Abortion Testimony - Trading Ashes for Beauty

[mylittlekittens]

She's still not brave enough to give motherhood another try.

[Alphonse0Theodore]

Thank you, Casey! It takes a LOT of courage to tell of the deepest hurt & regret of your life. Lord, have mercy! My prayers for you & for all who have suffered the most dire consequences of their decision to abort! I especially was touched by your statement that the abortion affects you for the rest of your life...just as parenting a child. Your tenderness & sweetness have touched my heart, as well. May God console you, Casey, as only He is able -- through the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

[mylittlekittens]

Why didn't she get knocked up again? Because she doesn't want to be pregnant. That is the reason she got an abortion, drama queen.

[OneIsrael77]

if u are pro-choice and your not christian then that is your choice, u cant however deny what these women go through everyday and honestly the only thing the pro-choice movement is doing is making sure that abortion remains a choice, but i don't see them giving these women psychological or emotional treatment for their crippling pain, let us be sensitive to other people's pain and abandon our on selfish agenda..

[ryddelwearsahat]

@OneIsrael77 I don't deny for an instant some women regret their abortions- but they are a minority, heard only b/c they are loud about it and b/c grasping organizations- namely of the religious brand- use them for their own purposes and recruitment- yes they help, but they also exploit. Not everyone regrets aborting- I certainly don't regret mine one bit. I don't, won't deny their pain, but likewise- people should realize that I, and many other women, DON'T regret it. All choices can backfire.

[mylittlekittens]

@OneIsrael77 Why do so many "Christian" women get abortions?

[OneIsrael77]

@mylittlekittens Many "christian" women play church and fall for "christian" men and have pre-marital sex, they end up pregnant and alone. In kindergarden children were taught that every action has a consequences, wether u consider it positive or negative is up to you, but you do pay consequences. Rape however is another issue, if a woman was raped she has the option of giving it up, there is no excuses for not giving a child away if unwanted. does dat answer ur irrelevant question? :)

[OneIsrael77]

@mylittlekittens before you go and use the old "well you are a guy so you wouldn't know how it feels, and is very easy for you to say", there was no pain for those women that had desired sex, if she got pregnant and the guy was an ass and abandoned her, all she has to do if she does not want the child is give birth and give it up for adoption, that is not going to kill anybody, in the case of rape, is the same thing, a woman is not guilty for rape, but she has options other dan abortion

[mylittlekittens]

@OneIsrael77 Oh. Then why doesn't this broad just try to get knocked up again. Replace the baby that she bumped off.

[OneIsrael77]

@mylittlekittens its not about that, the child that she lost cant be replaced, nobody is replaceable, neither you nor I nor anybody else, we are people not tools, she needs to forgive herself and move on, but she can speak her testimony, and her point is to avoid women from going through was she went through, is not about pushing an agenda, this is real and is happening everyday.

[mylittlekittens]

@OneIsrael77 The truth is that she was not ready to be a parent. It's quite a big role to play. She probably didn't want the guy who knocked her up to stay in her life either. Lot's of women have gotten on with their lives instead of wallowing in self pity.

[OneIsrael77]

@mylittlekittens honey, when i write to you, do you pay attention, im not denying that parenthood is a big role to pay. I am saying that if she was mature enough to say yes to sex, the she should be responsible and at least give birth to the child, and then give it up like other women have done, and show some humanity for these women, the fact that there is a risk of serious traumatic side effects, should be enough evidence for u to want these women to avoid getting abortions.

[mylittlekittens]

@OneIsrael77 I don't think she was mature. You give her too much credit. If she really wants to be a mama now, nothing is stopping her. Chasing a little one would certainly cure her melancholy mood, but she still doesn't look ready. Age does not automatically qualify her for motherhood.

[OneIsrael77]

@mylittlekittens she may have not been mature, but nothing was keeping her from keeping the child until birth, and trust me I know that age does not qualify u for a lot of things, but so far u keep avoiding what I've told u, there is no excuse to abort, all they have to do is wait and give birth, give it up to the government if they still feel not up for it.

[mylittlekittens]

@OneIsrael77 It is not an excuse, it is a reason.

