With Heavy Heart - My Thoughts on the Latest Expose' on Planned Parenthood

My heart has been heavy since the release of the undercover video of Dr. Deborah Nucatola of Planned Parenthood discussing the harvesting of body parts of aborted babies.  She went into morbid detail while munching on a salad and drinking a glass of wine. 

Being post-abortive, this latest atrocity not only broke my heart, but I was also shrouded once again with overwhelming regret over my decision to abort so many years ago.  The nightmares have returned with graphic reenactments of the details Dr. Nucatola so dispassionately divulged between bites of lettuce. 

How many other post-abortive women are going through the same despair?  Yes, I’ve been through a healing program, in fact, I am a facilitator of one and thank God I have the tools that will, in time, help me get through this latest crisis.  But what about those who have not yet reached out for help dealing with their regret?  I can only imagine the heart-wrenching anguish they must be experiencing.

The only positive that came out of Dr. Nucatola’s callous lunch conversation was the affirmation that abortion does destroy life.  She speaks of muscles and organs, all parts of a human being (e.g. “A lot of people want intact hearts these days.”).  I pray those comments sear the truth into the hearts of pro-aborts and end this barbarity once and for all. 

For the women who have had an abortion … or for anyone involved in the decision:

Be assured there is light at the top of the dark abyss of pain, shame and regret.  There is hope, there is healing.  We can’t turn back the hands of time, but we can move forward with the love and mercy of God and support of others that have walked the same path.  You are not alone…
