For Roetzel, who was raised in a Christian household, engaging in sexual relations outside of marriage was shameful enough, but an unplanned pregnancy would make visible what she had been doing in secret.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roetzel told Live Action News, \u201cI never knew anyone who had an abortion, but my immediate gut response was that I had to take care of this before anyone found out. It would be such an embarrassment to my family. I was afraid of being known as that messed-up kid. I knew my boyfriend would not marry me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was told her gynecologist could commit the abortion; to Roetzel, that made the procedure \u201cnormal\u201d \u2014 almost routine rather than going to some anonymous clinic. Once she was in the exam room, no ultrasound was performed nor did her doctor discuss the procedure or how far along she was in her term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was totally ignorant of what was to happen,\u201d Roetzel said. \u201cI estimated I was about two months pregnant but didn\u2019t know much about a baby\u2019s development at that stage. It wasn\u2019t until my doctor told me that yes, she saw my baby growing inside of me, that my eyes were suddenly opened.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-lQOooYAs8\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The physical pain she was experiencing paled in comparison to the spiritual pain of feeling her baby sucked out of her womb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roetzel said, \u201cIt was too late to go back. A guttural cry arose from the depths of my soul, and I was told to be quiet, that others may hear me. I don\u2019t remember how long I laid there but I eventually got up, got dressed, and went home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her bedroom, Roetzel curled up into a fetal position and cried tears of anguish. The next day, she got up and went to work, stuffing her pain down deep as she tried to get on with everyday life, but something had changed profoundly, and life could never be the same as before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I wasn\u2019t crying, I was drinking heavily, often until I blacked out,\u201d Roetzel said. \u201cMy soul had been destroyed, but I learned to keep my grief hidden. I became highly functional at denying my feelings. It was the only way I could survive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hi-Kc5HLHP8\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Redemption through Christ\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Roetzel and her boyfriend did marry and later had a child, the marriage only lasted three years. She decided to relocate to Iowa where she began attending church and re-committed her life to Christ. There, she met a Christian man whom she eventually married, and became involved in youth ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roetzel said, \u201cWe had a child together, but moved around quite a bit. When I became pregnant a fourth time, I miscarried. I thought I had dealt with the loss well until we went to Disneyland, and it seemed every woman I saw there was noticeably pregnant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, questions about why she had miscarried bubbled to the surface spurring Roetzel to feel angry with God for allowing the loss of her baby. Her husband was out of town one day when Roetzel heard a voice telling her she suffered the miscarriage as a punishment for aborting her baby years earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was condemnation from the enemy,\u201d Roetzel said. \u201cAt that moment, I physically fell to the ground and moaned in agony. From that point, I became depressed. Nobody knew my secret. They saw me but didn\u2019t really know what was buried inside; I couldn\u2019t even say the word \u2018abortion\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As she struggled in the grip of despair, friends assumed she was working through the recent miscarriage. Rather than seek healing, Roetzel put on a \u201cstiff upper lip\u201d and continued as best as she could.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roetzel said, \u201cWe eventually got transferred again and I got pregnant with twins. What a joy it was to learn I was carrying two babies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this pregnancy, too, ended in miscarriage, leaving Roetzel devastated, pushing her further down a dark, cavernous hole from which there was no escape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was so traumatic for me,\u201d Roetzel said. \u201cI was spiraling downward, spending my days in the closet, crying out to the Lord. I still couldn\u2019t say the dreaded word and still couldn\u2019t let go of the secret I kept concealed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As she spent hours in communion with the Lord, He whispered to her that the time for healing had come; she now needed to walk through the process. Yet she wasn\u2019t sure how to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roetzel said, \u201cI went into the basement of our new home, which was still unfinished, a place that was murky and cold. There, I relived the dirtiest, ugliest day of my life all over again and prayed for forgiveness and for healing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/target-petition\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=lan_website&amp;utm_content=target_petition\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-292702\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-700x180.jpg\" alt=\"Target petition\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-700x180.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-768x198.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-500x129.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Healing prompts a desire to help other women find redemption<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three years later, Roetzel told her husband about the abortion, and as if in an instant, the shame was lifted. As she continued to share her testimony, she was rewarded with a deeper reconciliation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI received such amazing grace,\u201d Roetzel said. \u201cAs I tell my story, my heart doesn\u2019t hurt anymore. Women need to speak out, to have their voices heard, and to break the stronghold of grief, shame, and sorrow that abortion has over them. So many are silent or use their denial to promote pro-choice, to justify what they have done. These women need healing from the trauma of abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaborating with another woman, Roetzel launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unlockedhealing.com\/courses\/mycourse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">six-week online abortion recovery program<\/a> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that allows women to navigate through the healing journey in the privacy of their homes.

Unless we rise and speak courageously, our nation will be bound by the sin of abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/general-donation\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=monthly&amp;utm_content=article\"><i>Did you know that as little as $10 a month is enough to reach more than 3,000 people with the truth about abortion that no one else is telling them?
