My best friend got pregnant in highschool. She was 17. We were 4 months from graduation. She got pregnant by her boyfriend at the time and she was terrified to tell her dad. Her boy friend and his family were even telling her to get an abortion. But she didn't want to do that so they told her to give it up for adoption. They even used threats like "you wont finish school" and "your future will be ruined". She stopped talking to them and wanted to consult her dad first. Her dad was a single father and they were struggling for money, her dad was late on paying bills. And he was not financially stable. But she needed me there to share the news with her dad. So I was there and she told him. He was so angry I remember him telling her that he will take care of it and that she is getting an abortion and he will take her to a clinic. He said that he had his girlfriend get an abortion when they were teens and it was the best decision he ever made. My friend was in tears at that point and didn't know what to say. But I knew that she didn't want one and she was firm on that. After graduation her dad slowly started to accept that she was going to be a mom. And wow did he change. She had a baby boy and that boy had him wrapped around his finger. He was obsessed with his grandson. He wanted to spend every minute of his free time with him. They were inseparable. FYI she graduated high school, went to college and got her Masters and got her dream job as a counselor.
It takes a strong person to stand up and do what is the right thing. If parents force anyone to get an abortion that is not okay and in that case that is mental abuse and you need to pick the life of the child.
Great story. Based on statistics though, teenage pregnancies are more likely to cause problems than good. So let's stop romanticizing teenage pregnancies too much. Minors having children are not good for the society.
@@religiondoesntpaytaxes7861 no one is romanticizing it. And having babies isnt bad for society. What's bad for society is kids having the mentality that they can do what they want and have no consequences. It's on the parents to raise their kids correctly and teach them about sex and abstinence. You dont punish the baby for the action on the parents.
@@Caine_House I agree it's better. But that was not was I was questioning. Also we who are Pro-Life, at leat I thought, we were against children getting pregnant and having children themselves. There are people in our societies who should not get pregnant in the first place and we should work to that goal. We don't want people who live filthy lives (e.g. mental illness, alcohol and substance abuse) or underage children to get pregnant. Nor do we want people who are abusive etc. to have children if we have reason to believe they will mistreat the baby. So we need to prevent irresponsible people and (teennage) girls from getting pregnant to begin with. That starts with having strong, intact families, having a very close relationship with our children, instil biblical morals and values in them and making sure nobody touches our children. And if God forbid something horrible happens not to make them bear the consequences of what wasn't their fault. The Bible does say "the seed of the unrighteous shall be cut off" so I wouldn't mind giving a rape victim the Plan B pill, it's up to her if she uses it or not. Other than that I'd strongly suggest to protect our children from the garbage and filth of this world and thst they keep themselves pure and holy and they keep themselves for marriage both boys and girls. After all, we don't want to foster an environment where they just have sex frivolously and get pregnant. Now we're coming full circle. Babies all are a product of sex when the viable sperm meets an egg that can be fertilized. It is a sacred thing and not to be done lightly, so unless one's ready for a baby DON'T DO IT.
@@B.A.B.G. I already said teen pregnancies are bad. These girls are making terrible decisions, but once again, murder shouldn't even be an option. Maybe I can see your point when it comes to an extremely young rape victim, but other than that rare case, I don't believe in an innocent being murdered.
She didn't say whether the abortion ruined her relationship with her parents, but I'm sure it did. Shame on her father for threatening suicide if she didn't comply.
@@allysonh6410 There’s a chance that she’s still in denial to this day about her family’s actions or even that she doesn’t realize how bad their behavior was.
It sounds like the parents were worried about their reputations in the neighborhood . I pray for your baby and hope you're able to have children in the future some women are infertile due to abortion
I could never say that to my child go kill your own baby because you’re going to ruin our reputation, and it’s so sad how these clinics they’re lying to you just so they can make $$, unacceptable
That is really heartbreaking... I'm 15 and can only imagine how terrible that experience was. I think your parents should have been more supportive... After all, they're your parents and should care about your well-being both mentally, emotionally and physically. You are a really strong woman, Thanks for sharing your story . God bless you❤️💜
WTF really??? My mother had me young and all is good. So you go and have sex without protection then when you find out your pregnant you just kill the baby. Who cares because it's not physically infront of you. But once you have that baby and you kill it its murder... PLEASE MAKE IT MAKE SCINSE!!!! It never will because the internet has manipulated us onto thinking that it's okay. She is still pain and hurting but who cares long as the doctor pluked the baby out right???? This world is so messed up.
@@ayuanabradford3206 she won't be damaged goods but I ould not want to be with her because I don't want to raise another man's kid. I wanna start my own family and make my own kids with my blood with my wife.
@@ayuanabradford3206 a) who cares what most guys think. B) a woman or man should not be devalued just because they already have children with someone else. c) different strokes for different folks. There are plenty of people who don’t mind dating and marrying someone who already has kids. D) that’s not a good reason to get an abortion.
Serena, thank you for sharing your story with us. Your voice is important and the more you speak, the more lives you will save. I pray for you my sister.
Even though Planned Parenthood did not do the abortion against her will, they still failed her. They sent Serena back home to parents who were coercive and emotionally manipulative. They could have acted in her best interests as mandated reporters and informed the Dept. of Children's Services. Having a third party put together a family services plan or alternative living arrangement can ease the tension and create space for everyone to process this "crisis". Going home after refusing the abortion initially put Serena in jeopardy for being abused.
Planned Parenthood DID INDEED fail her. They killed her baby. And they clearly failed the baby by killing it. Abortion is a word we use to avoid using the word that actually describes it: killing. We've been kinda trained to do it by people who insist on never using the actual correct term.
Why would PP care? They kill babies so what's it to them if the baby's mother is abused? Abusers of women are the very people most likely to give them more bu$ine$$. What you describe is done by pro life pregnancy centers every single day. These centers are solely dependent on donations to keep operating - unlike PP which rakes in billion$$$ from our tax dollars on top of what they extort from desperate girls and their abusers.
Lmaaaaaooooo omg you think planned Parenthood actually cares about the girls who are forced to abort!? That's so adorable i remember when i was that naive before i was forced into an abortion by a sex trafficker and the "nice" lady at planned Parenthood told him if he had other girls he needed to have cleaned out because she can give him either a discount or give every single girl a planned Parenthood only medical card that only covers abortion. This was in California btw the state that says abortion is health care
Your story invoked a lot of heartbreak and anger in me. Your parents, whether they knew it or not, put their negative feelings, responsibility and burdens on you. They weren't there for you when you desperately needed them. I pray that they have repented and healed from their deep sins. I know that many other families are struggling with this, too, and I hope that this story will help them heal and rethink they way they are treating their daughter in her hour of need. Thank you and Live Action for featuring these stories, and may God continue to bless you.
@@megalopolis2015 I get that there suggestion was wrong but they had the right to have those negative feelings about the situation because of their child's disobedience and irresponsibility that got her pregnant before she even begun to become an adult. puberty ends at 15, of course they were heartbroken. However, I don't think it's right for you or anyone to feel entitled to her receiving her parents' help because that's a choice she made and has to take full responsibility of it and live with the consequences as well. Her parents should have simply allowed to take care of the situation. Their interference at this point, was wrong. They should have just said if she's grown enough to sleep with a guy, grown enough to want to keep the child, she's grown enough to care for her child. I don't know if it was the stress of having to raise another child unplanned for that caused them panic or if it was all the sudden difficulties their daughter will face or how vulnerable the child will be for growing up without a father. However, despite her parents' wrong suggestion, it doesn't mean they weren't betrayed or understandable that they should have been expected to brush it off as if nothing happened I'm also surprised with how you ask repentance from parents for their wrong suggestion about the abortion but you don't ask the same for the girl for sleeping with someone and creating the entire situation and then aborting to repent I have empathy for the girl, and I wish her healing but I also understand her parents. It's difficult to raise a child who wants to do whatever they want.
@@dearbrave4183 The girl had to repent, as well, but the fact was that she was honoring her parents, and was in many ways under their control. A human brain is not fully formed until around age twenty-five, and is significantly developed between eighteen and twenty-one, so in many ways we are often at the mercy of our primary caregivers until then. It's another great reason, as well, to not have sex until marriage.
God forgive her parents for the evil they did to both their daughter and grandchild. My heart just breaks for you. Thank you to share your story. You will save others from this pain because you are so brave to share what you've gone through.
@@paulinebeck4269 and plus, most liberal parents will coerce their daughters into abortions and manipulate them. Her parents were high on torture and manipulation.
