In my twenties, I had four abortions. I was neither poor, nor alone. I chose these abortions out of selfishness and fear. After the first one, I found that self-loathing and an unwillingness to speak to God out of shame accompanied me everywhere. It only got worse. With this study, I found a place to share my feelings. My counselor was instrumental in helping me through the pain of my abortions. I now know my life has not been ruined. I know that I can still be happy, that I deserve it and that God wants it. This study has helped me gain back the peace I had felt with God as a young girl involved in my local parish's youth ministry. Through it and Kathy, I've had a direct line to God. I am saved, I have a new sense of self and I am happier than ever.
