Dear Friend Who Has Participated in Abortion
I write this to you if you have had an abortion, whether recently or decades ago.
I write this to you who coerced your girlfriend or wife into getting an abortion.
I write this to you who drove your friend to an abortion clinic.
I write this to you parents who compelled your child to get an abortion.
I write this to you doctors who counseled your patients to abort a child with a "birth defect."
I write this to you if you work in an abortion clinic, whether as a custodian or an abortionist..
I write this to you who failed to talk a friend out of getting an abortion.
I write this to you who have supported abortion in any way.
Now I'm no expert, and while I have not experienced abortion, I have experienced other things that have caused me the similar mix of denial, fear, shame, guilt, anguish, and anger that you may be dealing with. We know that today, we are living in a culture where everyone is demanding their rights, including the supposed right to choose. If you have participated in, supported, had or even performed abortion, you may be dealing with a variety of feelings. You may be mentally telling yourself that you were in step with your culture, which tells you that abortion is acceptable. You may be defending yourself and what you have done, supported or participated in. You may be feeling grief which your culture does not allow you to express because, after all, you made your "choice." You may be in deep denial and may not be aware of any feelings about your actions. You may have blocked them. You may be filled with guilt, condemnation, and regret, and feel unforgiveable. I know that many abortion advocates will convince you that there is no such thing as "post abortion trauma" and that this is a made up condition and coined by "extremists." But though we do not like using the "a---" word, it is a fact that an abortion is not terminating an unwanted pregnancy, but it is the taking of a human life that has not yet been born. Therefore, when you support abortion, get an abortion, encourage another to have one, or even perform abortions, you cannot help but consciously or unconsciously violate your conscience, your humanity, and maternal instincts. I know that you may be among those women who may even see your abortion as a "badge of honor" for your worldview. This is not a matter on which good people ca disagree, thus experiencing abortion must be dealt with, just as we have to deal with any life-altering choices and conditions, whether drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, sexual addictions, among other things. I know that you may have been among the many in crisis pregnancies, who may not have seen any other option but abortion. You may even have wanted to choose life for your baby, but you had no support or encouragement from the important people in your life, your family and your friends. In that case, you may be have suppressed or repressed anger against those who coerced you into an unwanted abortion. You may have anger mingled with guilt over not being strong enough to stand up to pressure. You may even work at Planned Parenthood, knowing that many people are calling for it to be defunded, as if that would stop abortion. You mmay see what you do as just a job, and know that defunding Planned Parenthood would hurt low-income women and desperate women, unless funds are re-directed to alternatives to Planned Parenthood, where people can see that abortion is not their only option.
I don't know where you are in your life's journey. But there is One who does, and He wants to forgive you and use your life for the help of others. God has loved us enough to give His Son, Jesus, and Jesus paid the price for all our sins by bearing Divine wrath for all our sins. So if we repent (change our mind and life direction) of sin and trust Jesus (count solely on His merits alone to save us), we can know forgiveness. That includes you also! You who are reading this, I invite you to repent and trust Jesus.
Will you choose life today?

To Any and All Who May Want An Abortion
Dear Reader:
I appeal to you if you are young, afraid, feel unsupported and feel that abortion is your only option.
I appeal to you if you find yourself pregnant and no one in your family wants you so.
I appeal to you if you have a girlfriend or wife in an unplanned pregnancy to which abortion seems the only solution.
I appeal to you if your family is full but you are, again, unhappily pregnant.
I appeal to you if you have a daughter or son who is now faced with a crisis pregnancy.
I appeal to you if you are happy in your career and find a pregnancy has interrupted it.
I appeal to you, male or female, who have no money, home or job but are dealing with a pregnancy.
I appeal to you if others are making you get an unwanted abortion, especially parents or your partner.
I appeal to you if you suffered rape or incest and see no option but abortion.
I appeal to you if the unborn child you are carrying, in testing, was found to have a "birth defect."
I appeal to you if you are dealing with an unwanted pregnancy for any reason or under any circumstances.
I know that culture is declaring that the solution to end your distress. Yes, I know it is legal. I know that, at least in the short run, it seems to be the solution. I know that many among us in the Christian community have shouted that it is wrong and are busy defending the humanity of the child in the unwanted pregnancy, but often we offer no more. That is why so many facing crisis pregnancies have made the choices they have, because they saw abortion as their only option. They may have been bullied into it, shamed into it, or talked into it. In many cases, we have failed to show love and compassion and give such people the help and support that they needed, to carry their babies to full term. On behalf of us in the Christian community, I apologize for our actions. We can and should do better, so that abortion will become unthinkable and so that other options will look more attractive to those of you for whom this post is intended.
You may have heard that it is your body and that it is a private matter, between you and God. I agree that your choice is between you and God What you do may seen only at a clinic, by a few staff and by you. But it will also be seen by God. I know that abortion may seem to "end" your distress over a crisis that you may desperately want out of your life. But it will create another set of problems. It will leave you with a sense of guilt that you have ended a human life, an innocent human life. Many who have experienced abortion may suppress or repress this guilt, and will not express any sorrow over their children lost to abortion. This culture forbids such grief. But if you turn to abortion, you will likely experience this grief that this culture will not approve of you expressing. Do you want that?
Whatever sort of crisis pregnancy you are dealing with and the circumstances facing you, there is help available for you. Please do not do anything rash or that you will forever regret and be unable to do over. The child inside you is a child created by God, with purposes, gifts and a destiny. Whatever your circumstances, God planned your child. You, your loved ones, and most of all, your child, deserve better than abortion. Please choose life. It will not be easy. But your child will appreciate you choosing life for him or her. What if your mom had not chosen life?