This is beyond devastating. It's beyond my vocabulary how demonic it is that the parents did not even consider that they were murdering their own grandchild and destroying their daughter. Glad you've pulled through this. Please continue to speak out!😢
I can agree on the fact that the parents destroyed there daughter emotionally, however saying that they murdered there granddaughter is very exaggerated. now if the parents strangled the baby, left the baby to starve to death in a closet, buried the baby alive in their backyard, hit the baby enough until it died from brain damage, or left it outside in the cold until it freezes to death, than yes that is murdering their granddaughter. Calling abortion murder is the same as saying eating scrambled eggs is killing a chicken.
@@psychotic_lovers9281 First off who said granddaughter? Secondly aborting a baby is exactly that.. mur der.. when politicians are fighting to allow abortions up until delivery how exactly is that like eating scrambled eggs? Your UA-cam name fits you perfectly..
@@arizonagirl6474 Let me clarify firstly, if whatever is out of the womb, or egg is killed by a human or animal it’s technically murder because once something hatches, or is out of the womb once out, its considered an independent life form. You seemed to have misunderstood me. I don’t consider something that hasn’t even begun its own existence/doesn’t even have its own existing conscious to be murder. However once outside the egg or womb than it is its own existence, and has its own unique conscience.
I am weeping for these women. I conceived through rape but had some support from my parents. I cannot imagine how horrible it must be for young women like this forced to kill their children through coercion by the child’s grandparents. I’m so sorry you had to experience this. You are brave. We have failed you as a society. As women. As adults. As mothers. As sisters. As daughters. Thank you for sharing your story. I love you.
@@Justme-oo5oe Don't you worry about her genes from her father? Did he ever get punished? If not then why not? Are you going to tell your daughter that her father is a rapist?
@@Justme-oo5oe Yay!! there are so many moms like us. We are silenced by the liars who profit off of abortion. We will not be silenced and be used by this corrupted evil group who want babies dead for their financial benefit. I'm so proud of you and thankful for more moms like us.
@@michellemcdermott2026 Thank you, Michelle. I receive. your love and send some right back to you for loving me!!! Know that I did nothing difficult. It was not a difficult choice to not kill my son. I promise. I knew what abortion was and I would not do such a violent thing to my baby whom I loved within seconds of knowing him in my womb. I actually experienced more trauma from the "professionals" who encouraged me to kill my son.
I cannot understand how a parent forces their own daughter to go through with an abortion or give it up for adoption someone that's part of their own blood. The only reason I see is they must be very insecure people who need others approval and can't handle being disapproved or shunned by others, they are so worried about their reputation and what others are going to think that they rather disapprove and shun their own child. I'm so glad she found healing and is telling her story. She has a beautiful family.
I almost had an abortion, but I accidentally had an vaginal ultrasound at six weeks (I didn't even know there was such a thing). The tech said to me, "thats your baby's heartbeat", as it played on the monitor, at that moment I was done with the idea of having an abortion, and I am so glad I chose life. My beautiful daughter is now 23, and over the years, I have have made a full 180° turn from pro-choice to staunch pro-life.
@@samg873 And the babies father should go with her! Not done and done! The men always take off! They need to bear responsibility and maybe a lot of unwanted pregnancies would be avoided!
Lila, your next series of videos should be about Teen Mom’s who kept their babies and couldn’t be happier, that would be great! I became pregnant with my first at 18 and I was unmarried . The product of that pregnancy is now a beautiful almost 19 year old girl, her Father and I have been married for 17 years now. ❤
@@sofiblinka2300 my sister is too! She had her son at 16 and he is now in his 30’s and a father himself. He was a blessing to my whole family and he always will be.
I am so sorry that your family did that to you. That is horrible and it should have never happened to you. I am so glad that you have been able to find healing from this devastating part of your life and I am so thankful that you are sharing your story and trying to help others. I pray for your continued healing and that your story may touch many lives for the better.
I've never been the same, since I got an abortion. The aftermath, the feelings u feel, the regret, the depression. I was young then. It's been over 20 years and I wonder about my baby.
Thank you so much for being so brave and vulnerable to share your story. I'm sure many people have been touched by you sharing your experience. I'm so happy to hear that you have received healing. ❤️
It seems a little late to be brave now instead of when her baby needed her to be brave and not murder it. She isn't brave she is guilty looking for vindication that only god can give her not any of us are able to give it to her. If she has truly had and awakening and asked God for forgiveness that is all the vindication she needs not telling the world it is not her fault ,but her parents. Lot's of girls have babies without their parents and choose not to murder their own child. The baby would have given her all the hope and inspiration to succeed and she wouldn't have blood on her hands. Abortion is horrible abortion is murder and praise God Roe v Wade was reversed. Please ladies quit killing your own flesh and blood. Do not be deceived God is not mocked whatever we sow we are surely going to reap.
@@elizabethferroni9766 We get it you don't like abortion so don't ever have one! Focus on helping where you are needed! Adopt a dozen babies! Until then shut your pie hole!
I’m so so glad that I never listened to my ex husband or my friends to have an abortion for my three babies when I was a teenager. I knew it was wrong and I’m so so thankful that I follow my gut instinct and did what it was the right thing to do. Now I have 3 adult kids. Girl is a cosmetologist married and making a difference in peoples lifes. Boy A future firefighter working in the family business right now with a kind heart. And my last child a girl. Married dedicated her life to god and a future teacher. Abortion is not the answer. Don’t get rid of your baby.
My heart broke for you watching this, I cannot even imagine. I am so proud of you for making this your ministry, God takes our pain and uses it for His glory !
I knew a girl in high school and she was also forced to have an abortion, when she came back to school she was never the same, she had deep cuts on her arms I still feel for her and I’m almost 31.
I could not watch all of this. My heart goes out to this young woman. She's still young. It's too late for me. I relate to her with my whole heart. I am 65. The majority of the 3 minutes I did listen to, a lot could have been my story. Listen to what your whole being as a woman and mother is telling you despite what the world tells you. What your parents tell you. What the man tells you. What your so called friends tell you. Pressuring you into an abortion is NOT love. I had more than one abortion. This will be a lifelong regret that is more painful than most things we suffer in life. Self-inflicted. I am a murderer. I murdered my babies. Abortion is murder. Women have been lied to for half a century. Abortion does NOT make your life better. When I got pregnant with my daughter, the father told me that the baby wasn't his and he wanted me to abort my baby. I could not have another abortion. I felt suicidal. I kept my baby. I worked fulltime and raised her by myself. She is now in her 30s. I cannot imagine life without her. Do NOT let anyone tell you the best thing for you is an abortion and you will not be able to raise the baby by yourself. The pro abortion movement is a LIE and evil. Just like so many movements today. Even though I got to be a mother in this lifetime - the best gift from God in my life - my daughter - I more than regret my abortions and suffer painful remorse every day of my life. I wonder every day what my beautiful children would have looked like and who they would have been in life. I took their life away from them. I wish I had stood up for my babies and myself. For young women, do NOT let this become your story. The world tells lies. This brave young woman is telling the TRUTH. I see that UA-cam has put a disclaimer on this video entitled "Abortion Health" - that's an oxymoron. There is NOTHING healthy or healthful about abortion.
@Margo Channing I'm 66 and we have lived the same lie. The only hope I have is that I'm forgiven by Christ and someday I will see my children in heaven. There are so many of us that were lied to and succumbed to those lies directly from the pit at the expense of children lost. To future girls/women please choose a different way of dealing with pregnancy. Please! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@TravelingwiththeGramkracker I am a follower of Jesus. God has forgiven me but I cannot forgive myself. I too, hope to see my children in heaven and ask them for forgiveness. That God entrusted me with my beautiful daughter is something that I thank God for every day. Having her and raising her by myself revealed the lies. Everything we are told about abortion being "good for us" and "healthy" is a lie. I am thankful for this series of videos because we are finally given a voice after 50 years. I pray to God we are not silenced. I will add to your plea that young women should make a choice but those choices should be made before engaging in sex and in choosing males that will actually love, cherish and respect them and truly want to be with them in a committed relationship. I wish I had made much more discriminating choices in men and waited until I was happily married in a genuine love relationship. I also wish that I had devoutly followed Jesus Christ much earlier in my life and followed God's Word, Will and Way, my life would still have had challenges but life would have been so much easier with little anxiety or fear. At 65, I know the TRUTH and read and study the Bible every day. I regret killing my babies every day of my life and know how precious and most important being a mother is, and how precious and most important a child is - a gift from God.
