My friend, we live in a world that often tries to minimize the pain of our past choices. People might tell you, “It’s done, it’s over, just move on.” But for those who have walked through the valley of abortion, the reality is far more complex. The heart doesn’t just “move on” because someone says it should.
In this video, Cheryl La Mastra and I confront a hard but necessary truth: the aftermath of abortion is not a small thing. It is not an exaggeration to say that the physical and psychological effects can be traumatic—Cheryl even compares it to the PTSD a soldier faces after battle. That is a heavy comparison, I know. But we use it to validate your pain, not to increase it. If you are hurting, please know that your pain is real, “it is that serious,” and it deserves the compassionate, healing touch of our Savior.
