems like we're not getting anywhere, but that's the thing. You're not really going to realize someone changed their mind, they just quietly appear among the pro-lifer and you think they have always thought that way when they actually used to be pro-abortion.
@Kelly Targett The alternatives to abortion are common knowledge: giving up the baby for adoption, or accepting the new role as parent and raising the child. Since PP isn't an adoption agency, they should not be expected to act as one. What they do that is key is providing contraception and education about this, to prevent accidental pregnancies from happening to begin with.
@Kelly Targett to examine your argument further - a 'young confused teen' (whom we could presume to be pregnant) could either want the baby or not. If she actually wanted the baby, then she could try and persuade the father-to-be to marry her, and start a family with her. If that wasn't feasible, then she could either have and raise the baby alone (or with help from her family), or give it up for adoption. If she chooses to terminate the pregnancy, that is likely because it's simply the most convenient solution to her situation. Consider the fact that something like 1 in 3 of all women have a pregnancy terminated at one time in her life. That speaks less to the morality of abortion (which is obvious a matter of controversy) than to it's convenience. With that said, I haven't seen that October baby flick, and I also wish you a good night Kelly.
zzevonplant The United States has had a major shift in the last few years. Before, most people were pro choice, but now it’s an even split. Most of the change has been young people, who are more prolife than any generation in a long time. There’s also a growing movement of agnostic and atheist prolifers. It’s not good news for churches, but it’s very good news for fetuses.
You do realize that being ProLife also means being against artificial birth control. I consider my self ProChoice, because I am for birth control, but not for abortion.
People do change their minds from pro choice to pro life but it's mostly people who have decided they will never need abortion any more due to their circumstances and screw anyone that still does.
Cried through this whole video as Jesus wrecked my heart. What a blessing you are for being strong and courageous and speaking out for the things that break Jesus heart and bringing awareness. Praying for you and your family to continue to be a blessing and to be blessed.
Renee Henderson What in the world??? How did Jesus wreck your heart? That's not even scriptural. He doesn't wreck hearts. Am I to assume that you are an "evangelical" (they tend to be overly emotional, IMO)? Also, how do you know that abortion breaks Jesus' heart? There's no place in the Bible that says that "the products of conception" (e.g. morula, blastocyst, embryo, fetus) are given a soul (which is what makes us "in the image of God"). In fact, the Bible actually tells us that God breathes in the soul at birth, not while "it" is in the womb, just as He did w/ Adam & Eve. As a fyi, I'm a Christian. I'm anti-abortion (except under certain conditions), & I'm pro-human life.

Nevil McGuinness What?! You mean a dramatic recreation of a baby being suctioned to death isn’t real?! Next thing you’ll be telling me that they didn’t actually sink a huge ship full of people to film “Titanic”
They don't even care about the women who get them. They don't sterilize their tools nor keep extra blood stores in case of emergencies or check up on the women afterward whether they had complications or not.
A baby is a gift from God. I cried listening to this. I could never have children and to see a unborn or born baby being killed. It hurts my soul. God bless those little angels.
If all babies are divine gifts, then why are there so many unwanted and unplanned pregnancies? Why so many miscarriages? Is that a case of God saying "whoops - changed my mind!"?
Ioulia 07 I get that rape is a horrible thing and it can be traumatizing. You’d be surprised at how many women choose to keep the baby and give it up for adoption. Some of them become doctors and other great things. Lots of babies are gifts from god including those conceived out of rape. The baby is not the at fault for the rape, so please allow the rapists to take all the fire and heat. Btw hope you have a blessed day.
I expect the achievements of adopted children are not statistically much different from other children but it sounds a bit ominous when you say some of them did ok it's like saying there is a small chance they will do ok
I felt the same. It wasn't just blood, because I have seen the emergency room, wounds etcetera a lot. But it's the grief and deep sorrow I've pushed down for so long about it. Voting, marching, calling, and some tried bombing. It's just progressively worse. I want to be the loving, respectful, praying person at the fence.
