Laura Limmex, executive director of Restored by Grace, said at 16 years old, she had an abortion. Her parents had no knowledge of the abortion.

“I was traumatized not only by the procedure, but by the sight of what was left of my child,” she said. “My story is one of many.

“It’s heartbreaking to sit with a woman who is carrying the pain of aborting the only child or children she will ever conceive as a result of the poor quality of care she received during and after her abortion.

“Men and women have spent years trying their hardest to forget their abortions ever happened.”

Trying to forget that, she said, is like trying to keep a beach ball underwater.

“Not only did I lose my first child to abortion, and grandchildren, as this child would be 35 years old today,” Limmex said. “My family tree is forever changed.”
