"50 Years Later, I Still Anguish Over My Abortion."

Theresa Bonopartis, as well as being head of Lumina, Help and Healing After Abortion is also one of our co-director's. Excerpts below, but hit the link, it only takes five minutes to read. And please pass this link on.

For more than 50 years now, my life has been affected by an abortion I had at 17 years old. Coerced by my father to abort my unborn child in my fourth month of pregnancy, the imprint of his dead, burned body from a saline abortion will stay with me forever. I remember thinking, “How is it possible that this is legal?” I could not wrap my head around the horror of the reality of what had just happened, a horror to this day that is hidden from the world.

It’s a hard pill to swallow when you are coming from the place I am with my own abortion, as it is for the thousands of women I have worked with in post-abortion healing ministry over the past 30 years. These women’s lives have been destroyed by the lies of abortion, and their experiences and pain continue to be denied by a society intent on protecting abortion at any cost. How is it that abortion can harm your mental health if you cannot get an abortion, but the harm experienced by taking the life of your child is not allowed to exist? The lies continue and grow, deadening the hearts of the ones who should be loving their children the most.