@@TravelingwiththeGramkracker @Margo Channing May God heal you and bless you for speaking up about what happened to you, for telling the TRUTH. I am so tired of pro-abortionists claiming they support women. They don't. They only support destroying women and teaching them lies lies and more lies - about themselves, about men, about children, about family, and about God. Lord save us from these wolves.
I pray for your healing. I too, am guilty of the sin of trying to murder my daughter 23 years ago through abortion. I was literally demon possessed that's the only way I can describe how I choose to go and lay on a table to kill my own kid. The only thing that stopped my daughter from being sucked out my womb was I was too far along. I remember leaving that place and like a light switch I came back to my right mind, I cried deep from my soul when I realized what I tried to do, my daughter found out at the age of 11 by her father's mother that I tried to abort her and it was devastating, there was no excuse I could ever give. My daughter finding out was the beginning of my repentance and healing, even though my daughter lived I was still guilty of murder in God's eye. It took years of deliverance for myself and forgiveness from my daughter in order for me to not live in shame.
@@jackiesteward5282 I will never heal from murdering my babies. I pray to God to forgive me. I cannot forgive myself. Never will. I know what I did and how that affected my whole life. I am glad, with my daughter, that I finally did what my heart told me to do and stood up for my daughter and myself instead of listening to everyone from my mother to my "best friend" to the father who did not want the responsibility. Believe me, these people will not love you because you did what they wanted you to do. If they loved the person, they would not be coercing them into murdering babies, they would be helping and morally supporting the pregnant mom.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it ring with so much truth. I have a story much like yours, I was 13 and had an abortion, went through alcoholism and addiction and infertility. By God's grace I had my one and only son at 39 years old. And I'm finally starting to heal my heart from the baby that was stripped from me. I can wait for the day when I get to see them in heaven.
This story makes even more grateful that I had a prolife mother who talked to me about premarital sex, pregnancy and abortion. And she told me to please not get an abortion if I were to get pregnant, that she would be there for me and baby… It’s so sad that not everyone has that support and love from their parents/guardians…😢 and is especially atrocious when there’s parents that are willing to push their daughters into an abortion for their own sakes, not taking the emotional and spiritual and physical toll it’ll take on their child into account. 😞 Thank you for sharing. ❤
I've had this conversation with my girls. Covering everything, they are teens, so I covered everything including if someone violated them. Abortion is simply not going to happen here. I will take care of any child. And if something terrible happens to tell me immediately so I can take them to a hospital where emergency contraception will be given and evidence can be collected and charges filed as soon as possible. I had some trauma in my life and my biggest regret was being to afraid to say anything. Of course that just empowered him to hurt others. I'm not my mother. Lord help any man that hurts one of my kids.
In turn, you will save lives for bringing your trauma to light. I saw my best friend go thru this stuff from, then boyfriend to rehabilitation from abortion.. It was truly a heartbreaking to watch her go thru it. But in turn, she saved my children lives so to speak...oddly mine too. I hope you find peace God knows your heart 💕
Thank you for sharing your story! I was a young adult when I had that choice. I believe I wanted to keep it but was fearful of what that may mean. I talked with my mom and my own mother was okay with me having an abortion saying that by having the child it would ruin my future when I had my whole life ahead of me. I regret this decision every day and this was over 10 years ago. I also wrote a poem for my unborn. It's very difficult to talk about at times and I am still very ashamed. But having gone through with an abortion I am still pro-choice, but I urge anyone considering it to not go through with it. I'm glad to hear you have kids now though. I unfortunately do not and fear I won't ever had children and children is something I have always wanted. I've always wanted to be a mom. And I messed up that opportunity, big time. My experience around this topic has brought me to the Lord, I did not believe in Jesus before, but this instance brought me to the Lord and I feel like he has forgiven me, I just haven't forgiven me. It's a process... I will not ever make that choice again and if I could change my decision I would. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope I am able to share mine some day... Other than as a random commenter on UA-cam...
So, despite becoming Christian, you are still prochoice, but you also urge anyone considering it not go through with it????????? My dear sister, YOU ARE CONFUSED. Ask JESUS for wisdom and embrace clarity.
oh baby girl my heart breaks for you ..... there is nothing that can excuse what you were put through .... I hope someday you can heal and forgive your parents and even yourself...... may peace find you and joy of a different future now that you have overcome this horrible experience..... may it be strength in the future with your beautiful family God bless you
7:40 and this is when I start to cry. The whole video is so very sad but I couldn't hold back the tears at this point. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and can't imagine being forced to go through what you went through. My heart breaks for you! Truely.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Please keep sharing. I’m so terribly sorry your parents didn’t support you when you needed it the most. They lost their first grand child but they were so blinded by the situation that they didn’t think about that. It hurts my heart the most when I hear of parents coercing and threatening when they should be the ones helping and cheering you on the most! I’m so glad you found healing and for the beautiful family you have now. 💗💗
Glory to God for healing you. I lost my baby at 9 weeks and had to get a D&C. I was the worst feeling and held on to that pain for many years. It’s a miracle that after that I was blessed with 2 boys. My obgyn said there was a little complication on my last pregnancy and I shouldn’t even have been able to give birth due to the D&C procedure. I thank and give glory to Jesus for healing me and blessing me with 2 boys 🕊️
They usually do things differently with a D&C. I have had 2. One was from a missed miscarriage and the other for retained tissues after a stillbirth. They give you something to take the night before to make the process less damaging to your cervix. It softens it and helps it open up so there is less force involved. It doesn't sound like they do that for an actual abortion. I have heard at least a few people's stories and it is never mentioned.
Her mom is just as guilty as the dad. This story happens every day. Grandparents are just as guilty. People PRAY to break strongholds in your family's past
I still regret my abortion after 40 years! It hurts 😢unimaginable! When I see a baby or young child I cry inside! I had three children before, I became selfish, thought I cannot raise another child with my husband… 😢
This little angel in heaven is looking over for you sweet lady! Your baby pain and your pain will not be in vain! I feel you will save many many many babies
Dearest Serena, I just want to thank you for your courage to share your story! Sometimes we make really bad choices and yet you are willing to share the ups, the downs, and all the obstacles that you had to face! You can't know how many women, how many young girls, how many teenagers your story will affect and how you can encourage them to rethink their choices! So thank you, and may God bless you richly! 💖🙏💖
My mom once revealed at a doctors appointment that she had abortion once in 2021. I was 16 then. Before I found out, I never had strong opinions about abortion and thought that women can get abortions if they wanted to. When I found out, it was then I knew I hated abortion and I got so upset abt the fact that she got abortion to the point where I didn't even want to talk to my mom about it (and I never did because of how upset I was). I could've had another sibling, and I've always wanted another one. The fact that there are so many women who actually want to get abortion just breaks my heart.
When i learned that my mother in law killed her child in an abortion, 2 years after giving birth to my husband, i felt sick to my stomach. I don't see her the same way as i did anymore.
I just hope you didn't take it out on your mom and actually spoke to her about it and why she felt that she had to have one. As I'm reading your comment it just sounded so selfish and tone-deaf...and I just felt for your poor mother that had to carry this shame and guilt and then get thrown under the bus by her own child later...I might just be reading more into it than you meant though. I mean what if your mother was like the woman in the video who was basically forced to have an abortion?
@@Schaemia Maybe her mother knew she couldn't have another baby to raise! An adult should be able to make their own decisions. No child should be born not wanted!
@@daveshoemaker7137 this person's mom may not have wanted the baby but it sounds like the daughter wanted the baby so she would have loved to have had that sibling. She may have even gone out of her way to take care of the baby herself if her mom really didn't want the baby but she did it without even talking to anybody it sounds like or at least not her.
God bless you, Serena! And, looks like He has... a beautiful family you have, dear! And when you meet your 1st child in Heaven, know that none of this will matter anymore 💝
I know two 15 year olds whose father made them abort their child. Both had mental problem afterwards. They both had 4 children later in life. So sad. Thanks for being brave and it will help others.
The picture at the end really reminds you of how sad and wrong abortion is. You see the picture of the 6 and just think that there would've been 7. There's one missing from the picture who may have had children themself by now, so there may be two or more missing from the picture. I wonder if her father or mother ever apologized to her for forcing and begging her to have an abortion. I wonder if that doctor is still killing babies. Either way, I'm glad God has given her peace and healing and glad God has blessed her with such a beautiful family.
