Dear John,

One of the most common messages you hear from the abortion industry is that moms who have an abortion don’t regret their decision.

The abortion industry releases biased studies, deceptive statements, and misleading statistics to push the idea that having an abortion is really no big deal. In fact, Planned Parenthood – the largest abortion provider in the U.S. – goes as far as claiming on their website that most parents are relieved about their abortion.

But as you know, abortion regret isn’t a myth. Abortion regret is REAL.

We hear stories in our Health Care Centers of moms who felt pressured to abort. Moms who believed they had no other option or nowhere else to turn. Moms who thought they would have no support. And couples who followed bad advice and wish they could turn back the clocks.

Then, we hear the fallout of the decisions. We hear stories of moms who struggle with grief and regret for decades. Couples who have broken relationships. Families who will never be the same. All because of abortion.

One way we honor some of the one million children lost to abortion every single year is through the website abortionmemorial.com. On this website, moms, dads, grandparents, and other family members are invited to share their stories, thoughts, and prayers to remember children who never had a chance at life outside the womb.

Here’s just one of the stories posted recently by an anonymous author:

My Beautiful Baby,

I miss you with ALL of my heart. It has been 29 years and the sadness and regret of not giving you life never goes away. I am SO sorry for my decision. I regret it daily and I miss you deeply daily. I know that you are at peace with the Lord.

You have a brother here, I know he also would have loved you very much.

I acknowledge the personhood, soul, and dignity of this [preborn] child.

With Deep Love,

Mommy

As Christians, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. And that means we need to love, forgive, and serve those in our community who have experienced abortion.

Abortion Memorial is just one way that we can help those who have made this decision. It’s a place for healing, love, and encouragement.

As you read these stories, I hope you will consider how you can serve women and families who have abortion in their story.

They need support. They need hope. They need the love of Christ.

Will you be there for them in their time of greatest need?

As always, thank you for standing with us in the fight for life.

For children and families,

Rachel Lane
Sr. National Director of Family Services
