Woman tells of her nightmares and fears after abortion: “I didn’t protect him”

The media doesn’t often share with us the stories of women who live in regret and depression every day because of abortion. Many simply don’t come forward with their painful stories, however there are at least hundreds of post-abortive women who want the world, especially other women facing crisis pregnancies, to know that abortion will not fix their problems, only worsen them. Sue is one of those women.

Sue's Abortion

In the video, which she titled Sue’s Abortion, Sue talks about her family’s history with abortion including her grandmother’s death during an abortion, and her father’s suicide because of the pain that followed after losing his mother. Sue was only 10 when she saw her father put a gun to his head, decades after abortion killed his mother.

Then Sue, years later, discovered she was pregnant. Her boyfriend pressured her to abort. With nowhere else to turn, Sue gave into the pressure and let her boyfriend drive her to an abortion clinic. She says that she suppressed her emotions regarding the abortion. Confused, angry and unable to connect with her boyfriend, she ended their relationship and moved on with her life.

It wasn’t until she was married and pregnant that the remorse of her abortion flooded her. She says:

Sue lived with the nightmares, raising her son and trying to live a normal life but the regret of her abortion crept into her life. Every day she lives with the truth of her abortion and the fears that she failed her baby. She worries about what she will say should she see her aborted child after she dies. She explains:

Sue isn’t alone when she says she’s haunted by her abortion. Countless brave women have come forward with the truth in an effort to help other women chose life for their babies. Hopefully, their messages will be spread far and wide and help save the unborn children at risk for abortion.