Sending you love, Janey. May we both find our way. May God fill us with love for the planned parenthood staff and the scared moms, and give us the words.
My oldest son is 20 and he was born at 25 weeks gestation. He was a fully formed baby and even though the doctors told me he wouldn't cry because he can't breathe on his own, he would be 1 pound 10 oz. If I was lucky and more then likely he wouldn't survive. The second they pulled him out he cried, he was 2 pounds 5 1/2 oz. And he is now 20 years old. I was 16 when I had him, we spent 14 weeks in the NICU but we did it. If I can do it at 16 anyone can do it and if not there are people who will. I then had 3 misscarages over the years and the doctors said we couldn't have kids. Well thank God we have our miracle, and then I got pregnant again. The doctors said your gonna miscarry like before so let's just do it I said no. Then at 21 weeks my testing came back higher then normal for down syndrome so I had to have more testing. Now we had already decided that we we're having testing only to be prepared. I didn't care that my son, yes we knew he was a boy, might have downsyndrome, and we told them that. I swear they told me at least 100 more time just know that if the test comes back positive byou have until 24 weeks to terminate. Are you kidding me? This baby feels, I can poke him and he will kick me, he jumps when there is a loud noise. How do they not feel. Come on people. If you don't want a baby use protection. It's not that hard. Abortion is not a method of birth control!
but did you stop to think how much money you'd spend on having a child?, and that sometimes being a parent is hard for most parents because of people like you telling them lies, and making them think that childrearing is a fun and pleasant job, I'm 21, and I have ADHD, OCD and possible depression/anxiety, so I can tell you that growing up wasn't easy for me, hell, for anyone.
@@CutePanda99 nothing will justify murder. If we say we are killing this baby because life will be tough for me financially and emotionally, then we give permission for anyone going through a tough time to kill their already born children to prevent any future pain. Use protection or don’t have sex if you’re not ready for the consequences. And rape isn’t an excuse either. We shouldn’t punish the child for the horrible thing a man did. We should find the man and punish him.
How can anyone hear this woman speak and not be pro-life after hearing her talk. I am a white straight man. I don't want kids but if I ever did get woman pregnant abortion would not be an issue if she wanted one I would try to convince her to take my child to term and then i would take responsibility for MY child. It takes a man and a woman to make a child a man should have a say in that child development. Even before that child is born life begins at conception not at delivery
Simply because God gave me a choice & I respect that he gave that same choice to others. That’s why I’m pro-choice. I’ve listened & watched women make the choice for abortion, I hated it but I respected it because they are women, they have choices just as I have the choice to listen & understand without judgement.
@@incanada83 women cant get pregnant on their own loool. Its selfish to think its only her choice. Its both the man and womans choice. Think of it like this. The guy and girl decide to adopt a puppy. But they walked to the store. Now the guy is carrying it home. Does the guy get 100%right and choice to decide to kill it cos its suddenly an inconvenience? Not at all. It's both their puppy. They both need to maturely make decisions regarding the puppy. Anyone that can't see that is just immature and unreasonable.
@@incanada83 also I'm responsible for my actions. Just like im not gonna do something dangerous and blame someone else for my injuries... If I could get pregnant id man up and take responsibility for what I've brought into being.
She is so right. The goal is to change the hearts of people toward Abortion! They have to know what it is, what does to babies, women and families. It starts in the heart.
Birth control is an alternative to abortions. Women already knows how to prevent pregnacies, they shoud use artificial birth control than taking the risk of un-safe sex which leads to STD's.
Ok by now showings are over. A DVD should be coming out in a few months. In NY there will probably be more than one church showing that DVD it you could get it for yourself.
This was a real eye opener. Absolutely mortifying. Once upon a time I was pro-choice. I changed my belief system several years ago, not because I had even heard of Abby, but my conscience told me it was wrong. Watching this and some of her other videos cemented that belief.. it made it real. I dont understand why this hasnt had more views.
