Some choices define a moment. Others shape your life forever. For me, abortion was that choice.
On February 13, 2000, I walked into a clinic in Atlanta and surrendered the life growing inside me. I believed the lie that this would solve everything. I thought I could restore “normal.” But I was wrong. That decision changed everything.
When fear takes over: How one pregnant woman chose abortion
I was scared. I was pregnant. And I believed I had no choice. My husband and I thought abortion would solve our problems. Our finances were tight, and I told no one about the pregnancy. But the weight of my decision hit long before I entered the abortion clinic.
A secret decision with lasting pain
As I sat in that waiting room, surrounded by women hiding behind blank stares, I already felt the loss. I told myself I could go back to “normal.” But what followed was grief, shame, and guilt that consumed me. It’s something many pregnant women experience—often in silence.
The breaking point: When God met me in my lowest moment
Two nights later, I woke up bleeding, terrified, and alone in my bathroom. It was the lowest moment of my life. I had ended the life of my child—and nothing would ever be the same. But instead of judgment, I met the love of Jesus. That night, I cried out, and God answered.
From brokenness to purpose: My calling to support pregnant women
Healing wasn’t instant. But over time, God transformed my pain into purpose. That child I lost became the reason I now fight for the lives of others. I’ve committed my life to making sure no pregnant woman feels alone, abandoned, or uninformed. That’s the heart behind The Bridge Wellness South.
