After my abortions, I worked in an abortion clinic for almost three years, which took me to a new level of devaluing and dehumanizing the unborn lives I was working to snuff out. Like nearly everyone who starts working in abortion clinics, I wanted to help women. And I thought I was because what was more important than their bodily autonomy? What could possibly trump their own sense of self and the dreams they had for their future? I thought I was giving them a way out of their situation. 

I fell so hard for the lies that the abortion industry tells – the same lies that Kamala Harris repeated over and over at the debate and that she yells at rallies. I learned, through very difficult life experiences, that abortion is the opposite of empowerment. It takes away something so precious and unrepeatable and valuable that you can never get back. ...

The outright mockery and arrogance of Kamala Harris to dismiss so handily the lives of innocent babies have been horrific to see, watch, and read. Not only does she have her facts completely wrong, but she assumes abortion is the best decision for women, no matter the cost to the mother’s own health – mental, physical, and spiritual – and the life of the unborn baby.