Sobbing.. mama you are so strong and amazing. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. You are so good, God love you no matter what💜 Thank you for sharing
What a beautiful soul you have. Your voice will touch many 🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜😊 Many years ago at age 15 I was badgered day after day & told my baby was only tissue among other things. I finally broke partly bc I was weak physically & emotionally & agreed to the abortion 😢 He would be 44yrs old. All 5 of my other children were also early. I thank God I was still blessed with them 💜💗
I read book “Spirit babies” by Walter Makichen. He is clairvoyant who specifically helped babies to get to their parents. Maybe you can find peace in this book.
@@anastasiakholod2222 God the creator of heaven & earth & all souls has each & every one of these precious souls aborted or otherwise. If Jesus is Lord of our lives I believe we will see our babies in heaven after we pass from this life to eternity
Thanks for sharing your story. I’m so sorry you had to go through that at fifteen. Sorry that your parents weren’t more supportive of you and forced you to have an abortion as no parent should ever do that. I’m so glad that you are married now and have a beautiful family. So blessed to have five children. Hope the rest of your life with your family is filled with much happiness, love and blessings. May God be with you always. 😘♥️🙏🙏
It just shows that laws protect the abortionist and the abusers. Pro-abortion laws are intended to protect anyone who aides in an abortion from being punished. Even when it's unwanted.
As a man, I can't imagine the pressure any young woman meets in a situation like this. God offers redemption to all, no matter what, and I am glad that Serena found it, and also found happiness and many children through marriage. I find it tragic that her parents were so hostile. I remember when my son's girlfriend thought she may be pregnant and thus abortion, I was horrified: I wanted that child born, and I would look after it. There was no other option to me. Not trying to be saintly, nor condemn Serena's parents, just trying to share the idea that ALL life is God given, wonderful, and worth protecting. I'm 60, I have 4 children, and when asked I freely say that if I had to do it again it would be 8, or 10 - because THERE IS NOTHING BETTER!
Serena, what a beautiful heart you have. You tried so hard to keep your Angel. I’m so sorry you were violated this way but congratulate you for being strong enough to allow God to use your experience to help others! You work now with that precious child and will rejoice together on life review, to see all the good you created, all the pain you helped the vulnerable circumvent. Thank you for sharing your very important message!
You are so brave to open up about your story🥺🙏❤ I love how you said that there is hope and there is healing ❤🙏You are an encouragement for a lot of woman❤
I didn't think this would make me sob, but here we are. Such a beautiful testimony. Bless you sister. So happy to hear you went on to have beautiful children and healing.
Thank you for being brave enough to share your story. God Bless you and your Ministry and Memory Eternal to the baby you lost to abortion. His/her soul is with the Lord now. I'm glad you recieved healing and know the Lord loves you so much and forgives. Please continue to share your story. It is a Blessing to be able to help others after what you have been through. God Bless you always and forever.🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗
Thank you so much for speaking out on this incredibly painful topic. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your beautiful children richly. I had an abortion 9 years ago and it was the worst thing I’ve ever done. if i could go back in time and change it, i would in a heartbeat! It’s taken years of time and much prayer and deliverance to become healed from that. You are SO strong. Psalm 147:3 ❤🙏🏼
I'm feeling my baby move and kick as I watch this.... I have had 2 miscarriages at 8 weeks and abortion angers me to the core because I see all these moms wanting children and like me I loose them then people go kill??!! After watching this I understand you and I'm sure others have been forced into this and it wasn't your choice to do so and that breaks my heart for you!!! I encourage you to forgive yourself and those that manipulated you as hard as that sounds with God all things are possible!!!!! Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies!!! Love to you!
Amen! You'll get to see your precious baby when you get to heaven. Praise our Lord Jesus for making that reunion possible. (1 John 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I am a retired NICU nurse. We have a lot of early babies from mommies who had abortions. I was a teen mom who am now a great grandmother, retired, travel the world and marvel at the generations that were saved.
Yes her getting pregnant at a young age is shameful! Hopefully she will give her children sex education! What happened to the father of her aborted baby?
Hi Serena . I hope you are able to see this. my name is Naomi . Your story really touched me , thank you for sharing and being open. I had an abortion and my life has never been the same. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your story gave me true healing. God bless.
Wow this series of women sharing their abortion regret stories is sooooo powerful. Praying abortion minded women’s minds will be changed and abortion will finally come to an end.
Of all the powerful things you said one thing stood out to me because I'd never heard it before: the simple truth that "abortion didn't help me." Because that's the lie. That abortion will rescue you, take the burden away, give you your life back. But the pictures of your beautiful family prove that nothing could be further from the truth. I'm so thankful you know the Lord and He has redeemed your unspeakable pain. Thank you for telling women the truth, God bless you 💗
I see so many totally ugly comments here. This act of abortion is so horrible especially if you are forced into it. Your story is MY story! Only in 1974, it was not illegal to be forced into an abortion, I was 17, and much further along than you were. I lived with the evil spirit of murder for 40+years before healing came through a spiritual retreat and Jesus Christ. I have never told my story. Thank you for sharing yours. Jesus loves us and we are forgiven!
I cried 😢 I am so inspired by your story Serena. You are a wonderful mother 💖 . May God be with you and your wonderful family 😘 My sincere regards to you all. I am doubtful of my life. I always think that I don't have the ability to get married and start my own family. But after hearing your testimony I can now say that I am hopeful again because I trust the Lord will guide me just like he did for you 🙏
Broke my heart to hear your story. Couldn't help but weep for you. So grateful for your faith. Heavenly Father has you and your baby in His hands. You are a beautiful daughter of God. Much love to you and your beautiful family.😪💕😪💕
Thank you for your story, Serena. I can't ever understand how a father can do this to his daughter or other words how can you force someone to do an abortion.
I got pregnant at 15, I did not say anything until I was almost 5 months ( I know that's bad but I knew my mom and I was scared ) When she found out she was upset which definitely had that right as a mother. She started easing in that I get abortion ( she didn't know how far long I was, I was so thin and worked out so much that I didn't even look pregnant ) she started telling me how she did it before ( I never knew this ) and how it's okay to have an abortion and it's the best option. A baby would ruin my whole life, but I didn't want to do that. So she started yelling and forced me to call the clinic, when calling I was crying to the receptionist she kept asking me are you sure this is your decision? The whole time my mother is standing there so I'm having to lie and say yes. Set an appointment, my mother took me the next day and she was all happy saying "where should we go and eat after this?" You'll be fine! I did it!" When I went into the room, the Dr told me how far long I was and said I was over the weeks to be able to get an abortion but he knows someone who will do it for a thousand dollars, I remember walking real slow to my mom and little sister who was almost 2 at that time and telling her I wasn't able to because how far I was. When I told her that SHE SLAPPED ME and everyone just looked shocked. She started going off in the office, we got in the car and she drove me to the father's house and told him if you don't take her I will beat the Sh*t out of her. She said her BF wouldn't allow me to live there, pregnant.... My son is now almost 15 and I haven't seen or spoken to my mother in YEARS. Sorry for this rant, her story reminded me so much of myself, there is so much more 😢
@@Solace45 thank you so much for your kind words. Seriously. It was definitely an experience but unfortunately that wasn't what traumatize me the most from her...
I'm so glad she got healing from this...I'm going to have to forgive her parents and especially her dad. Does he feel better knowing that his daughter went through depression, suicide, and turmoil because he was too immature to be a FATHER to her, and threw a fit instead?
You are a beautiful lady, Serena, with a real message to share. I’m so glad you got the help you were not even aware you needed. Yours is a story that so many others are living thru now. My best friend died at 50 because of the broken heart she had from getting 2 abortions.. God Bless You.♥️
My best friend got pregnant in highschool. She was 17. We were 4 months from graduation. She got pregnant by her boyfriend at the time and she was terrified to tell her dad. Her boy friend and his family were even telling her to get an abortion. But she didn't want to do that so they told her to give it up for adoption. They even used threats like "you wont finish school" and "your future will be ruined". She stopped talking to them and wanted to consult her dad first. Her dad was a single father and they were struggling for money, her dad was late on paying bills. And he was not financially stable. But she needed me there to share the news with her dad. So I was there and she told him. He was so angry I remember him telling her that he will take care of it and that she is getting an abortion and he will take her to a clinic. He said that he had his girlfriend get an abortion when they were teens and it was the best decision he ever made. My friend was in tears at that point and didn't know what to say. But I knew that she didn't want one and she was firm on that. After graduation her dad slowly started to accept that she was going to be a mom. And wow did he change. She had a baby boy and that boy had him wrapped around his finger. He was obsessed with his grandson. He wanted to spend every minute of his free time with him. They were inseparable.
FYI she graduated high school, went to college and got her Masters and got her dream job as a counselor.
