Cynthia Hardeman wrote about her abortion and its aftermath:
“My ex-husband and I decided to abort our third child because of the instability of our marriage, our finances, and our desires… Instead of seeking counsel, we chose to abort and give up. Little did we know what we would deal with the rest of our lives.
During my abortion I actually saw an innocent life ripped apart and trashed like garbage. The ordeal was enough to put me in bed weeping for days. To deal with the pain, I turned to drugs and alcohol. My first marriage disintegrated quickly, and I married 2 more times. I tried everything to ease the pain of what I thought was insanity.…
I was literally on the edge and suicide seemed the only way out. Being a Christian, I knew I needed help. That is when I began to deal with the tragedy that haunted the inner depths of my very soul. Healing has not been an easy process.”