[OneIsrael77]

@mylittlekittens its neither an excuse nor reason, neither an excuse nor reason justify abortion, there is only one reason for abortion, and that is if the child died in the womb, there is really no productivity in this conversation because you don't care about others just yourself, and that has been made clear by you in your own post, you really need to grow up and mature, the women in this vid, is way past your own maturity level. while you at it, get a heart transplant i think yours is dead.

[mylittlekittens]

@OneIsrael77 I'm laughing at the last comment. Does this broad have ANY experience at all at raising a kid? Who's the mature one?

[OneIsrael77]

nobody forced her to get an abortion that is not the point of the vid, the point of the vid is to show that her CHOICE lead her into a horrible pain that the majority of women go through plain and simple, the point is to save a life, i u dont want the baby then put him/her up for adoptions, is not about makin anyone feel guilty, its about the sparing those women from the undeniable pain and guilt that they feel after and abortion

[mylittlekittens]

Did somebody force her to get an abortion. Did she know that she had a CHOICE.

[patrickhenrysmom]

Whether one is pro-abortion or anti-abortion, no one can deny that "littlekittens" is not very smart. But, smart is not a pre requisite to entering the kingdom of heaven. You only need be born again.

[patrickhenrysmom]

Thank you for sharing you sad story. I can relate and understand your pain. It is something that NEVER goes away. But Jesus Christ is able to make all things new. You and your baby will meet in heaven. You will recognize the face you loved, but never saw.

[mylittlekittens]

Did somebody force her to get an abortion?

[monyzarate]

2:14min :( 

[bluepuppyboy]

Thanks for the video. I am so much like you. I know the unending pain--I will be giving my testimony on the steps of the Supreme Court 1/24/11.

I am praying for all the strength I can to do this, which won't be easy.

[44SCB]

Well u will see your baby 1 day. In Heaven.

[mylittlekittens]

Did anyone tell her that she had a choice?

[Damis10001]

I like the music--very appropriate, but I wish you could have made it a little more melodramatic. I also think you should stand in the town square to be beaten. The bible is a very comforting book--good thing every word of it God's word. None of it was ever changed throughout the centuries. The church is right to dominate women!

[leenie61]

I am revising my previous suggestion 2 weeks ago of trying again by having another baby.I think you should adopt a baby about the age of what your child would be now. That would be a baby whose mother gave birth but could not keep it.I would be a very healing experience for the both of you. However, don't be surprised if the child does not like you He/she might use bad words and hurt your feelings. It takes a lot of bravery to be a parent. Are you ready for the challenge Many kids need your help

[purebloodjiselle]

A lot of women DON'T regret their abortions. Just saying.

[Gilbertlouise12]

Casey, Thank you.

I sincerely believe that only those who have had an abortion will truly know how devastating abortion is. I would hazard a guess that the majority of people who want abortion allowed in our world are people who have never had an abortion themselves. Gilbertlouise.

[leenie61]

Cheer up. Why don't you just try again. The sooner the better. There are lots of guys out there who could help you. A brand new little baby, or even twin, will take your mind off of your problems.

[leenie61]

If you got all those A's and B's in school, why didn't you know what causes babies?

[mylittlekittens]

Don't feel so bad, you might not be such a wonderful mother. And sometimes the kid doesn't like YOU. And some kids are very depressed when they find out that they are adopted. So any decision that you make is not guarantee of being the RIGHT one.

[mylittlekittens]

It's not easy being a woman and even harder to be a human being. Stop blubbering and get a life little girl. I stubbed my big toe yesterday and it still hurts!!

[leenie61]

Who knocked up this perfect girl? Was it someone she met at Church? Can anyone identify the bad boy who did this to her? Can we interview him for PART 2 of this video? So she doesn't have to wear the scarlet letter alone. Maybe she should adopt an orphan.

[leenie61]

Did she get molested at Church? Who did this to her. Who knocked up this perfect girl?

[krokoski]

Wow! what a courageous woman!  Thank you casey for sharing your story!

[poetryrb]

@StaunchComic You're an ass. She didn't have to share this story with the world and could have kept it a secret, but she CHOSE to. Show a little compassion. No one deserves that kind of ridicule. I'm sure you've made some decisions you would NOT be brave enough to share on youtube...

