I was faced with this decision after having my second child. Looking back, it should not have even been an issue. I was happily married, had a son and a daughter, and a good job. Yep, a job....which I regrettably put first. Without much consideration, I told my husband that we should just consider abortion. There wasn’t much consideration, because when I arrived at the clinic, I was whisked away and the procedure was performed. I wasn’t educated about what would happen or even encouraged to reconsider. My husband and I were both to blame for this decision of so called convenience. To this very day, we both agree that it was the worst decision we ever made! The guilt, pain, and sense of loss were difficult for many years. I repented and sought God’s forgiveness. By His grace, He even blessed us with another beautiful child later. Abortion is NEVER a solution. It is just a murderous sin that puts a permanent stain on life. I love the Lord and He continues to love me with all of his grace and goodness. Praise be to Him!
