Prolifers in Action 
How two women are working for change.
It's a disturbing statistic: Nearly half of all American women will have at least one abortion by the time they're 45. And of that group, about 47 percent will experience multiple abortions.

It's hard to comment on this article. I don't remember a grieving period or a period of depression after my abortions. Yes, I have had more than one. The painful part for me was that due to immaturity, I actually had to deliver a dead baby in my first abortion. And because that baby was a boy, for a very long time I decided that God would not give me another son because I killed the first one. I have since learned that God doesn't operate that way. My second abortion was easier to deal with, if that's a possible concept. And while I agree that women should have counseling prior to and post-abortion, I still support their right to make that choice. If I had it to do again, I would be a mother of four instead of two. I would just rather ensure a safe practice than what occurs in back allies. It's a hard line to walk, being Christian and pro-choice. Thank you for the opportunity to share.
