Theresa - "My Abortion Made Me A Pro-Life ‘Extremist’"

As many know, Theresa Bonopartis is the Director of Lumina: Help and healing After Abortion. Very sadly, a quite busy woman.

When I saw my son’s small, lifeless body on the bed next to me after hours of labor, my extremism was born.

I am a pro-life extremist and proud of it. It happened one day over 50 years ago pre-Roe v. Wade but when abortion was legal in New York. Coerced as a teen by my father into an abortion, I had a saline procedure in which I gave birth, after hours of labor, to a dead baby boy.

Nothing prepared me for this (not that anything could). I was not told about the development of my baby or anything about what I was about to undergo. To this day when I think back on it, it seems unbelievable that what happened was legal. When I saw my son’s small, lifeless body on the bed next to me after hours of labor, my extremism was born.

If you turn on the TV lately, it is hard not to be bombarded by Democratic political ads lamenting the Republicans who, in their view, do not care about women and are pro-life “extremists.” They claim pro-life politicians don’t care about women’s “health” and make no exceptions for abortion in the case of rape and incest.

Women watching these ads are led to believe that there can be no success without the ability to have an abortion at any time. They tell women their life is rendered invaluable by the small life within, and that the only empowering response to an unplanned pregnancy is abortion. They’re told that life will go back to “normal,” and all their dreams will be fulfilled.

Democrats sling around phrases like “forced birth” and try to make voters focus on cases of rape and incest, which are less than 3 percent of all abortions, but they ignore the extreme violence that happens in the womb and the torment of the soul as countless women come to find out that life does not go back to normal. They often learn that the dreams they sought to fulfill are now obstructed by depression, shame, grief, and a host of other emotions that interfere with their daily lives. Worse yet, although Democrats have empathy for those who fit their agenda, they continue to deny the very real experiences of those women who suffer and blame anything but abortion for their problems.

Dear Theresa, your book '' A Journey of Healing Through Divine Mercy'' speaks Truth to power as they say and is the road that you have encouraged girls and women to heal via their abortion or abortions for many years... Our Lord knows your heart and has given you the blessing to help all who are deeply hurting from this Holocaust... Saint Faustina suffered from the pains of abortion to make reparation for the countless girls and women who aborted their children in Poland and therefore suffered deeply... As Our Lord is and was with you He is with every girl and woman who is going through this whether they realize it or not... Our Lord wants all girls & women to run to Him in is Love and Mercy just as you did!!!Peter Lepre, Envoy For Mercy(MIC)
