She became pregnant in high school. Smith believed that if she had her baby, her college dreams would be destroyed, though\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pregnant-college-brittany-babies-goals\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">other women<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/god-purpose-teen-mom-college-life-son\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have graduated from college<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while parenting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first, her boyfriend Miguel wanted the baby, but he changed his mind. She found out he was cheating on her and had gotten another girl pregnant. Smith lived in Pennsylvania where parental consent was required before an abortion, but she and Miguel drove to another state to keep the abortion a secret from her parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith had heard stories about angry pro-life protesters who harassed women at abortion facilities. Therefore, she was determined not to speak to any pro-lifers outside the facility. Because she believed that pro-lifers sometimes threw red paint on women, she wore an old sweatsuit. Her fears prevented her from reaching out for help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A \u201cCold and Callous\u201d Facility<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The abortion facility did a transvaginal sonogram, which Smith found very uncomfortable. The ultrasound technician was unsympathetic, telling her, &#8220;If you can have sex, you can sit through this.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith was offered the chance to see the ultrasound but declined, saying, \u201cI thought there was no way I would be able to look at my baby in the ultrasound and still go through with this procedure.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The facility offered general anesthesia. At first, Smith refused it, fearing God would punish her by not allowing her to wake up. Miguel and the abortion workers convinced her to have it. Smith describes the operating room as \u201ccold and callous.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Post-abortion Trauma and an Abusive Relationship<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first, she felt relieved after her abortion. Then her feelings changed. She says:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For days and months after, I felt numb\u2026 I continued to rationalize in my mind that my decision had been for the best.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feelings of guilt and shame began to surface when I heard my other classmates talking about how excited they were to be pregnant\u2026I would think about how old my child would&#8217;ve been\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believed I would be sent to hell. I imagined my child saying, &#8220;Mommy, why?&#8221; In these moments, I felt horrible about what I had done.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She became resentful of Miguel, but stayed with him anyway, despite his infidelity. Miguel became abusive, and she recalls him coming into her dorm room, dragging her by her hair to the floor, and punching her in the face. When campus police arrived at the scene, alerted by her screams, she told them she was fine and covered for Miguel. She says, \u201cI allowed my entire world to revolve around Miguel.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the abuse, she stayed with him until he left her for another woman.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Enduring Another Abortion Procedure<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith became pregnant again by another boyfriend and went for another abortion. This time, she was not offered general anesthesia, and became so uncomfortable at the start of the procedure that the abortionist sent her home. She came back to the facility a second time and went through with the abortion, but it was very difficult for her. Smith recalls:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026 I found that the doctor and the nurse became impatient, insensitive, and frustrated because, again, I became extremely mentally and physically uncomfortable during the procedure. My discomfort was making it difficult for them, and I could hear them huffing and puffing.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctor and nurse kept saying, &#8220;We need you to remain still.&#8221; So, I did. I remained still and endured every instrument, every utensil, and every tool that went into my body to abort my second baby.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As she lay on the table, she looked at the glass container attached to the suction machine that was filling up with the blood and body parts of her aborted baby. She says, \u201cTears began to roll down my face. I had to turn away. I could no longer look at what I had done\u2026 I closed my eyes and endured this excruciating pain. It seemed as if it lasted forever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Abortion Trauma and Recommitted Faith<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the abortion, Smith fell into a deep depression. A few months later, she went to church on Easter Sunday, answered an altar call, and rededicated her life to God and her Christian faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Smith believed God had forgiven her for her abortion, she couldn\u2019t forgive herself. Smith says:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I presented to others that I had it all together but was struggling with issues of insecurity and shame. I chose not to share my mistakes with others because I did not want anyone to judge me.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a few years, I would not allow myself to connect with my real emotions and thoughts, let alone share them with anyone else.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, I came to the place where I realized that I&#8217;d become withdrawn, isolated, and judgmental. The hurt, grief, and pain on the inside were real.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><b>Finding Healing and Speaking Out<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith realized she needed healing and began working through her abortion trauma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She spoke about her abortions for the first time at a Bible study she was leading. A few days later, one of the young women she taught contacted her and told her she was considering abortion. Smith met with her and encouraged her to have the baby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith calls this a \u201cpivotal moment\u201d in her life because she realized that sharing her story could help others. She began publicly talking about her abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Marriage, Motherhood, and Hope<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She married and became pregnant again and wrestled with fears that God would punish her by harming her baby. She says, \u201cI recognized that these thoughts were unhealthy and needed to be rejected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She recalls how different her birth experience was from her abortions, saying, &#8220;I am so thankful that this room was different from the other rooms that I&#8217;ve been in. In this room, the nurses and doctor were compassionate and caring.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith is now involved in the pro-life movement and wrote her book to give other post-abortive women hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lashonna Lynn Smith <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forgiven: My Personal Story of Finding Forgiveness, Forgiving Others, and Forgiving Myself After Having Two Abortions <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2018) 10, 11, 16, 17, 10, 19, 29-30, 45, 55, 56<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pledge.liveaction.org\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=prolife_pledge\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-277267\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pledge-live-action-ad-970x250-700x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lashonna Lynn Smith, now an ordained minister, wrote a book about her abortion trauma and eventual healing.\u00a0 Smith\u2019s mother was a drug-addicted prostitute, so she spent her childhood being shuffled between different homes.
