Abortion is often framed as a personal choice or healthcare, yet for countless women and men, it becomes a silent burden they carry for years, even decades. The weight of regret, shame, and fear can feel unbearable, keeping them trapped in isolation. But healing is found when we step into the light, break the silence, and allow God’s grace to redeem our stories.
Why So Many Stay Silent
Silence is often a survival mechanism. For many, abortion is a deeply personal wound wrapped in layers of secrecy. But why do so many women and men feel unable to talk about their experience?
Fear of Judgment – The stigma surrounding abortion—both inside and outside the church—makes many afraid to share their past. The fear of rejection keeps them silent.
Shame and Regret – The enemy uses shame as a tool to keep people bound. Many believe they are beyond forgiveness, unworthy of God’s love.
Denial and Suppression – Some attempt to move on without addressing their pain, hoping time will erase the emotions. But unresolved grief doesn’t disappear—it often manifests in depression, anxiety, addiction, or strained relationships.
Lack of Safe Spaces – Many don’t know where to turn. Even in church settings, abortion is often an unspoken topic, leaving those struggling without guidance.
Yet silence does not bring healing. In fact, it prolongs the pain. But when we share our stories, we open the door for healing—not just for ourselves, but for others who need hope.
The Power of Breaking the Silence
At She Found His Grace, we have seen lives transformed when women and men step out of the shadows and share their abortion stories. There is power in bringing our wounds to Jesus and allowing Him to redeem what was lost.
Serena’s Story: Finding Grace in the Darkest Place
"For years, I buried my pain. I believed that my abortion was too big for God to forgive. The shame was suffocating, and I did everything I could to pretend it never happened. But the more I suppressed it, the more it surfaced in my relationships, my emotions, and my view of myself. It wasn’t until I entered an abortion recovery class that I found true healing. For the first time, I spoke the words I had kept hidden: ‘I regret my abortion.’ And in that moment, God met me with His grace. I wasn’t condemned, I was loved. Now, I help other women find that same freedom.”