[poetryrb]

@StaunchComic If she really was a "selfish whore" she would have kept this secret to herself and possibly would have made a decision like this again without remorse. Her simply sharing the story of this TRAUMATIC experience is not only healing for her, but could be saving the life of another unborn child. I'm not a Christian, but those who are should remember to let only God be the judge of those who chose to abort. If God can forgive all, why is it so hard for man?

[StaunchComic]

@poetryrb I agree with you!

[122651Lil]

Pay attention to this women, she knows what she talking about.She trying to prevent another train wreck from occuring, that being abortion.She shows much courage to be able to share this with you all,it wasn't easy for her to expose her self like that.She doesn't want you buying into the LIE.She's giving you TRUTH.Pay attention you all, lift that head out of the sand.

[farquelongtime]

Jesus christ Allah buddha!!! Dennis, you are a true victom of your own ego....time to move on darls !!! What has your day with the vaccum cleaner got anything to do with the bible.....a book so flawed it should be banned!!! Grow up and move on for fucks sake!!! Its an abortion!!!!!!

[HowardSternn]

Abortion saves lives

Howard Stern

[kendraking10]

God bless her! she was extremely brave to come out to talk about it and I know God has forgiven her and will bless her

[aplisi]

Oh you're going to burn in hell you baby killer!!!!

[casket095]

@aplisi NO SHE'S NOT!!

IF U KNEW THE BIBLE THEN YOU'D KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE SAVED BY GRACE! NOT BY THEIR GOOD WORKS!

[Sweet92Sue]

There is full forgiveness in Christ Jesus. God bless you for sharing your testimony, and may He continue to pour out His grace and power in your life.

[CathyFromPensacola]

Here's my story...

watch?v=t_pUCakN7WQ

[nobleheight]

If you really wanted a baby, all you have to do is get knocked up again.

[nobleheight]

19 is plenty old to have a child. Any age after 18 is fair game.

[stingingnettles]

I'm glad I had an abortion.

[BornOKtheFirstTime]

the Third Eagle is right! Stop using condoms right away so you don't miss the rapture!!!!!!!!!! praise the lord!!!!!!!

[mirrormirrorify]

LOL! Funny.

[casket095]

@BornOKtheFirstTime God isn't gunna keep u from heaven for using condoms!!

u should use some kind of birth control.

[MissDtheoneandonly]

@BornOKtheFirstTime WHAT??? That's not even Biblical. Are you Catholic? There is NOTHING WRONG with using condoms, NOTHING. What is WRONG is terminating a zygote, fetus, etc. Which is the result of the joining of a sperm and Egg!!! Condoms prevent disease, for crying out loud!!!

[fruitofspirit]

Just want to hug her.

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, (s)he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."

-2nd Corinthians 5:17

This child did not pass in vain by God's grace in her confession & testimony. He makes all things new.

[bananabebop]

Amen!

[delcamp11]

Such a powerful testimony! God will use this video to save lives of many women and children! God bless you!

[SexySadie98506]

I had my baby even though I am not very stable mentally and the father was abusive, and now my son is 30, he lives at home with me in a small trailer (single wide) and he can't get a job. He has a criminal record -- he molested three children, and was raped himself when he was 6 and I was in the hopsital. I should not have had a baby. I wasn't ready, and the father was a bad guy. Plus, my son is prolife himself now, and has three children he can't support because he can't/won't get a job.

[adubb11]

my bio-father wanted me aborted. i would never been able to meet so many worth-while people. i would never be able to know my friends, my parents, i could never have learned about god. my child was lost through miscarriage. i lost my child's smile, i lost its life, its wonder, the ability to learn with my child. to grow and understand myself and my child. father- son/daughter moments of drama. there are those who shouldn't be around a child in development, but every one should have one& i lost .

[Paulisfalseprophet]

To have a child is to learn true love, and to know a little what it feels like to be God.

[Paulisfalseprophet]

Exodus 34:7 "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation."

[SuperHappyPuppy]

There are so many videos on youtube with women saying they regret their abortions, but the REAL women I know who have had abortions are fine with it, not traumatized, not weeping, not guilty. One told me she kicked herself for not being smarter about birth control, but she's still glad she did it.