So good for her that is not how it usually goes!
@@daveshoemaker7137 you men don’t care because you benefit from women’s pain…
It takes a strong person to stand up and do what is the right thing. If parents force anyone to get an abortion that is not okay and in that case that is mental abuse and you need to pick the life of the child.
Great story. Based on statistics though, teenage pregnancies are more likely to cause problems than good. So let's stop romanticizing teenage pregnancies too much. Minors having children are not good for the society.
@@religiondoesntpaytaxes7861 no one is romanticizing it. And having babies isnt bad for society. What's bad for society is kids having the mentality that they can do what they want and have no consequences. It's on the parents to raise their kids correctly and teach them about sex and abstinence. You dont punish the baby for the action on the parents.
Her dad is a manipulator. Threatening to take your own life so someone can do something you want is absolutely disgusting. What a horrible parent
He is terribly weak man!!!
I'm sure getting pregnant at age 15 is beautiful in comparison. And I'm pro-life.
@@B.A.B.G.It's sure better than murder.
@@Caine_House I agree it's better. But that was not was I was questioning. Also we who are Pro-Life, at leat I thought, we were against children getting pregnant and having children themselves. There are people in our societies who should not get pregnant in the first place and we should work to that goal. We don't want people who live filthy lives (e.g. mental illness, alcohol and substance abuse) or underage children to get pregnant. Nor do we want people who are abusive etc. to have children if we have reason to believe they will mistreat the baby. So we need to prevent irresponsible people and (teennage) girls from getting pregnant to begin with. That starts with having strong, intact families, having a very close relationship with our children, instil biblical morals and values in them and making sure nobody touches our children. And if God forbid something horrible happens not to make them bear the consequences of what wasn't their fault. The Bible does say "the seed of the unrighteous shall be cut off" so I wouldn't mind giving a rape victim the Plan B pill, it's up to her if she uses it or not. Other than that I'd strongly suggest to protect our children from the garbage and filth of this world and thst they keep themselves pure and holy and they keep themselves for marriage both boys and girls. After all, we don't want to foster an environment where they just have sex frivolously and get pregnant. Now we're coming full circle. Babies all are a product of sex when the viable sperm meets an egg that can be fertilized. It is a sacred thing and not to be done lightly, so unless one's ready for a baby DON'T DO IT.
@@B.A.B.G. I already said teen pregnancies are bad. These girls are making terrible decisions, but once again, murder shouldn't even be an option. Maybe I can see your point when it comes to an extremely young rape victim, but other than that rare case, I don't believe in an innocent being murdered.
She didn't say whether the abortion ruined her relationship with her parents, but I'm sure it did. Shame on her father for threatening suicide if she didn't comply.
Honestly, that level of manipulation.
Yes, I wish she had addressed that. TERRIBLE
He sounds like a narcissist :(
@@allysonh6410 There’s a chance that she’s still in denial to this day about her family’s actions or even that she doesn’t realize how bad their behavior was.
Seriously!! I felt such disgust and anger when she said that.. that “father” is awful.
I literally don’t understand how a father could do this to his child and grandchild. 😪
Such a terrible violation of a child’s trust!
It sounds like the parents were worried about their reputations in the neighborhood . I pray for your baby and hope you're able to have children in the future some women are infertile due to abortion
I could never say that to my child go kill your own baby because you’re going to ruin our reputation, and it’s so sad how these clinics they’re lying to you just so they can make $$, unacceptable
Unimaginable his own flesh blood shame on him. He will answer to God for his hate.
He's a hero he did the right thing!!!!
That is really heartbreaking... I'm 15 and can only imagine how terrible that experience was. I think your parents should have been more supportive... After all, they're your parents and should care about your well-being both mentally, emotionally and physically.
You are a really strong woman, Thanks for sharing your story . God bless you❤️💜
When she said she could hear it being sucked out, it felt like someone punched my gut. I'm so sorry for her. Her parents are failures
True but most guys will call her damage goods if she had that child
WTF really??? My mother had me young and all is good. So you go and have sex without protection then when you find out your pregnant you just kill the baby. Who cares because it's not physically infront of you. But once you have that baby and you kill it its murder... PLEASE MAKE IT MAKE SCINSE!!!! It never will because the internet has manipulated us onto thinking that it's okay. She is still pain and hurting but who cares long as the doctor pluked the baby out right???? This world is so messed up.
@@ayuanabradford3206 she won't be damaged goods but I ould not want to be with her because I don't want to raise another man's kid. I wanna start my own family and make my own kids with my blood with my wife.
@@ayuanabradford3206 a) who cares what most guys think. B) a woman or man should not be devalued just because they already have children with someone else. c) different strokes for different folks. There are plenty of people who don’t mind dating and marrying someone who already has kids. D) that’s not a good reason to get an abortion.
Most times you can't feel the procedure so there's some cracks in her story..
Serena, thank you for sharing your story with us. Your voice is important and the more you speak, the more lives you will save. I pray for you my sister.

@@penelopephelange troll!
Even though Planned Parenthood did not do the abortion against her will, they still failed her. They sent Serena back home to parents who were coercive and emotionally manipulative. They could have acted in her best interests as mandated reporters and informed the Dept. of Children's Services. Having a third party put together a family services plan or alternative living arrangement can ease the tension and create space for everyone to process this "crisis". Going home after refusing the abortion initially put Serena in jeopardy for being abused.
Very good point!
Planned Parenthood DID INDEED fail her. They killed her baby. And they clearly failed the baby by killing it.
Abortion is a word we use to avoid using the word that actually describes it: killing. We've been kinda trained to do it by people who insist on never using the actual correct term.
Why would PP care? They kill babies so what's it to them if the baby's mother is abused? Abusers of women are the very people most likely to give them more bu$ine$$. What you describe is done by pro life pregnancy centers every single day. These centers are solely dependent on donations to keep operating - unlike PP which rakes in billion$$$ from our tax dollars on top of what they extort from desperate girls and their abusers.
Lmaaaaaooooo omg you think planned Parenthood actually cares about the girls who are forced to abort!? That's so adorable i remember when i was that naive before i was forced into an abortion by a sex trafficker and the "nice" lady at planned Parenthood told him if he had other girls he needed to have cleaned out because she can give him either a discount or give every single girl a planned Parenthood only medical card that only covers abortion. This was in California btw the state that says abortion is health care
Planned Parenthood doesn't care
Your story invoked a lot of heartbreak and anger in me. Your parents, whether they knew it or not, put their negative feelings, responsibility and burdens on you. They weren't there for you when you desperately needed them. I pray that they have repented and healed from their deep sins. I know that many other families are struggling with this, too, and I hope that this story will help them heal and rethink they way they are treating their daughter in her hour of need. Thank you and Live Action for featuring these stories, and may God continue to bless you.
How can you pray for them to repent when you have not?
@@freshliving4199 Excuse me, Ms. Perfect. SMH.
@@freshliving4199 Interesting comment. What do you think I need to repent of?
@@megalopolis2015 I get that there suggestion was wrong but they had the right to have those negative feelings about the situation because of their child's disobedience and irresponsibility that got her pregnant before she even begun to become an adult. puberty ends at 15, of course they were heartbroken.
However, I don't think it's right for you or anyone to feel entitled to her receiving her parents' help because that's a choice she made and has to take full responsibility of it and live with the consequences as well.
Her parents should have simply allowed to take care of the situation. Their interference at this point, was wrong.
They should have just said if she's grown enough to sleep with a guy, grown enough to want to keep the child, she's grown enough to care for her child.
I don't know if it was the stress of having to raise another child unplanned for that caused them panic or if it was all the sudden difficulties their daughter will face or how vulnerable the child will be for growing up without a father.
However, despite her parents' wrong
suggestion, it doesn't mean they weren't betrayed or understandable that they should have been expected to brush it off as if nothing happened
I'm also surprised with how you ask repentance from parents for their wrong suggestion about the abortion but you don't ask the same for the girl for sleeping with someone and creating the entire situation and then aborting to repent
I have empathy for the girl, and I wish her healing but I also understand her parents. It's difficult to raise a child who wants to do whatever they want.
@@dearbrave4183 The girl had to repent, as well, but the fact was that she was honoring her parents, and was in many ways under their control. A human brain is not fully formed until around age twenty-five, and is significantly developed between eighteen and twenty-one, so in many ways we are often at the mercy of our primary caregivers until then. It's another great reason, as well, to not have sex until marriage.
