Calling All Aborted Women

In the wake of abortion,
FAWNN seeks to open the door
for aborted women
to find heart-felt peace
after the death of their child.

Heart-felt peace is possible!

Travel down the road with me
and discover the similarities
between the fawn
and those of us
who have experienced abortion.

Women and teens conceal
their abortion experiences
from others, generally
because of feelings of shame,
or guilt, or denial.
Meet Buttercup from England, an injured Roe deer fawn.

In the wild, she met her enemy.

Lamed by her attacker and abandoned by her mother, Buttercup was found close to death. Her recovery was not nearly as long as that of aborted women.

We, the walking wounded,
have met our enemy
through our abortion
experience. We are
camouflaged in society
by our silence.

Like Buttercup,
we blend in.


Confronted with danger, the fawn lies motionless.

The danger we feel is
the fear of being detected.

Day-after-day,
year-after-year,
we go through life
with our past veiled.

Many times we hide our
past even from ourselves.
Nothing in our appearance
helps others understand
that there is shame,
and guilt,
and pain
for the loss of our children.

Before our abortions we...
...frequently felt
helpless
     hopeless
          fearful
...many of us were
 coerced / intimidated
  "You can't have this baby."
...some of us were
 threatened
...and people said,
 "it will be over soon", or
"you will feel better,"
...we were
encouraged to
believe...

"it's the best choice."

"you did the right thing."

"it's not a baby."

It's legal

Just as the fawn stands shortly after birth, we, young and old, stood and walked within minutes of our life-changing experience.

With the exception of those women severely injured or killed by abortion, we got up and returned to the lives we left before we entered the abortion facilities.

After our abortions we experience...
 feelings of regret…. though Satan calls it relief,

feelings of sorrow… though Satan calls it self-pity,

feelings of denial… and Satan rejoices.
For many of us...
 relationships with "partners" most frequently ended.
We begin to...
 loose trust, and Satan calls it independence,

the "strength of the female gender"
We are ...
 never the same and Satan tells us,

"Your life definitely is better."
But we still ask...
 "What have I done?"
Some of us have...
 suicidal thoughts,
others become...
rebellious
   withdrawn
      over achievers
         distrusting men.
Though frequently some of us...
seek sex
      with him,
            and him
                  and him,
Some of us use...
 drugs
      or alcohol
            to cover the sin.
Unlike the fawn, though...
 we all are created to have
      an intimate relationship
                    with God.


Because God is Holy
and cannot be
in the presence of sin,
our relationship with Him
is broken.

 

 

For all have sinned and fallen
short of the Glory of God.

Those of us who have experienced abortions must outgrow our hiding place of silence.

Healing takes place in stages, in layers.

If this is your first layer
or second layer of healing,
or even your third,
I encourage you to open
your heart to the God of Love.

For those who accept His love…


The eternal God is thy refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting arms;
and He shall thrust out the enemy
from before thee;
and shall say,
"Destroy them."

                                     The Prophet Moses

We all know...

Our baby's heart has stopped!

                         Each and every baby!

Trust in the Lord
with all thine heart
and lean not
on thine own understanding.
In all thy ways
acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.

King Solomon in the
The Book of Proverbs

It's okay!                                            
Go ahead and ask…

"Where is my baby now?"