[DrDoubleZero]

umm not to sound like a dick, buut why did you wait so long even have the abortion. im not saying it was bad choice, its just if you do have an abortion its best to be done like really early. and i dont want to hear the bullshit that it was a tough decision and you had to think long and hard about it..

[castingtherunes]

My gf aborted her child, and I ate it.

[jasonla85]

The feminist groups referred to the killing of Lacy Peterson's unborn child as "the 2nd murder". Since it is not possible to murder a non human being, they acknowledged at that time that killing an unborn child is the taking of human life. Yet they continue to call it something else when it is done in a hospital. When it comes to innocent human life, there remains no room for double standards.

[missmellyh]

Lacy Peterson was 9 months preggers, and even under Roe v. Wade that point is considered viability.

It's the woman's choice and no one else's. Rights for women is what sets us apart from Iran and Saudi Arabia.

[jasonla85]

It still remains a double standard to call the taking of unborn life murder when it is done on the street and call it something else when done in a hospital, especially when the same feminist groups will fight to make partial birth abortion legal at the end of the 9 month term. In China, women are forced to have abortions and the choice is taken away from the woman. But the feminists seem to have no problem with that either,

[missmellyh]

What feminist groups have said forced abortion is a-ok? None. That is just you, talking out your butt.

[jasonla85]

I am not misquoting them, rather stating that I don't hear them getting up in arms about it. Why is it not a double standard to support partial birth abortion at the end of the 9 months yet call the taking of unborn life murder when it is done on the street?

[missmellyh]

Because when it is done in the street, it is not the mother's decision. It's her choice. Not yours or anyone elses.

[jasonla85]

Hitler had nothing except his power of choice to stand on when he classified the Jews as non-human, took away their rights and shed innocent blood. In his case, the double standard was that he himself was part Jewish. No choice factor or pre-exising law could negate that. In the same manner, to give an unborn child human status in one scenario and not the other still remains a double standard.

[missmellyh]

Joseph Stalin outlawed abortion in the Soviet Union. He gave the unborn "human status" while giving women the status of breeding stock.

[jasonla85]

You are very right. But that is just one more example of one class of humans having rights while anothers taken away. We look at these very dark times in history such as the Jewish Holocaust, or slavery where once again a class of people were first dehumanized, then stripped of thier rights, yet we fail to learn from them.

[missmellyh]

And that has nothing to do with abortion. Sorry, but people who actually breath oxygen take precedent over those that need a host body to live.

[jasonla85]

When you take into account that science has taught for centuries that the first stage of life for any species is the fertilized egg, and even the feminists own words where they give human status to unborn children murdered on the street, Abortion is indeed history repeating itself. Social Darwinism was the bases in which Hitler and other dictators determined that one human life was more entitled than another, but never without double standards.

[SexySadie98506]

You sure failed to learn from it -- you're chomping on the bit to strip WOMEN of their rights!

[SexySadie98506]

Jason, you're groping to compare women who believe abortion should be legal to Hitler, and it's just bizarre, really, not in the least convincing. Can't you come up with a better argument than that?

[jasonla85]

Even the feminists referred to the taking of unborn life as murder in the case of Scott Peterson and others whan they said it was a human life that was taken. To refer to the same entity as a human in one scenario and not the other is a contradiction. When it comes to innocent human life. There is no room for double standards. Today, we have a very strange way to define women's rights. I fail to see the difference between murdering babies in the Jewish holocaust as opposed to what they do today.

[SexySadie98506]

There's a big difference -- the Nazi's murdered living, breathing babies. Abortion terminates an unborn, nonbreathing embryo or fetus which has not yet fully developed consciousness or even a functioning nervous system. Babies suffer -- embryos do not.

[jasonla85]

Any health book on the growth and devevelopment of an unborn baby would confirm that is not true. They have a heart beat, a brain and a fully functional nervous and respiratory system at 8 weeks; recieving oxygen from it's mother. If you ever watched a 2nd or especially a third tri-mester abortion caught on tape, you would see that the suffering is very intense and prolonged. Even the feminist groups refered to the killing of Lacy Peterson's unborn child as "the 2nd murder."

