Out of the Darkness….Into the
Light: Healing after abortion
A post-abortive panel shares their journey
of hurt, pain, and grief to healing and hope
Who We Are:
We are a diverse group of women who would likely never have connected with one
another….except for something we all share. Each one of us has walked through
the doors of an abortion facility and ended the life of our unborn child.
Our Desire:
Our desire is to share the truth, in hopes that those who hear will be better
equipped to reach out to others who are struggling with a current choice or a
past decision concerning the issue of life. We don’t want to condemn,
criminalize or even debate anyone. We merely want to share our stories and
personal encounters with loss and redemption. The act of abortion that we
thought was going to solve a 'problem' started us down a long path of
self-destructive behavior, emotional distress and spiritual confusion. While
each of us has a unique story, we chose to weave our stories together, sharing a
side of abortion that is rarely heard in public.
How to Contact us:
The panel has presented in North Dakota and Minnesota and to various
audiences. If you are interested in bringing the panel to your area please
