About 16 years I had an abortion. I was 16 years old
my boyfriend was a lot older than me- he couldn't support the baby or me. I remember I wanted to keep the baby so badly but I couldn't. I was a baby myself. the reason I aborted was because I felt the baby was going to have deformities and I could not handle that. I drank a bit and I was electricuted by a christmas light cord. I married that boyfriend-still marrried to him with two beautiful kids. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep because of that beautiful baby- I decided to abort. I wish I can turn back the clock and say no to sex and yes to our Lord. I wish I can be a much more devoted Catholic and I hope that my baby found a better home in the hands of Jesus- because I couldn't. I am so sorry baby! I don't want to be forgiven I just want to acknowledge the fact that I did something wrong I will never forgive myself. I will never forget

My heart goes out to you. You can still say yes to the Lord. He desires for you to be forgiven and to live a full, happy life. Not only will God forgive you, but he will give you the strength to forgive yourself.

You're right, you will never forget, but you can live in a happy place. Your past can help other women who are either considering abortion or can help others going through Post Abortion Sydrome.

Hi, noria,

Why don't you want to be forgiven? I am sure you know the price you would pay if you aren't.

God WANTS to forgive you. He has ALREADY paid the price for your sin. All you have to do is experience genuine sorrow for what you did, and repent, and ask for His forgiveness. He gives it freely. You don't have to DO anything, because Jesus did it all. He said, "It is finished." What was finished? Your salvation! Once you have received God's forgiveness, then you will need to forgive yourself. It sounds like you don't want to. But you need to take God's word for it that your sin is paid for, and that you are forgiven. If you don't forgive yourself, you are telling God that He is a liar, and you don't accept what He plainly told you about forgiveness. Salvation and forgiveness are by grace, which is unmerited favor from God, and it's not a matter of works, lest any man should boast. It isn't something you can earn. That's the whole point! Don't be a second victim of your abortion, but ACCEPT Jesus' forgiveness with gratitude.

There are programs for women in your position. Go to your nearest crisis pregnancy agency. Almost all of them have programs to help a woman heal emotionally and spiritually. Let us know if you need any help finding one, but you can go here: www.pregnancycenters.org and find one in your area.

May God pour out His blessing on you and assurance of His salvation.

Hugs,
Pat