@@patricksaxon3983 that's not true at all. Pro life means you're against the murder of babies after conception. birth control is a form of contraceptive
@@DoodooBreath Nope, being Pro Life also means being against all forms of birth control, and there are pro life groups wanting to make birth control illegal.
Rape is also wrong. What do we tell those young women who are impregnated against their will by their father, brother or uncle? What about them? Who will raise their children? Especially if they come out deformed or severely handicapped? Should these young women be charged for life with this task, in addition to having been raped/molested?
@@enlightenedhummingbird5101 that constitutes less than .003% of all cases of pregnancy in the US. Why are you using an extreme example to justify the casual murder of 99.997% of children... why are you justifying the murder of 800 black children everyday?
@@williamturner6192 It's not awful news, did you not watch it ? Duh! it turned out ok she adopted the kid , oh I see what you mean, poor little bastard
I thought the same thing. She reminds me of the Apostle Paul. Going against God and then being shown the truth and is now used by God to help His Kingdom.
Only in a very, very small way as the poster, TRUSTJESUS33. has stated. She's fighting a great cause by teaching both men & women about the process of abortions from start to finish, & revealing the evils of Planned Parenthood. She's not, however, a Bible scholar, nor does she perform miracles, speak in foreign languages, heal the sick, or spend a great deal of her life penning God's thoughts & his own experiences w/ God & the other Apostles, all while being imprisoned. She also has not seen God in person. So, unlike what the poster, SouthernIowaLady, state, this former Planned Parenthood employee is NOT a "perfect example" of "modern day Paul".
..and yet, we have so many "Christian" churches, all Protestant, that have doctrines that OK abortion. If you are in a church that thinks abortion is acceptable under any circumstance, flee from it! I sure did. We need to pray for any Christian that thinks abortion is a merciful choice.
On behalf of real followers of Christianity I can whole heartedly say that it is NOT ok in any circumstance 👍🏼 lukewarm Christians are being lied to and just need to know the truth jus how I was until I came to Jesus..
"At a time when America is debating how far we can push abortion laws - sometimes even up to the point of birth - this story flips the whole debate upside-down. Think about it: Over half a dozen rescue workers in South Africa spent hours digging and searching in a storm drain, and then called a helicopter, to save a baby that clearly was not wanted. Had the baby not survived, the whole mission would have been considered a failure. When it comes to these types of situations, we always give life the benefit of the doubt. If someone is trapped in a building that has caught fire, firefighters don’t stop and debate if the person is worth saving. They rush into the burning building, putting their own lives at risk, to save the other. In fact, they would get in trouble if they didn’t act. But when it comes to abortion, we suspend this sense of urgency to protect life. We turn it into a debate about when a life becomes worth saving. This logic falls apart quickly when you ask: What is the difference between a fully-formed baby who is a few inches away inside the mother’s womb, and a three-day-old baby who is 20 feet underground in a storm drain? For me, there’s only one clear choice in this debate: We must protect life, in all its forms and stages. From the womb all the way to the tomb, life is inherently valuable. It’s a holy gift from God." --Fox Opinion Article Feb. 22, 2019
It's a public presentation called the silent scream it was a documentary made years ago that shows an ultra sound of an abortion where the baby is trying to get away from the instrument and you can see the baby's mouth opening obviously trying desperately to scream the doc. Is over an hour long that clip is only a few minutes but I actually saw the ultrasound clip in high school believe it or not crazy we all had to agree that we wanted to see it but anyways yeah it's public film I'm sure the supreme Court is making enough on abortion and baby parts kick backs that they don't care it's disgusting
An amazing woman she has brought me to tears. I'm glad I was born as I was unwanted but my Nana wanted me so convinced my mum to have me because I didn't have a voice. Those babies need someone to fight for them ♥️
How in the heck are there only 15,000 views on this? I'm sharing this link with everyone I know. I am so grateful for your testimony and your change of heart.