[SexySadie98506]

Fully functional respiratory system at 8 weeks? You better recheck your information. One area where we do agree, however, is that late term abortions are best avoided.

[MsMirrorMirror]

My goodness! That's ridiculous! Preemies don't even have fully functioning respiratory systems! What an idiot!

[MyrtleMessmer]

"Feminist groups"? Sure about that?

[jasonla85]

Yes. They were saying that Scott Peterson should be tried for a second murder; the murder of Lacy's unborn child.

[jasonla85]

Marva Start had expressed concern that charging Scott Peterson with a 2nd murder could fuel the anti-abortion movement, but she was met with fierce criticism by many of her fellow collegues who were in favor of charging Scott Peterson with the 2nd murder.

[MyrtleMessmer]

And who were these feminist groups?

[ScarlettKnights]

Love & God's healing to you.

I hope that stories like yours will convince politicians that we need to spend our tax money on supports for girls to keep their babies instead of "state" sponsored abortions and birth control for children. God Bless

[GeraSchmidt]

Yes, sweetie dear. Your message is a beauty from the ashes. I had trouble holding back tears with you.

Words can not express the emotions your testimony stirs.

Be with peace and pride of your strength of heart and humanitarian stand.

I forgive you. You are loved.

[lexpose]

Why use scares tactics to keep women in place? If you think its a sin then just say so, dont just get someone to overdramatize shit.

[quicksiliva]

Infanticide:

1 Samuel 15:3 God commands the death of helpless "suckling" infants. This literally means that the children god killed were still nursing.

Psalms 135:8 & 136:10 Here god is praised for slaughtering little babies.

Psalms 137:9 Here god commands that infants should be dashed upon the rocks.

[sueezee]

Women with high levels of mood disturbance PRIOR to abortion are at highest risk of post-abortal mood disorder. The relationships of optimism, self-esteem, perceptions of control, depression, & self-efficacy in predicting depression among women undergoing an abortion. Self-efficacy was found to be a strong predictor of adjustment, both immediately after the abortion & years later. Optimism, perceptions of personal control, and high self-esteem were all related to better postabortion adjustmen

[sueezee]

Abortion does NOT cause negative emotional reactions. Depression is SELF induced! Recurrent and intrusive thoughts are a CHOICE for women! if they are not strong, self assured, intelligent, then they shouldn't abort. Abortion is not a game to be taken lightly. Gripe to the weak women, dont gripe about abortion that makes the sun shine for most women

[cmammlj]

Thanks for posting .

This woman has courage to share her testimony ... Jesus forgave her & when she goes home to heaven she'll see her child.

Even though an unborn is aborted by its mother, the baby is living w/Jesus .... Dead on earth , Alive in heaven.

[CIDaily]

I support life rights for all humans and that includes the unborn.

[cplkv20208]

every young girl should see this...God Bless

[weneedmccain]

Well done! One of the greatest unreported affects of abortion.

[PhilippeDeChampaigne]

Short term gain for long term pain.

[PhilippeDeChampaigne]

When you talk to pro-deathers they deny the effects on the mind and body. A friend of mine had an abortion a long time ago, and I cannot forget, if I'm with him and I hear that word, it's the first thing that comes to mind. He probably thinks about it every day. I'm quite sure it remains very strongly in your memory for life, unless of course you are heartless.

[1Hope4All]

*tears* I'm glad you're confessing right now. Jesus is Merciful! He's sad you took a life but He loves you & forgives you because you repent.

When a woman has a baby she feels pain before the baby is born. But the new life of her baby makes her forget her pain. When a woman has an abortion she feels pain but there's no new life & because of that they never forget the pain, both the physical pain and the pain of taking the life of her baby.

Peace & Love in Christ.

Sandy

'I will never have my baby.'

No one, should ever have to say that. I would rather die.

[ilprediletto]

Abortion is the only surgery killing two people at a time. While baby's suffering lasts little time, woman's lasts a lifetime.

Women have to know! Abortion doesn't "fix" a problem, yet it adds a new, terrible, lasting one.

[missXbuchanan]

@ilprediletto Abortion did fix my problem, and my mother's, as well. She had an abortion before she had me. I had an amazing life. I will continue to grow up and when I am ready, IF I ever want one, I will give my children an amazing life because I didn't have to be a "struggling young woman".

