Abortion is a complicated issue. I have heard all kinds of reasons from women for why they chose abortion. The truth is, they don’t fully understand their reason. The shame is talking. What they may not realize is that all women have an abortion for the same reason. That reason is fear.
Some women fear being ostracized. Some women fear they will not be able to love the child if it is a product of rape or molestation. Some women are afraid they will not be able to financially support the baby. I’ve heard dozens of reasons, and it is always fear. But here’s the thing, fear isn’t real. Fear is simply perceived outcome. It is a lie. Satan’s weapon of choice. Like Adam and Eve in the garden, life is taken for a lie. But there is hope. Jesus laid down His life to restore all things! You do not have to live shackled to shame. Seek the healing only He can offer, but don’t stop there. Forgiveness is not enough for Him. Healing is too small a thing for Him. He wants nothing less than full restoration for you. A life full and blessed. He wants to make your life a story of His power and grace!