Thank you for sharing Serena! Speaking out against abortion is a beautiful tribute to your baby
So sorry your parents put you through that, your dad should be ashamed of himself😠
He thought he was doing the right thing. I’m sure one day he will realize what he did. There is no need to Shame him
@@brendabenitez7359 you don’t freakin threaten your own daughter w killing your self if you don’t abort, my gawd!
@Lotus Don't you think her mother wanted better for her daujghter?
I pray for your folks. That seems to me to be something that I could never recover from - forcing my daughter to end the life of my grandchild.
" We need to speak the truth and speak it loudly" powerful words!
This series of testimonials of the devastation of abortion is a blessing. Thank you
God forgive her parents for the evil they did to both their daughter and grandchild. My heart just breaks for you. Thank you to share your story. You will save others from this pain because you are so brave to share what you've gone through.
Unfortunately god didn't help her having parents like that.

This is beyond devastating. It's beyond my vocabulary how demonic it is that the parents did not even consider that they were murdering their own grandchild and destroying their daughter. Glad you've pulled through this. Please continue to speak out!😢
She is an actor reading a script!
@@daveshoemaker7137 how do you know
I can agree on the fact that the parents destroyed there daughter emotionally, however saying that they murdered there granddaughter is very exaggerated. now if the parents strangled the baby, left the baby to starve to death in a closet, buried the baby alive in their backyard, hit the baby enough until it died from brain damage, or left it outside in the cold until it freezes to death, than yes that is murdering their granddaughter. Calling abortion murder is the same as saying eating scrambled eggs is killing a chicken.
@@psychotic_lovers9281 First off who said granddaughter? Secondly aborting a baby is exactly that.. mur der.. when politicians are fighting to allow abortions up until delivery how exactly is that like eating scrambled eggs? Your UA-cam name fits you perfectly..
@@arizonagirl6474 Let me clarify firstly, if whatever is out of the womb, or egg is killed by a human or animal it’s technically murder because once something hatches, or is out of the womb once out, its considered an independent life form. You seemed to have misunderstood me. I don’t consider something that hasn’t even begun its own existence/doesn’t even have its own existing conscious to be murder. However once outside the egg or womb than it is its own existence, and has its own unique conscience.
I am weeping for these women. I conceived through rape but had some support from my parents. I cannot imagine how horrible it must be for young women like this forced to kill their children through coercion by the child’s grandparents. I’m so sorry you had to experience this. You are brave. We have failed you as a society. As women. As adults. As mothers. As sisters. As daughters. Thank you for sharing your story. I love you.

@@michellemcdermott2026 Thank you, Michelle. I receive. your love and send some right back to you for loving me!!! Know that I did nothing difficult. It was not a difficult choice to not kill my son. I promise. I knew what abortion was and I would not do such a violent thing to my baby whom I loved within seconds of knowing him in my womb. I actually experienced more trauma from the "professionals" who encouraged me to kill my son.
I cannot understand how a parent forces their own daughter to go through with an abortion or give it up for adoption someone that's part of their own blood. The only reason I see is they must be very insecure people who need others approval and can't handle being disapproved or shunned by others, they are so worried about their reputation and what others are going to think that they rather disapprove and shun their own child. I'm so glad she found healing and is telling her story. She has a beautiful family.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. When I saw what the baby looks like at 10 weeks I teared up a bit. So sorry you had to go through that
I almost had an abortion, but I accidentally had an vaginal ultrasound at six weeks (I didn't even know there was such a thing). The tech said to me, "thats your baby's heartbeat", as it played on the monitor, at that moment I was done with the idea of having an abortion, and I am so glad I chose life. My beautiful daughter is now 23, and over the years, I have have made a full 180° turn from pro-choice to staunch pro-life.

Thank you so much for being so brave and vulnerable to share your story. I'm sure many people have been touched by you sharing your experience. I'm so happy to hear that you have received healing. ❤️
It seems a little late to be brave now instead of when her baby needed her to be brave and not murder it. She isn't brave she is guilty looking for vindication that only god can give her not any of us are able to give it to her. If she has truly had and awakening and asked God for forgiveness that is all the vindication she needs not telling the world it is not her fault ,but her parents. Lot's of girls have babies without their parents and choose not to murder their own child. The baby would have given her all the hope and inspiration to succeed and she wouldn't have blood on her hands. Abortion is horrible abortion is murder and praise God Roe v Wade was reversed. Please ladies quit killing your own flesh and blood. Do not be deceived God is not mocked whatever we sow we are surely going to reap.

Abortion is not the answer. Don’t get rid of your baby.
My heart broke for you watching this, I cannot even imagine. I am so proud of you for making this your ministry, God takes our pain and uses it for His glory !
I knew a girl in high school and she was also forced to have an abortion, when she came back to school she was never the same, she had deep cuts on her arms I still feel for her and I’m almost 31.
I could not watch all of this. My heart goes out to this young woman. She's still young. It's too late for me. I relate to her with my whole heart. I am 65. The majority of the 3 minutes I did listen to, a lot could have been my story. Listen to what your whole being as a woman and mother is telling you despite what the world tells you. What your parents tell you. What the man tells you. What your so called friends tell you. Pressuring you into an abortion is NOT love. I had more than one abortion. This will be a lifelong regret that is more painful than most things we suffer in life. Self-inflicted. I am a murderer. I murdered my babies. Abortion is murder. Women have been lied to for half a century. Abortion does NOT make your life better. When I got pregnant with my daughter, the father told me that the baby wasn't his and he wanted me to abort my baby. I could not have another abortion. I felt suicidal. I kept my baby. I worked fulltime and raised her by myself. She is now in her 30s. I cannot imagine life without her. Do NOT let anyone tell you the best thing for you is an abortion and you will not be able to raise the baby by yourself. The pro abortion movement is a LIE and evil. Just like so many movements today. Even though I got to be a mother in this lifetime - the best gift from God in my life - my daughter - I more than regret my abortions and suffer painful remorse every day of my life. I wonder every day what my beautiful children would have looked like and who they would have been in life. I took their life away from them. I wish I had stood up for my babies and myself. For young women, do NOT let this become your story. The world tells lies. This brave young woman is telling the TRUTH. I see that UA-cam has put a disclaimer on this video entitled "Abortion Health" - that's an oxymoron. There is NOTHING healthy or healthful about abortion.
@Margo Channing I'm 66 and we have lived the same lie. The only hope I have is that I'm forgiven by Christ and someday I will see my children in heaven. There are so many of us that were lied to and succumbed to those lies directly from the pit at the expense of children lost. To future girls/women please choose a different way of dealing with pregnancy. Please! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@TravelingwiththeGramkracker I am a follower of Jesus. God has forgiven me but I cannot forgive myself. I too, hope to see my children in heaven and ask them for forgiveness. That God entrusted me with my beautiful daughter is something that I thank God for every day. Having her and raising her by myself revealed the lies. Everything we are told about abortion being "good for us" and "healthy" is a lie. I am thankful for this series of videos because we are finally given a voice after 50 years. I pray to God we are not silenced. I will add to your plea that young women should make a choice but those choices should be made before engaging in sex and in choosing males that will actually love, cherish and respect them and truly want to be with them in a committed relationship. I wish I had made much more discriminating choices in men and waited until I was happily married in a genuine love relationship. I also wish that I had devoutly followed Jesus Christ much earlier in my life and followed God's Word, Will and Way, my life would still have had challenges but life would have been so much easier with little anxiety or fear. At 65, I know the TRUTH and read and study the Bible every day. I regret killing my babies every day of my life and know how precious and most important being a mother is, and how precious and most important a child is - a gift from God.
@@TravelingwiththeGramkracker @Margo Channing May God heal you and bless you for speaking up about what happened to you, for telling the TRUTH. I am so tired of pro-abortionists claiming they support women. They don't. They only support destroying women and teaching them lies lies and more lies - about themselves, about men, about children, about family, and about God. Lord save us from these wolves.
I pray for your healing. I too, am guilty of the sin of trying to murder my daughter 23 years ago through abortion. I was literally demon possessed that's the only way I can describe how I choose to go and lay on a table to kill my own kid. The only thing that stopped my daughter from being sucked out my womb was I was too far along. I remember leaving that place and like a light switch I came back to my right mind, I cried deep from my soul when I realized what I tried to do, my daughter found out at the age of 11 by her father's mother that I tried to abort her and it was devastating, there was no excuse I could ever give. My daughter finding out was the beginning of my repentance and healing, even though my daughter lived I was still guilty of murder in God's eye. It took years of deliverance for myself and forgiveness from my daughter in order for me to not live in shame.
