I am writing this on behalf of all the victims of abortion: the unborn child and the second victim, the mother. To the priests and ministers who preach about how wrong abortion is, but only mention about killing babies, and don’t mention about the harm to the souls of the mothers and fathers of these babies.

To all the protesters that hand out flyers. Maybe they should be more sensitive to their needs.

To the clinics and doctors who failed to tell them that this wasn’t a quick fix when they failed to tell them they would cry forever. That this is a pain they will never forget.

To all the advertisers: If you are going to advertise abortion then advertise the after effects. Advertise where a person can seek help after they made the wrong choice.

If you can make it so easy for them to make the wrong choice then provide for them the help they need, just as easily.

To the government: We need to worry about morals. Legal abortion isn’t the answer.

To anyone who was involved with a woman having an abortion. Why didn’t you try to change her mind?

To the woman who is suffering: God still loves you. You are forgiven. You just have to ask for it and accept it.

To everyone who looks down on him or her: Remember, Jesus said, “He who is without sin, shall throw the first stone”

That they are human and they still need love. That they make mistakes, also. They do not want to be looked down on as a lower form of life.

They too are God’s children.

Please be kind and compassionate to them when you see them.
