With a topic as sensitive as abortion, I feel that it is important to get the story from many points of view. It is important when making life-changing decisions to know what the effects could potentially be. Mystiqua’s account of her struggle with domestic violence and the abortion that followed is a real-life account that everyone should read.

[quote]”That is not how it works, there are tons of mental and emotional stress that are involved. I went through highs and lows, not knowing if I would be forgiven for such a sin so gruesome. I suffered through a lot of pain, hurt, envy, anger, and distress from it. Not to mention the emotional rollercoaster of dealing with a “fiancé” that was abusive to me sexually, mental, and physically. My triumph only came really, after I met my present husband… and I realized that I was indeed forgiven by my Heavenly Father. I was washed clean through the blood of the Messiah.  He prayed with me, studied the Word and helped me to see that not only was I forgiven but I needed to forgive myself. Once I did that and allowed myself that freedom, I was able to move on. Now I try to share my testimony with women that have been through this same thing. Abortion is not a simple remedy…it is something that can haunt you for a very long time. If you let it and not become redeemed by the blood of the Lamb…can haunt you for the rest of your life. It is time to stop running from the issue but talk about it and help these women to see that there is a lot more to it. A lot more than a person can “mentally” handle.” [/quote]