I know two women personally who have lost their children, one of them a little baby girl lost while still in the womb after a critical car wreck, and another lost a little two-year-old boy in a house fire. It's been a truly devastating year for those families. However at the same time, my uncle's wife just had her baby, and about two weeks ago my sister in law had her little baby boy, AND my sister is due in the next couple of months! It really gets you thinking about the existence of life and the importance of life. It gets you thinking about how beautiful these lives are and how beautiful they can become. My uncle and his wife almost lost their baby due to nutrition complications and it could've easily been a devastating time for my relatives - but guess what, they have their beautiful little baby now and they had it even throughout those scary complications. That's true love and power and the beauty of life. Thank God for the gift he has given women, the ability to conceive and nurture a child up until birth - and men for the ability to assist and be there when the woman cannot, It's truly a holy and wonderful thing.
Watching this at work was the wrong thing to do 😭 ugh God my heart is crying out because the enemy could have gotten me but the HOLY SPIRIT stepped in and now I have a beautiful 2 year old son who is the best thing to ever happen to me and he is the reason I love the Lord and value my life and his life so much Praise God but my heart is killing me 😭😭 ugh lord the image she gave me in my head of that procedure was just heart wrenching 😭😞
God has a special mission for you too now that you know the reality. So be brave and stand up for what's right. Join the pro lifers and help defend the unborn. Go out and be the voice for these unborn babies. It is our job to do so. God bless :)
I wasn't blessed with children! I became a teacher & consider almost all my students to be my children ! Its joyous to have them in my life! I can imagine what it must be like to have one of your very own! It breaks my heart that "pro-choice" women ,can dispose of a life(that they were blessed to have in the first place ).without any remorse or understanding that they have committed murder! When I listen to folks like Abby Johnson, it renews my spirit to know that she is out there fighting for the lives of these precious children, who are true miracles of God! May she continue with her work to educate women about the evils of abortion & hopefully obliterate this abhorrent practice!
Abby Johnson, what a beautiful speech. Second video I've seen of yours. Thank you for your continued efforts to expose Planned Parenthood for the baby killing business that it is.
The actual term for 'baby killing' is infanticide. It's curious that even the most virulent 'pro-lifers' avoid using that term - just as they almost never use the correct term 'fetus' for life in utero.
@@2LooseScrews fetus is Greek and Latin for baby anyway, isn't it? Legally infanticide is after birth or when the fetus is surviving outside so there is a difference here.
It's amazing to me that anyone would think she is lying. The idea that their God of child sacrifice could be taken away from them is so hateful to them that they aren't even willing to humble themselves and consider the idea that she is telling the truth. That she is actually trying to help save us from ourselves and our blood lust and selfishness. We need voices like hers who have been there and seen the evil around us. Let us hear and repent and change our hearts before it's too late.
As passionately PRO LIFE, I am always so heartened by her testimony, especially when she helps counter the argumentative lies of the Pro Abortion advocates. It is amazing how many who worked in the abortion industry have become PRO LIFE activists, many inspired by Abby's story, and her organization And Then There Were None. God bless her.
hi Abby, thank you for your testimony "there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous who have no need to repent" Luke 15:7

God bless you, dear Abby!! I've been praying against abortion since the 1980's....and gave up, after I saw zero results, probably 10 years later....but I'm have ramped up my prayers against abortion once again and heros like you are the reason I'm back in prayer to stop abortion..... I've wanted to become involved with the pro-life movement, but could never figure out how, because I never had an abortion, so therefore I felt unqualified to be active at a pregnancy center. I guess I'm just a closet prayer warrior....but, I am so grateful to the Lord that He has and is raising up people like yourself to stand, firm, for those who are totally vulnerable and unable to fight back....my heart has broken many, many times over murdered babies... If I could, I'd rescue all of them! I love them! Thank you dearly for standing and fighting for our precious babies, who actually Do have the Right to Life!!! Btw, all abortionists and their workers had mothers who Chose Life! Ironic, isn't it. Again, God bless you, Abby!! 🌺🕊🌺
I thought the whole point of Planned Parenthood was supposed to be prevention, not abortion. I’ve learned it’s the other way around with them and it’s disgusting. God bless your work!!!
