FAQs

When questions from and conversations with women in Nepal and a movie about World War II converged, the trajectory of my life changed. I was hurled from the flow of ordinary, anonymous living and called to write to women who are bound by the unfreedom unleashed by abortion.

Millions of women whose past includes abortion continue to travail, silently and subconsciously, in the aftermath of that trauma. They unconsciously trudge in despair. They're hiding without hope and without light in the shadows of doubts, grief, guilt, and shame. They need to know their foremost needs—forgiveness and true freedom—are in their future.

Many women become so comfortable with the wounds of their choice that they don't recognize the invisible chains that keep them from living their best lives. It's equally possible they've resigned themselves to the belief that they deserve these wounds and shackles. The good news is that healing and inner peace are available.

Here's the crux of the matter: In spite of all the preconceived beliefs and cognitive biases, abortion is not a political issue. It's a matter of life and death, so it's truly a human issue. A universal concern. My focus has nothing to do with politics, morality, or ideology. These are important subjects; however, my emphasis is on the mothers.
