You would never know it by looking at me today, but at the time that I survived that failed abortion, I was barely clinging to life. I suffered from severe respiratory problems, jaundice, and seizures. As the result of hemorrhaging, (a consequence of what the toxic salt solution was doing to me), I required multiple blood transfusions. I was too weak to suck from a bottle, and so I was fed intravenously through my head. The prognosis for my life was guarded at best. The doctors didn’t believe that I would live for very long, and if I did live, I would suffer from any one or a number of disabilities. But I was alive! And God had other plans…
[O]ur daughter, Olivia, and our rapidly developing child tucked safely away in my womb are living testament to the fact that abortion is about so much more than just a woman and a child. It’s about everyone. We are all impacted by abortion—those already born, and those yet to be conceived. Melissa Ohden
