I Was Afraid (video)
Author: Abby
I was afraid of losing the things that I had built for myself. And I was afraid of the truth. I was afraid of being found out for somebody i was not. So If i were to be honest and keep the child then that would be totally broke. I just pulled out the phone and typed in “planned parenthood’ and found the one closest to us and gave them a call. They said come on in and that I didn’t need an appointment that they would help me whenever I got there.
It’s just really sad to know that what I had done when I chose to abort was to listen to the fear that was brewing inside of me and I didn’t think about the fact that that little fetus was not just a clump of cells. We all started at that same point but we are here to talk about it.
I’ve been able to come a long way since I had the abortion. I guess the biggest way it affects me today is that I would do it so differently if I got to do it all over again. It gives me a greater appreciation for life itself and a greater understanding about the injustice kids suffer, literally, before they are born.

Dear Abby,
You made a very brave video. I am so glad you did! The knowledge of what you chose will never go away, but the horrible heaviness of guilt can. Jesus came to us so that He could carry the weight and guilt of sins that we absolutely cannot erase. He loves us and cries for us to let Him. His death and resurrection are the only thing more powerful than our bad choices. Give Him your guilt and continue to lovingly support the ones who stand where you were. It is a healing balm to keep another from slipping into the same grief.
God bless you, sweet Abby!
May your life be s blessing to many!
