I Regret My Abortion - Tori's Story | Can't Stay Silent

  • "When I’m given the opportunity to speak with someone who’s considering abortion, I always tell them, ‘you’ll carry a baby for nine months, but you’ll carry an abortion for the rest of your life.’”
    Tori discovered she was pregnant when she was 16. Without knowing much about the procedure, she decided to have an abortion.
    The abortion was excruciatingly painful, but Tori tried her best to pretend it didn't happen and to go on with her life. As years went by, Tori struggled to come to terms with what she had done. She began to self-medicate, abuse alcohol and drugs and allowed people to treat her badly because she thought she "deserved" it.
    Abortion isn't a quick fix to an unexpected pregnancy. It kills an innocent baby and leaves everyone it touches scarred for life.

    When I was 30, I was newly divorced, a single parent of a 6 yr old daughter, and pregnant from a brief office fling with the cute blond-haired boy across the hall. I was terrified. I made several attempts to contact Planned Parenthood. On the last attempt, a voice clearly spoke, "Don't do it. She's special." I hung up the phone and decided to keep my baby. That decision cost me everything. I had to quit my civil service job to work nights waiting tables because I couldn't afford full time day care for an infant, which meant I also had to drop out of night school accounting classes. My car got repossessed and my home was foreclosed on. Life was a struggle, but she's 37 now and the mother of my two grandchildren. I thank God every day for saving her life and mine from the horrific cruelty of abortion. Thank you for sharing your story and the precious lives you and God are saving. Every life matters.

    I conceived my daughter on my 18th birthday. I found out I was pregnant alone in my parents basement bathroom. They are quite progressive Democrats and I never thought it would be an issue having an abortion if I got pregnant. That was until it happened. As soon as I saw the positive test, and I took 2 of them, I knew I was not alone in that bathroom. Abortion never entered my mind from the moment thought I could be pregnant. I just started changing my college plans in my mind. I was terrified to tell my parents, but my mom guessed. I'm thankful I was not pressured into having an abortion, but I'd have run away if they tried. They were good parents to a degree, but I was always the odd one out. They were definitely devastated by the news. Even after I was married and pregnant with my second child, they were angry. I still remember their reaction after telling my parents about baby #2. My mom started washing the dishes and would not speak to me. That hurts me to this day. I'm the only conservative, and being my mom's daughter has been more difficult than being a young mom had ever been. My girls are both in college now. I'm in awe by them daily.
    My heart breaks for these women telling how they regret their abortions, but they are doing such a good thing. They are bravely sharing truth. They are saving other girls from this pain. They are saving lives! They are up against a society with a blood lust. God bless them. 🙏❤️

      Babies are a gift and abortion is grotesque. I know from experience that these new lives can be felt from very early on. Maybe this is why the same advocates of abortion also advocate over-medicating our kids. If they can dull that sensation, that immediate connection, then severing it will be easier to do.
      These stories of regret, as hard as they must be to share, are blessings. God bless these women. But even atheists should be revolted by the dismemberment of a baby.

    I'm so proud of the women who speak up, the ones who have grace and talk about what they did and tell what it did to them, with the hope it will help others in the same situation, and hopefully help other girls and women make a different choice. I found out I was pregnant with twins at 24, totally unexpected, but abortion did not cross my mind. I was terrified of what my parents would say, but I knew they would either be with me or it would be me and my babies, and we would find a way to get by. Thankfully my parents didn't write me off, they were SO mad, but as time went on they accepted the reality we were in. Mom said she knew it was God's plan when I said it was twins, since twins don't run anywhere in my family at all. She said it was God's sense of humor to give me 2 identical little me's. I still remember the first ultrasound mom went to with me, it took her breath away, like then it was really real. Her first grandbabies and she loved them with everything in her. It took about 9 years for my kid's dad to start acting like a dad, but he does now and we are a happy little family. I've thought about what I would do if 1 of my girls were to get pregnant before she was ready (we have big time conversations about saving themselves for marriage, using protection, etc.), but I know first hand that's not always how it goes. I would never encourage or allow them to get an abortion, I always wanted lots of kids, so I would happily raise the baby till they were in a stable place in life, or it would just be their little sibling. I would 100% rather those situations than abortion.

      If there is a local crisis Pregnancy center in your area, talk with them. Maybe they can come alongside you and your husband and can arrange for funds for repairs. If they can't, they would be able to tell you who could help!!!

    I was not aware that abortions could cause "short cervix", resulting in never being able to carry a baby to full term!.😢😢
    I feel so bad for both Tori AND the baby who was never given a chance at life. Between her own mother, the E.R. Dr., and the staff at the abortion clinic, it sounds like everyone was very persuasive to her young 16 year old self and almost forced her into it in a way. She was never told it would be ok to have the baby, and never given alternatives like adoption.
    In my opinion, that fact should be mandatorily told to each woman prior to the abortion!
    Tori also mentioned the abortionist talked her out of viewing the sonogram pics because it would just "make it worse"😡
    I believe it should also be mandatory that each woman seeking an abortion is required to look at the real pic of the fetus prior to the procedure.
    I truly believe between seeing that its a real life growing inside of them in the picture and being told there could be lifelong side effects that could cause them to never be able to have a baby later in life, MANY of these women would change their mind and decide to cancel the abortion.

    I think the message to get from this isn't simply that abortion is evil and bad but sleeping with someone outside of marriage is evil and bad. If one doesn't like the fruit , they shouldn't plant the tree.
    True , these abortion stories are sad, but there are equally many sad stories of teens who kept their pregnancies. Women who became resentful as a result of being poor, overworked, tired, lonely and miserable enough to abuse their own children because they blame them for stealing their dreams
    or simply having partners who abuse their children, since women who have children out of wedlock have limited relationship opportunities because they are seen as a package, and question marks, a lot of men consequently try to err on the side of caution
    However predators are attracted to single mothers and their children. This is why children of single mothers are the most abused children.

    Shame and guilt are appropriate after an abortion. Toxic shame - where one feels worthless and acts out in a self-destructive way is a result of carrying *someone else's guilt" who has not taken responsibility for causing us harm. When this dear one's mother and husband apologize to her for failing her in her time of need - or - when she realizes and is able to allow them to carry their responsibility in this tragedy, her healing will be complete. Praying that we hear the confessions of complicit parents and partners - this will go a long way in releasing these women from (toxic) shame that is not theirs to carry.

    Something I love about Christianity is the belief that people can change and forgiveness is always always always there. Forgiving yourself. I don’t mean let yourself off the hook or not recognizing what was done but my goodness, your shame was drowning you. Look at how that experience transformed you! It doesn’t change what happened but look at the difference you’ve made for others. It’s never too late.
    This girl was a child herself, and of course it was awful but she had such little life experience and the adults in her life didn’t truly let her think this decision all the way through, not one adult really let her make this decision herself.
    I’m so glad you married the boy your first love, you experienced that together and you’re not alone in it.
    I’ve never been in this position but this story in particular touched me, life is sacred.

    What a failure of parenting to even think this could be the best option for your child and grandchild! Not only the physical harm this does to the body of the mom, but the physical pain it causes to the child. It's shameful, absolutely disgusting that a believer in Christ would consider this! You cannot believe that the life of a child is not valid if you are following Jesus. I believe Tori was innocent in this, she trusted the adults who let her down. Every one of them, a failure to protect her. Good job for your honesty, Tori! You are a beautiful soul, and I believe the blood of the lamb covers this mistake and you will one day get to hold that baby in your arms in heaven! God bless you sweet girl 🙏