Unless it’s prevention through avoiding sex until marriage and avoiding marriage until you have thoroughly vetted a man to make sure he will care for you and any children conceived then it’s hardly “family planning”. Planned Parenthood gets away with it because they and unfortunately most people view sex as supposed to be separate from procreation so we “need” birth control and condoms because we “can’t” help ourselves from having sex. There are people who have said PP has given gem expired pills and condoms before. Know that the only “family planning” they care about is really “get pregnant and hen give us money to kill it because kids aren’t good”. If we taught men to respect themselves and women and children enough to wait for marriage and women the same, then abortions, “unwanted pregnancy”, std rates, assault, and many other relationship problems would go away. Rather than worrying about “am I pregnant” you can focus on your studies and getting to know someone as well as possible before deciding if you are willing to give them your body for life. Sex IS meant to be good. But not all sex is good. If we teach people to set themselves up for success then it reduce the chance of women ending up with deadbeats who treat women like “scores” and men ending up with women who don’t respect them and will divorce at a whim. We shouldn’t need to have sex to know if it’s “the right person”, after all we can love our parents, children, siblings, and friends without having sex with them. Think about how well you know your sibling, parent , or friend. Do you want to marry someone like them? Then talk about big issues and small like children, politics, how they treat their parents, how the women in the family are treated, are they abusive, do they keep a job or do they get fired a lot, are they willing to find better work to care for a family, do they watch porn, do they “need” sex before marriage, etc. That’s family planning. Family planning starts WELL before you get pregnant and it should start before you enter a relationship.
@@timefoolery When a person gets an abortion, they can choose to donate the aborted fetus to medical research. All abortion clinics, Planned Parenthood or not, provide this option. However, preserving and transporting the delicate tissue is an expensive operation. The research clinics who receive the tissue pay for the preserving and transporting - they do not pay for the actual tissue itself. This is exactly the same as with any donated tissue, such as, say, a heart. This is ONLY when the recipient of her abortion signs a declaration that they would like tissue used for further medical research, which PP gets NO money for, all costs are paid for by the hospital or medical research facility, and still only in cases where all parties agree to this in order to further research in areas like stem cells. You're omitting some important information, pro or anti, that info is still important. You're making it sound like they murder babies and sell their bodies. There's no "sale". Please complete research before stating half truths.
UPDATE: I am leaving the original post in honor of several wonderful people I know who were conceived in rape and now they fight the battle to save the lives of other preborn babies. I accidentally found my biological father through a home DNA test. He is deceased but I spoke to his sister (my aunt) and my half-brother and they both assure me that I was NOT conceived in rape. They told me what they thought happened and it rings true. My birthmother said rape to the adoption agency, her mother, and her husband at the time. It makes sense. She was trying to protect herself. The reality is that I was conceived in an affair or a one night stand. I’m leaving the original post because I feel it has value. The fact is that even though I was not conceived in rape, she still had many “reasons” why she could’ve aborted me. But she didn’t. I was conceived in rape, just like Abby’s son Jude. My birthmother let me live and then placed me for adoption because she was not in a good place in her life and couldn’t raise me. So when people say that victims of rape and incest should abort their babies it makes me angry and sad. I would not be here except for the fact that my mother didn’t choose to kill me. According to the world, she had many reasons to abort me. Thank God she didn’t.
cmmahoney21 I will never understand why some people want to kill the baby that was conceived in rape and no mention of the man who committed the crime, no wanting to kill him. A husband rapes his wife and they already have children do they pro-choice people want those children to die? Pro-choice is so hypocritical they take the choice and rights away from another human being who is totally defenceless. Thank you so much for you story
I will never understand, if a man rapes a woman it is the baby that is given a death sentence, the baby did not commit any crime, and yet the rapist who committed the crime is allowed to live?
