So many women who have abortions feel pressured to do so and are silenced when they feel regret.
At 15 years old, Serena came face to face with this pressure in her own home.
From the beginning, Serena wanted her baby. Although she felt embarrassed and fearful about her situation, she never considered abortion as an option.
Her parents argued, begged, and even threatened violence to compel Serena to agree to an abortion. After weeks of torment, physically exhausted from her pregnancy and emotionally exhausted, Serena relented to her parent's wishes.
In the months after her abortion, Serena grieved alone. For years she suffered from anxiety, depression, loss of appetite, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts.
Her parents had honestly believed that having a baby at 15 would be devastating to their daughter and her future.
But Serena is speaking out today to share the truth: abortion stole and robbed a precious human being - her own child - who should have been part of her life. And that's something she can never change and never get back.