@@jackiesteward5282 I will never heal from murdering my babies. I pray to God to forgive me. I cannot forgive myself. Never will. I know what I did and how that affected my whole life. I am glad, with my daughter, that I finally did what my heart told me to do and stood up for my daughter and myself instead of listening to everyone from my mother to my "best friend" to the father who did not want the responsibility. Believe me, these people will not love you because you did what they wanted you to do. If they loved the person, they would not be coercing them into murdering babies, they would be helping and morally supporting the pregnant mom.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it ring with so much truth. I have a story much like yours, I was 13 and had an abortion, went through alcoholism and addiction and infertility. By God's grace I had my one and only son at 39 years old. And I'm finally starting to heal my heart from the baby that was stripped from me. I can wait for the day when I get to see them in heaven.
I am so sorry you had to face that reaction from your family.

I can’t stop thinking of her story. My heart goes out to her!
Wow! So you believe what this actor read to you! I hope they paid her enough!
This story makes even more grateful that I had a prolife mother who talked to me about premarital sex, pregnancy and abortion. And she told me to please not get an abortion if I were to get pregnant, that she would be there for me and baby… It’s so sad that not everyone has that support and love from their parents/guardians…😢 and is especially atrocious when there’s parents that are willing to push their daughters into an abortion for their own sakes, not taking the emotional and spiritual and physical toll it’ll take on their child into account. 😞 Thank you for sharing. ❤
I've had this conversation with my girls. Covering everything, they are teens, so I covered everything including if someone violated them. Abortion is simply not going to happen here. I will take care of any child. And if something terrible happens to tell me immediately so I can take them to a hospital where emergency contraception will be given and evidence can be collected and charges filed as soon as possible. I had some trauma in my life and my biggest regret was being to afraid to say anything. Of course that just empowered him to hurt others. I'm not my mother. Lord help any man that hurts one of my kids.
@@kristingallo2158 God bless you. That’s how a real momma should be there for her children!
@@kristingallo2158emergency contraception like Plan B? Isn't it abortifacient if the woman has conceived already?
This was absolutely devastating. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I’m a man and hearing your story brought tears to my eyes . Thank you
She was reading a script!
Thank you for bringing this to light.
It was a good story read by an actor! You'd believe anything!
In turn, you will save lives for bringing your trauma to light. I saw my best friend go thru this stuff from, then boyfriend to rehabilitation from abortion.. It was truly a heartbreaking to watch her go thru it. But in turn, she saved my children lives so to speak...oddly mine too.
I hope you find peace God knows your heart 💕
I am curious how your relationship is today with your parents, and how aware are they about how traumatic this experience was for you.
Who cares? As long as the doctor man PLUCKED the baby out ❤

Thank you for sharing your story! I was a young adult when I had that choice. I believe I wanted to keep it but was fearful of what that may mean. I talked with my mom and my own mother was okay with me having an abortion saying that by having the child it would ruin my future when I had my whole life ahead of me. I regret this decision every day and this was over 10 years ago. I also wrote a poem for my unborn. It's very difficult to talk about at times and I am still very ashamed. But having gone through with an abortion I am still pro-choice, but I urge anyone considering it to not go through with it. I'm glad to hear you have kids now though. I unfortunately do not and fear I won't ever had children and children is something I have always wanted. I've always wanted to be a mom. And I messed up that opportunity, big time. My experience around this topic has brought me to the Lord, I did not believe in Jesus before, but this instance brought me to the Lord and I feel like he has forgiven me, I just haven't forgiven me. It's a process... I will not ever make that choice again and if I could change my decision I would. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope I am able to share mine some day... Other than as a random commenter on UA-cam...
So, despite becoming Christian, you are still prochoice, but you also urge anyone considering it not go through with it?????????
My dear sister, YOU ARE CONFUSED.
Ask JESUS for wisdom and embrace clarity.
Your story needs to be heard and I thank God that you are strong enough to tell your story. May God always bless you and may you always bless God.
Like the rest of us, she needs God's forgiveness in Jesus Christ. He is the only Way (John 14:6)...
oh baby girl my heart breaks for you ..... there is nothing that can excuse what you were put through .... I hope someday you can heal and forgive your parents and even yourself...... may peace find you and joy of a different future now that you have overcome this horrible experience..... may it be strength in the future with your beautiful family God bless you
7:40 and this is when I start to cry. The whole video is so very sad but I couldn't hold back the tears at this point. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and can't imagine being forced to go through what you went through. My heart breaks for you! Truely.
I am so saddened for this women and how many women share her story. She is very brave to share it. May God have mercy on her parents.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Please keep sharing. I’m so terribly sorry your parents didn’t support you when you needed it the most. They lost their first grand child but they were so blinded by the situation that they didn’t think about that. It hurts my heart the most when I hear of parents coercing and threatening when they should be the ones helping and cheering you on the most! I’m so glad you found healing and for the beautiful family you have now. 💗💗
Thank you Serena. Prayers and blessings to you for your courage ❤
Glory to God for healing you. I lost my baby at 9 weeks and had to get a D&C. I was the worst feeling and held on to that pain for many years. It’s a miracle that after that I was blessed with 2 boys. My obgyn said there was a little complication on my last pregnancy and I shouldn’t even have been able to give birth due to the D&C procedure. I thank and give glory to Jesus for healing me and blessing me with 2 boys 🕊️
They usually do things differently with a D&C. I have had 2. One was from a missed miscarriage and the other for retained tissues after a stillbirth. They give you something to take the night before to make the process less damaging to your cervix. It softens it and helps it open up so there is less force involved. It doesn't sound like they do that for an actual abortion. I have heard at least a few people's stories and it is never mentioned.
Her mom is just as guilty as the dad. This story happens every day. Grandparents are just as guilty. People PRAY to break strongholds in your family's past
I still regret my abortion after 40 years! It hurts 😢unimaginable! When I see a baby or young child I cry inside! I had three children before, I became selfish, thought I cannot raise another child with my husband… 😢
This little angel in heaven is looking over for you sweet lady! Your baby pain and your pain will not be in vain! I feel you will save many many many babies
Dearest Serena, I just want to thank you for your courage to share your story! Sometimes we make really bad choices and yet you are willing to share the ups, the downs, and all the obstacles that you had to face! You can't know how many women, how many young girls, how many teenagers your story will affect and how you can encourage them to rethink their choices! So thank you, and may God bless you richly! 💖🙏💖
I’m so sorry that you have went through this. God bless you.
It is very sad her father told her it was wrong and then forced her to do that. Horrific.
HEARTBREAKING!!!!! 💔💔💔 I will never understand why some people think this horrible procedure is ok. ITS NOT OK!!!!!
I am so so so sorry you had to go through this and that your own parents treated you that way. I wish I could give you a big hug.
Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏🏿
Thank you for sharing this tragic story. It is SO important that you keep speaking out. Thank you so much. God bless you, Serena.
My mom once revealed at a doctors appointment that she had abortion once in 2021. I was 16 then. Before I found out, I never had strong opinions about abortion and thought that women can get abortions if they wanted to. When I found out, it was then I knew I hated abortion and I got so upset abt the fact that she got abortion to the point where I didn't even want to talk to my mom about it (and I never did because of how upset I was). I could've had another sibling, and I've always wanted another one. The fact that there are so many women who actually want to get abortion just breaks my heart.
When i learned that my mother in law killed her child in an abortion, 2 years after giving birth to my husband, i felt sick to my stomach. I don't see her the same way as i did anymore.
I just hope you didn't take it out on your mom and actually spoke to her about it and why she felt that she had to have one. As I'm reading your comment it just sounded so selfish and tone-deaf...and I just felt for your poor mother that had to carry this shame and guilt and then get thrown under the bus by her own child later...I might just be reading more into it than you meant though.
I mean what if your mother was like the woman in the video who was basically forced to have an abortion?
@@Schaemia she had the choice to get the abortion
@@Schaemia Maybe her mother knew she couldn't have another baby to raise! An adult should be able to make their own decisions. No child should be born not wanted!
@@daveshoemaker7137 this person's mom may not have wanted the baby but it sounds like the daughter wanted the baby so she would have loved to have had that sibling. She may have even gone out of her way to take care of the baby herself if her mom really didn't want the baby but she did it without even talking to anybody it sounds like or at least not her.
God bless you, Serena! And, looks like He has... a beautiful family you have, dear!
And when you meet your 1st child in Heaven, know that none of this will matter anymore
💝
This is so sad 😭😭😭. She is a really strong woman
I know two 15 year olds whose father made them abort their child. Both had mental problem afterwards. They both had 4 children later in life. So sad. Thanks for being brave and it will help others.