@@eddiewood7573 It is entirely at the discretion of the pregnant woman the same as it is for a child conceived in any way. You don't get to decide whether what she is reproducing gets to become a born person, she does, you should mind your own business.
"the scandalous grace of God." brought me to tears!!! and the part about the man falling to his knees thanking God i mean what a testimony. Prayer moves mountains and i will never stop praying for the pro deathers hearts to be softened and for the blinders to be removed from their eyes
@@theworshipsinger Did God protect the innocent children and the unborn of the enemies of his Chosen People when he ordered their pregnant women to be cut open and for his followers to bash the children against rocks? I'd like to know just exactly how pro-life the Bible is.
Abby - a great champion for the UNBORN !! Thank you for all that you are doing to expose the EVIL of the whole abortion industry. God bless you & your family!
There are hundreds of thousands of people worldwide that are sentenced to death because of where they were born. amp.businessinsider.com/genocides-still-going-on-today-bosnia-2017-11 Maybe start with prevention of abortion - and look at the globe we live on and try to find a way to reverse the actual genocides that are currently happening.
@leisel Santiago what about making all contraceptives available to all kids starting at, let's say, 10 or 11, and having full and complete sex education at the same age with free, easy access, to all birth control pills, condoms, iud's, rings, spermicide foam, everything, again, for free, for everyone, available at school, and at easy to access non profits, all across the country, with teaching children about their bodies starting at about the same age, repeating the education age appropriately, every year, and completely removing religion from the equation so these kids, and eventually adults, don't feel shame regarding their bodies, sex, contraception, and prevention of pregnancy. THAT'S a start. Why not PREVENT the problem before it starts. Most young kids that get pregnant admit that they're either from super religious backgrounds, had zero sex education, or had abstinence only sex education. If it's drugs related, open FREE rehab programs, and again age appropriate education starting at around 10 or 11 continuing every year through age 18. The same way we eliminated small pox, measles, mumps, whooping cough, rubella, etc. It works. Prevention works. Of you allow it to. If JUST that happened, education and free easy accessibility (TO EVERYONE AT EVERY AGE) contraception of all kinds, the rates of anyone wanting/needling abortions would plummet. Ask the countries that do that. THAT'S a start.
Danielle Rom Along with the education they should also be told that they are not animals in heat who can’t control themselves! Sex is a CHOICE(normally), one that really CAN WAIT until you’re married. I teach my children respect for the spouse of that person. Someday that person will likely marry someone. Do you think it’s right for you to be having sex with that person’s husband or wife? There are also serious, lifelong problems that can occur when you have multiple sexual partners. There’s no shame in waiting until you’re married to have sex. It’s a beautiful and special thing between a husband and wife to know that you are the only one that has been with the other. My husband and I both cherish that fact.
