🧵At 15, I had my first abortion because I was told it was no big deal, a simple solution, that would give me my life back. What I got was PTSD, anxiety, depression and worse, all of which took years for me to place because everyone insisted abortion doesn’t cause problems /1
At 18 I got pregnant again and this time, even though I told them I couldn’t handle another abortion, I was harassed, bullied, pressured, coerced, and threatened by family and Planned Parenthood staff into having one. I gave in and it nearly killed me. 2/
My recovery took years and years of therapy and inner healing from God, who, incidentally I did NOT believe in before my abortion. I did not believe abortion was wrong at 15, did not believe that it was a life, and I did not know God. And yet i suffered. Because abortion 3/
is wrong for humanity, whether you believe in God or not! Your faith or religion or lack thereof does not change the fact that abortions kill and living human being who is growing inside a woman’s body. And nothing changes the fact that abortion is a violent and traumatic 4/
physiological experience for the baby and for the mom. It just so happens the only place I found the love and support I needed was in God, and in the Christian community, perhaps because at the time no other people would even acknowledge PTSD caused by abortion. 5/
It was the most painful experience of all my years (and my life was no picnic). This is why I am anti-abortion. Because I love women, babies and humanity, and because I never want any woman or baby to suffer the violent trauma of abortion. And all of this /6
Is why I have to get off Twitter for a few days. Shout out to all my prolife friends still on here doing the work of advocating for women and babies. But I think it’s best for my mental health to disengage from this particular platform during in this post-leak atmosphere 🙏🏼 /7