[ilprediletto]

@missXbuchanan

I'm glad for your amazing life. But your aborted sister/brother and your child weren't as lucky, and they can't tell us now what's their thought about.

As someone said: «I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born.»

[missXbuchanan]

@ilprediletto First off, DO NOT tell me about my "dead" brother or sister, because I DID have a brother who was murdered at age 17 by Neo-Nazi skinheads because of his race. THAT was real murder. What separates killing from murder, is the people affected by the loss. For example, Dr. George Tiller, the abortionist that was murdered, was not only killed, but murdered because of the loss and affect it had on the family. Abortion is killing, but not cold blooded murder. See it for what it is.

[ilprediletto]

@missXbuchanan

"Abortion is killing"

I utterly agree

[elegantlywasted100]

@ilprediletto me 2!

[missXbuchanan]

@ilprediletto And I would have rather been aborted than suffer through some of life's experiences if I had been poor or with a family that didn't care for me. We disagree, and I respect your opinion. But we both just have opinions, and nobody is ever officially "right".

[leenie61]

@ilprediletto A surgical procedure is usually done as a remedy. Most patients leave the recovery room through the back door, regardless of what surgical procedure is done to them. Most people do not like having surgery, and hope that they will not need it again.

[ilprediletto]

@leenie61

yes, a surgical procedure is usually done as a remedy, to cure an illness

but a child is no illness, a child is a human being

[leenie61]

@ilprediletto First you have to be sick and nauseous for 9 months, and then you have to pass a basketball through the birth canal. No, it's worse than being sick.

[Sueezee1]

@ilprediletto says a child is no illness

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ isnt an illness to whom? YOU? Sprry, youre no the judge of what a child becomes to its parent, and please dont be a child abuser...open a book and learn that many women have NO emotional connection to their babies, and they ARE considered an illness.

[LovedbcHim]

@Sueezee1 Oh, wow Suezee. So I guess that tells us what you think of your daughter. That's sad. My children, including my unborn child, whom I am very connected too and love dearly, are certainly not an illness to me. I'm willing to risk the back aches, nausea, everything because I love this baby and I love his big sister. They make my life more joyful then anyone could ever imagine. I'm probably a much healthier person now since I've had children than I was before.

[Sueezee1]

@ilprediletto says: Women have to know! Abortion doesn't "fix" a problem, yet it adds a new, terrible, lasting one.

~~~~~~~~~~~ Thats more pro birth bull shit! Abortion makes the sun shine again for 97% (thats almost all) of women who have one. If it wasnt a "good thing" there would be 40 MILLION each year. Now, prlifer, try telling the truth...if you have any truths.

[ekajeht]

@Sueezee1 says="abortion makes the sun shine"

--------------

Errr?

Ask your daughter how bright her life is after she murdered her unborn daughter.

BTW-I noticed you took your daughter off your home page,,,?

Could it be she has taken her own life because she couldn't handle the guilt of murdering her own baby?

[LovedbcHim]

@ekajeht Um I don't think that was the best reply. Abortion is wrong and it is what you say it is, however I'm not sure how comforting it is to women who really regret their abortions to be reminded of their choice. I'm pro-life, but I'm just telling you because sometimes the words we say is the reason why some people are pro-choice. No matter how mean a person might get you still have to be careful as a pro-lifer and I'm guessing a Christian, with the words you say and how you say them.

[dovecry2]

I'll tell you why the medical community keeps ignoring the evidence and the women's stories - MONEY - ITS A MULTIBILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY AND IT IS BASED UPON THE FACT THAT THE UNBORN DO NOT HAVE RIGHTS AS PERSONS JUST LIKE SLAVERY - THE CIVIL WAR WAS ABOUT SLAVERY/MONEY

[Merlin2Stage2Speed]

Many thanks for posting this very moving video.

Abortion is not only fatal to the unborn child, but is also harmful in many more ways than one to the mother.

[prolifeinternational]

A moving story that makes me wonder why so many pro abortion supporters and medical associations continue to DISHONESTLY insist that abortion does not harm women?
