The emotional and physical effects of abortion<\/a>\u00a0aren’t always immediate. Sometimes grief and regret will manifest months, years, or decades later. The effects can bubble to the surface in the form of alcohol and drug abuse, difficulties in romantic relationships, or in relationships with surviving children. It is a permanent decision with permanent consequences.<\/p>\n

In the video below, shared on Facebook by Anchored North<\/a>, two people share what abortion did to them, and how it affected their lives.\u00a0One man describes how he became sexually active at age 12, and by the time he was 16, he had pressured two girlfriends to abort his children. After he married, his wife aborted their children as well. He says this is when his rage over all the abortions came to the surface.<\/p>\n

Later in the video, a woman describes the pain she experienced after her abortion, saying she “basically became like a soldier in my own army, and then I became one of those women that built walls around me. I felt like I was trying to hold all that pain, all those emotions… underwater. And I started to do drugs… methamphetamine and cocaine. Because I wanted to be in control.” She sought post-abortion counseling, saying that during the process, “You have to go through grieving that is so deep… so deep.”<\/p>\n

“The ripple effect of redemption is restoration,” she adds. “There’s only one real lover of your soul. And that’s the One that created you.”<\/p>\n

There is hope after abortion. And there is redemption. This man and woman found it…and so can every other person.<\/p>\n