The picture at the end really reminds you of how sad and wrong abortion is. You see the picture of the 6 and just think that there would've been 7. There's one missing from the picture who may have had children themself by now, so there may be two or more missing from the picture. I wonder if her father or mother ever apologized to her for forcing and begging her to have an abortion. I wonder if that doctor is still killing babies.
Either way, I'm glad God has given her peace and healing and glad God has blessed her with such a beautiful family.
God bless you for sharing your story. God heals broken people.
Sobbing.. mama you are so strong and amazing. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. You are so good, God love you no matter what💜 Thank you for sharing
This story is so common. Thank you for sharing sister. We love you
Her parents deserve the shame here. Her father failed as a father, not because she got pregnant, but because he failed to minister to her heart.
thank you for sharing this story
What a beautiful soul you have. Your voice will touch many 🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜😊
Many years ago at age 15 I was badgered day after day & told my baby was only tissue among other things. I finally broke partly bc I was weak physically & emotionally & agreed to the abortion 😢 He would be 44yrs old. All 5 of my other children were also early. I thank God I was still blessed with them 💜💗
I read book “Spirit babies” by Walter Makichen. He is clairvoyant who specifically helped babies to get to their parents. Maybe you can find peace in this book.
@@anastasiakholod2222 God the creator of heaven & earth & all souls has each & every one of these precious souls aborted or otherwise. If Jesus is Lord of our lives I believe we will see our babies in heaven after we pass from this life to eternity
Thanks for sharing your story. I’m so sorry you had to go through that at fifteen. Sorry that your parents weren’t more supportive of you and forced you to have an abortion as no parent should ever do that. I’m so glad that you are married now and have a beautiful family. So blessed to have five children. Hope the rest of your life with your family is filled with much happiness, love and blessings. May God be with you always. 😘♥️🙏🙏
This isn’t a regret story. She never wanted one and was literally forced and abused into one.
It just shows that laws protect the abortionist and the abusers. Pro-abortion laws are intended to protect anyone who aides in an abortion from being punished. Even when it's unwanted.
As a man, I can't imagine the pressure any young woman meets in a situation like this. God offers redemption to all, no matter what, and I am glad that Serena found it, and also found happiness and many children through marriage. I find it tragic that her parents were so hostile. I remember when my son's girlfriend thought she may be pregnant and thus abortion, I was horrified: I wanted that child born, and I would look after it. There was no other option to me. Not trying to be saintly, nor condemn Serena's parents, just trying to share the idea that ALL life is God given, wonderful, and worth protecting. I'm 60, I have 4 children, and when asked I freely say that if I had to do it again it would be 8, or 10 - because THERE IS NOTHING BETTER!
Serena, what a beautiful heart you have. You tried so hard to keep your Angel. I’m so sorry you were violated this way but congratulate you for being strong enough to allow God to use your experience to help others! You work now with that precious child and will rejoice together on life review, to see all the good you created, all the pain you helped the vulnerable circumvent. Thank you for sharing your very important message!

This was an amazing testimony. Thank you for revealing the lies told to you. Hugs sist
Thank you so much for speaking out on this incredibly painful topic. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your beautiful children richly. I had an abortion 9 years ago and it was the worst thing I’ve ever done. if i could go back in time and change it, i would in a heartbeat! It’s taken years of time and much prayer and deliverance to become healed from that. You are SO strong. Psalm 147:3 ❤🙏🏼
God bless you and your baby!! You’re so brave for sharing this!! You’re saving lives!!
I'm feeling my baby move and kick as I watch this.... I have had 2 miscarriages at 8 weeks and abortion angers me to the core because I see all these moms wanting children and like me I loose them then people go kill??!! After watching this I understand you and I'm sure others have been forced into this and it wasn't your choice to do so and that breaks my heart for you!!! I encourage you to forgive yourself and those that manipulated you as hard as that sounds with God all things are possible!!!!! Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies!!! Love to you!
Amen! You'll get to see your precious baby when you get to heaven. Praise our Lord Jesus for making that reunion possible.
(1 John 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I hope this encourages her and other women that have had an abortion. ❤️ I can’t imagine the guilt and sadness she must feel. 😢
Bruh no...
I am a retired NICU nurse. We have a lot of early babies from mommies who had abortions. I was a teen mom who am now a great grandmother, retired, travel the world and marvel at the generations that were saved.
Thank you for taking something ugly and making it beautiful! Your story is inspiring!! ♡
Yes her getting pregnant at a young age is shameful! Hopefully she will give her children sex education! What happened to the father of her aborted baby?
Hi Serena . I hope you are able to see this. my name is Naomi . Your story really touched me , thank you for sharing and being open. I had an abortion and my life has never been the same. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your story gave me true healing. God bless.
Wow this series of women sharing their abortion regret stories is sooooo powerful. Praying abortion minded women’s minds will be changed and abortion will finally come to an end.
Never, women have body authonomy and fetus aren't always viable, women decide
Of all the powerful things you said one thing stood out to me because I'd never heard it before: the simple truth that "abortion didn't help me." Because that's the lie. That abortion will rescue you, take the burden away, give you your life back. But the pictures of your beautiful family prove that nothing could be further from the truth. I'm so thankful you know the Lord and He has redeemed your unspeakable pain. Thank you for telling women the truth, God bless you 💗
I see so many totally ugly comments here. This act of abortion is so horrible especially if you are forced into it. Your story is MY story! Only in 1974, it was not illegal to be forced into an abortion, I was 17, and much further along than you were. I lived with the evil spirit of murder for 40+years before healing came through a spiritual retreat and Jesus Christ. I have never told my story. Thank you for sharing yours. Jesus loves us and we are forgiven!
I cried 😢 I am so inspired by your story Serena. You are a wonderful mother 💖 . May God be with you and your wonderful family 😘 My sincere regards to you all.
I am doubtful of my life. I always think that I don't have the ability to get married and start my own family. But after hearing your testimony I can now say that I am hopeful again because I trust the Lord will guide me just like he did for you 🙏
Broke my heart to hear your story. Couldn't help but weep for you.
So grateful for your faith. Heavenly Father has you and your baby in His hands. You are a beautiful daughter of God. Much love to you and your beautiful family.😪💕😪💕
I'm so glad you are healed now and have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your story❤
Thank you for your story, Serena. I can't ever understand how a father can do this to his daughter or other words how can you force someone to do an abortion.
I got pregnant at 15, I did not say anything until I was almost 5 months ( I know that's bad but I knew my mom and I was scared )
When she found out she was upset which definitely had that right as a mother. She started easing in that I get abortion ( she didn't know how far long I was, I was so thin and worked out so much that I didn't even look pregnant ) she started telling me how she did it before ( I never knew this ) and how it's okay to have an abortion and it's the best option. A baby would ruin my whole life, but I didn't want to do that. So she started yelling and forced me to call the clinic, when calling I was crying to the receptionist she kept asking me are you sure this is your decision? The whole time my mother is standing there so I'm having to lie and say yes. Set an appointment, my mother took me the next day and she was all happy saying "where should we go and eat after this?" You'll be fine! I did it!"
When I went into the room, the Dr told me how far long I was and said I was over the weeks to be able to get an abortion but he knows someone who will do it for a thousand dollars, I remember walking real slow to my mom and little sister who was almost 2 at that time and telling her I wasn't able to because how far I was. When I told her that SHE SLAPPED ME and everyone just looked shocked. She started going off in the office, we got in the car and she drove me to the father's house and told him if you don't take her I will beat the Sh*t out of her. She said her BF wouldn't allow me to live there, pregnant....
My son is now almost 15 and I haven't seen or spoken to my mother in YEARS.
Sorry for this rant, her story reminded me so much of myself, there is so much more 😢
@@Solace45 thank you so much for your kind words. Seriously. It was definitely an experience but unfortunately that wasn't what traumatize me the most from her...
Wish I could meet this woman. She seems amazing and wise beyond her years
My Heart breaks for what you went through ❤
I'm so glad she got healing from this...I'm going to have to forgive her parents and especially her dad. Does he feel better knowing that his daughter went through depression, suicide, and turmoil because he was too immature to be a FATHER to her, and threw a fit instead?
:( I would run away. Hearing that baby heart beat is the most beautiful sound in the world.
You are a beautiful lady, Serena, with a real message to share. I’m so glad you got the help you were not even aware you needed. Yours is a story that so many others are living thru now.
My best friend died at 50 because of the broken heart she had from getting 2 abortions.. God Bless You.♥️
