Blessed are the Abortion Seekers
Post Author: Victoria Wick
Blessed are those who seek abortions to save their lives
From ectopic pregnancies, septic uteruses, and miscarriages.
Blessed are those who seek abortions to save their lives
From domestic violence, suicide, and poverty.
Blessed are those who seek abortions for any reason at all.
Blessed are you who will be forced to cross state lines,
Who will empty your savings to cover medical fees,
Who will endure mandatory waiting periods,
Who will walk alone through angry crowds
Protesting your right to basic healthcare
That should have been free and accessible to all.
Blessed are the lonely, the weary, the scared.
Blessed are those who bravely share their stories,
As well as those who choose to never speak of it again.
Blessed are you,
Beloved by God.
And blessed be the life you get to have
Because you had an abortion.
