Three-Year-Old Sister of Aborted Baby: Mom Why Didn’t You Kill Me Too?

When I was 3 years old I saw my mom on TV. She was speaking to a man about how she killed her baby and regretted it. As she told her story and how she became a pro-life speaker, I watched and listened. My grandma didn't think I was old enough to understand.

When my mom picked me up that night I asked her why she killed my brother or sister and why she didn't kill me. My mom said she was in shock that her 3-year-old would ask these questions. She answered them the best she could for me, and as I got older I learned more.

Now my mom and I are pro-life speakers. She has been one for almost 15 years, and I just started last year. My mom was 18 when she had the abortion, and I'm now 17.

"I thank God I'm alive."

I thank God I'm alive. I'm still sad to know I have an older brother or sister who was denied the chance to LIVE - something we all take for granted. I hope someday we will meet. That's why I do what I do.

Blogger's note:

A woman once confided to me that she had two abortions when she was in her twenties. Many years had passed when she surrendered her life to Christ. She repented of her sin and decided to share the truth of having two abortions with her teenage daughter. After her mother told her of aborting two of her siblings, the daughter became angry and resentful. With much prayer, Christ's healing and forgiving love their relationship was eventually healed and restored.

Abortion affects not only siblings, but also grandparents and extended family.  The pain, heartache, depression, spiritual and emotional toll of taking the life of just one unborn baby is beyond our understanding. 

Through Christ-centered ministries like Rachael's Vineyard, Help After Abortion, Silent No More and other post-abortive organizations, there is hope. As a result of these ministries, mothers, fathers and families have found emotional and spiritual healing, forgiveness and restoration through Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

"But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed."  Isaiah 53:5

Woman’s Son Saddened by Her Abortion

One woman recalls how she told her kids about her abortion:

“My only regret about having this abortion is that many years later, within the last three or maybe five years, the boys were out here, the oldest and youngest boy, for Christmas or something, and somehow the subject of abortion came up. 

I think [my partner] said that she’d had an abortion, and the kids were interested, and I said, 

‘Well, you know, I had one too.’ As soon as it was out of my mouth, I knew that they didn’t know. 

There was a look of surprise, particularly on my youngest son’s face—he was probably twenty-three or so at the time. It was either later that evening or the next day when we were out hiking, he said,

‘I feel very sad that I could have had a little brother. That there could have been four of us, not just three.’ He said, ‘[It] just makes me very sad.’ 

You know, all these years had gone by. I’d never told them, and it just came out in a conversation about pro-choice. That’s my only regret, that I told my sons that I’d had an abortion. I had no idea that it would affect them so personally. That they, particularly [the youngest], would feel it as such a personal loss.”

Blogger's comment:  

Planned Parenthood callously ignores the impact of abortion on other victims besides their first victim, the unborn baby.  Mothers, fathers, siblings, and grandparents are wounded by that missing precious baby meant to be part of their family.