@@myacrylicjourney624 its also usually not something that can be reasonably expected. In your teen years ALL your hormones are telling you to do its have sex. Yes you can have self control. No you don't need to have sex indiscriminately with everyone you meet. But do you HAVE to wait until marriage? I think that's silly. Sex is a healthy part of a loving relationship when you reach a point in your life where you can handle that responsibility. If you are able to go to a gynaecologist, get on birth control, and have safe sex in a healthy relationship, with an open healthy relationship with your parents, where you are able to ask questions, learn about your own body, learn about what sex is, learn what a yeast infection is, learn what a urinary tract infection is, learn what to do when those things happen. Sex isn't just, marry, missionary, baby, and it never will be. To expect teens not to have sex is entirely unreasonable. If you look at statistics for states that teach abstinence and states that teach birth control, the state's that teach birth control have lower abortion rates. Why would that be? Because those teens are taught how to have safe sex and where to access birth control affordably (usually free), even if they don't have parents they can go to. Heavily religious, abstinence only areas have higher teen pregnancy rates and higher abortion rates. If you really really want to reduce abortion rates - teach safe sex and provide prophylactics. It's been proven to work. Period. Teens should be taught that masterbation is natural and normal and healthy. Sex is something that they will eventually do and there are options. What if you get married, want to have sex, but don't want to have a baby? What if you wait until marriage and find out after you're married that you're not sexually compatible? That might suck a little. "Well work on it". Or you could choose to be with someone you're more sexually compatible with. Won't know unless you try. Better not kiss either. What if she gives you a cold sore? Relax, educate, remove religion from sex entirely, they don't belong together (the bible also explains how to abort a baby, so really don't use that, ew), and hopefully raise informed, healthy young adults. There's no shame in having had more than one sex partner if you're safe. And no you're not an animal in heat if you have a healthy sex drive. Take your teen to a doctor to talk about the physical and medical side and a therapist to talk about the psychological side. I wish I had parents that had done that. I got birth control myself when I was 17, I had safe sex, with the pill and condoms, I learned about my body, I learned what I liked and didn't like, I learned different things from different relationships. Im glad I did. I then got married at 21 and have had an extremely healthy sex life with my husband, which has also been a beautiful thing. Just as beautiful as any other loving physical couple. You're no better than anyone that had multiple sex partners. Have you ever been to a planned parenthood? Do you know that abortions are less than 1% of what they do? This particular woman had the experience she had and for some reason is heavily religious about it. I have to wonder why that is? There's also misinformation here. Planned parenthood isn't an evil organization. They're much more helpful than harmful. They offer free pap smears, free pre-natal care, free birth control, free tests and treatment for STDs (those happen, they'll continue to happen, it's not just kids, most people that contract STDs are adults). This is EXTREMELY one sided. Seek out the other side of the argument. Seek out information and be aware of the sources of that information.
Danielle Rom Regardless of the perspective you look at it from, sex is meant not primarily for pleasure as you seem to think but for procreation. So you say it is silly, but (respectfully) your perspective seems to be the foolish one. Hence, why waiting until marriage is the more logical choice since sex is not only an expression of love, but love with commitment. So you may have love but when your contraceptives fail (none of them are 100% effective) and a baby is conceived the only thing that will keep that baby alive is commitment, not the hippie love your speaking of (not poking jabs but that is where it came from).
Yeah when she told panel of experts that it's not a cat, and that only females have babies it's "Science" that was fucking hilarious I bet their sides were splitting
It makes me happy that the baby can look at videos like this of his mother in the future and be happy at everything she did for him and other kids like him
I watched this video and I just cried within the first 10 min. My heart just aches to hug this woman! And I just want to say to her. God is so good! Merciful, loving and forgiving. I know I will never meat you Abby but I can not wait to hug you in heaven. We love you and will be praying for you and your growing wonderful family. God bless you and your ministry we will share this and speak of your story. Hold strong and keep speaking the testimony God has given you. ❤
When I was little and I would hear the story of Sampson and Delilah, I could not understand why Sampson didn’t leave Delilah alone! I would think “Can’t you see she’s trying to kill you?!” And then, when he finally told her the truth! WHY?! But he was deceived. He couldn’t see the truth right in front of him. It was as if there was a screen covering his mind from the truth, even though it was screaming at him. That’s how Abby was.
I think if my husband tried to kill me a couple of times by betraying me to an army...I would have not much trouble recalling it.🤔😶That part has always puzzled me as well. "Let God be true, but every (wo)man a liar..." ~Romans 3:4
I’m so happy God is using you and your husband to open the eyes of others. God bless you for your courage to come forward with the truth and your experience.
