More Stories Of Victory

Nancy tells the story of her coerced abortion after being raped:

I was just barely 16.
I found out I was pregnant and of course my father and mother found out. This is where the worst part comes in. Somehow one or both of them signed paperwork for me to get an abortion. I remember it was not a choice.

I TELL EVERYONE! REGARDLESS OF WHO SIGNED OR HOW ALL THIS HAPPENED. I GOT UP ON THAT TABLE. THE BIGGEST REGRET OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. I NEVER felt the same.

We would go to church, but I would sit there and tell myself. This is for everyone else. I had committed murder. Finally, I walked away from church all together due to my guilt and thinking God did not love me anymore. I had committed an unthinkable Sin!

Life went on.

Years later, after retiring and moving to Idaho, I slowly started back to church, at Calvary Chapel in Boise. I was glancing through the bulletin and on a very small section was a one-line announcement. It talked about an Abortion Ministry Retreat. I read it over and over! I knew I was going! I knew God wanted this for me.

The retreat was in Garden Valley, Idaho and led by Melissa Hardy. That Abortion retreat would change my life. Over a few days’ time, she and her leaders showed us Bible verses. I learned of God’s forgiveness and love for me. We had a workbook and fellowship. I met other girls who had the abortion nightmare. I saw young girls cry out in agony from the pain of making this choice for a variety of reasons. And then I knew! It wasn’t just me! All the women in attendance that weekend had the same remorse and pain I had experienced for over 45 years of my life. I went home with a whole new heart and love for God.
I want to add I was able to attend some of Melissa and Yvonne’s follow up classes.
I cannot say enough about this Abortion Ministry.
I have joined Bible studies. And most of all I know God Loves me. And forgives me. There is not a better feeling in the world.
