I've never forgotten the terrible feeling I had after I assisted a friend financially so that she could secure an abortion. I borrowed the money from a friend, so I involved yet another person in this act that I now profoundly regret. After sixteen years the guilt I felt from the abortions began to overwhelm me. Through reconciliation and post-abortion counseling I can feel God's forgiveness, forgive myself, and have peace of mid. The death of your children is very difficult to cope with in any case, but abortion is a death that goes unrecognized by society.
