John, I wanted to make sure you saw this. Gigi Davis, a dear friend of Live Action and one of the post-abortive mothers who participated in our “Face to Face” video series, recently shared her story in an article published by the Daily Wire. I’ve linked it below so you can read her testimony of abortion regret and the ultimate redemption and freedom she found in Jesus.
Today, we also released the next video in our “Face to Face” series. Don’t miss this incredible roundtable discussion that brings together all four perspectives featured in the series — abortion survivors, post-abortive mothers (including Gigi!), former abortionists, and abortion witnesses — for a look at the lasting impact abortion has on all involved. You’ll find it in the “featured video” section below.
The Shame Of Abortion Nearly Buried Me
Shame will bury you, burden you, and lead you nowhere. For years, abortion buried me in shame and regret, but through healing and faith I discovered the power to reclaim my life and help others do the same. It took years of soul-searching, brokenness, and ultimately my surrender to faith to learn I wasn’t alone in this journey — that healing was not only possible but was available to me all along.
At just six-years-old, I witnessed shame for the first time when my pregnant teenage sister stood before our church confessing her sins. That moment was traumatic — not only for her but for me, too. From that point on, I lived in fear of “one sin” ruining my entire world. That fear clung to me as I grew older until I had to face my own decisions. Witnessing my sister’s experience didn’t stop me from sinning, though, it just made me want to hide it. So I did.
Raised by Christian parents, attending church, and reading the Bible, I knew the difference between right and wrong. With that knowledge came the pressure to impress my parents and my church community. I had to be the leader: the first to finish high school, go to college and graduate – all without becoming a teen mom. Looking back, it seemed more important for me not to get pregnant than it did to excel in school because of the proliferation of teen pregnancy within my family.
“Just don’t get pregnant,” I was told. And yet, I did.
So, at 17-years-old, I found myself Googling “low-cost abortion near me.”
I had no idea abortion was going to be a long-lasting regret in my heart. At the time, I thought nothing could be worse than feeling rejected by my own family and watching my dreams go down the drain.

Panel discusses abortion regret ‘Face to Face’ in new video: ‘I suppressed most of my emotion’
The most recent episode of Live Action’s newest series, “Face to Face,” features a panel of people who have all been affected by abortion in different ways — and the various regrets they have.
In the latest video, several former abortionists met for a discussion with an abortion survivor, women suffering from post-abortion regret, and a former labor and delivery (L&D) nurse.
Jill Stanek, a stalwart in the pro-life movement, spoke about her experience working as an L&D nurse — which changed her life. “I went to work at Christ Hospital… on the southwest side of Chicago, thinking that I would be safe from moral and ethical dilemmas like abortion, because who would think that a hospital [using the name of] Christ could possibly be involved in such a thing?” she said. “But I came to work one night in my capacity as labor and delivery nurse, and heard in report two terrible blows. One was finding out that the hospital was involved in late-term abortions, and the second was finding out that there was a second trimester baby with Down syndrome being aborted that night.”
The baby was being killed through an “induced labor” abortion, in which labor was induced while the baby was alive, and the baby just left to die. Stanek was told that she didn’t need to be involved, but overheard an alarming conversation.
