my mother forced an abortion on me at 3.5 months pregnant when illegal, will God forgive me?

How old were you at the time?

15

As you of all people should know there is NO interventionist god so no worries except for your memories and the effect they have on your psyche.

I had an abortion at 19 ...6 weeks. It was forced by my parents as well. Now I am blessed with 3 daughters. I do believe God will forgive if you truly repent. I have and there's not one day I don't feel terrible but I was very young and naive. Having 3 beautiful healthy babies seems like God's way of forgiving me.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ?

Have you Repented?

Know that in Heaven you will see your child so give him/her a name!

Pray and know that God loves you and we are bound to make mistakes in this life we live.

Know that God is very Real and Pray to him for he will answer you!!

May you find peace in him and through his son Jesus Christ!

Thank-you, I did have three more too, but I ythink I hold on to them too tight. God bless you.

Thank-you, that means a lot. I have repented. just my mother calling and asking me to forgive her, brought it all back up. Im glad she did it for her own sake.

Forgive yourself first then ask God to forgive you.

You're OK, OP.

The important thing is you realize what you (and your mother) did.

It's the people who don't give a shit that will burn forever.

Find an old Roman Catholic priest and ask to give your confession.

There's no sin if someone forces you to do something.

She had to marry at 16 and didnt want the same thing for me....but the things she did to try to bring it on caused a lot os pysch damage. I forgave her years ago. But never have forgiven myself for just not leaving. The father was poor and wanted me to live in a shack in mountains, I was afraid and was so adhambed that it happened. but is this murder? can God forgive murder?

I recommend reading "Heaven Is For Real"

Your child is with the LORD.

You should seek HIS forgiveness in this matter by confessing Jesus as Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead.

Romans 10:9  because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
10  for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

Yes.

God bless you. I have, and I will again. Thank-you.

You need to ask God to forgive you in Jesus' Name. You can also ask Lord Jesus to come into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins and become The Lord of Your Life.

Yes, God can forgive you and you must understand that He has raised that child in His House. Father has named your baby and if you ask Him, He might tell you his/her name and He might even allow you to have a vision of the child. He let me see the little girl I lost from taking the birth control pill. He named her Danielle and she is 21 years old now. She stands up straight and tall looking forward in confidence with long brownish blond hair and looks like me when I was her age. She's very beautiful. God does a wonderful job raising all the children that we kill in sin.

You need to talk to Lord Jesus about it. He's wonderful and Father is so kind and Lord Holy Spirit is waiting for you to speak to Him-He's very gentle too and He speaks to Father and Lord Jesus for us from our hearts.

If you need anything, PM me. I will pray for you. We don't have to live in shame anymore. We all make mistakes and you and your mother can be forgiven for this one and it is going to be alright. God can make it okay. Ask Him.

Of course God forgives you.

You must realize that the baby is safe and that some believe that such a child's spirit would go and enter another person and be born or go back to heaven and be safe. I do not know what your beliefs are, but please know that the child is safe now and God knows your heart.

God forgives when we ask for forgiveness. And I am sure you have done that over and over.

Your words and story is such a comfort to me. God bless you! I will do as you suggested!

I'd be more upset that my parents forced their bullshit beliefs onto me but whatever

I am overwhelmed with all the responces! GLP really helped me today! I am sure I will read this thread many times and I will do my best to heed all of your advice. Thank you all.

God bless you as you grieve the loss of your child .
So many women have stuffed those feelings deep down an abyss inside and they fester in different forms .
Of course God forgives you . Talk to Him .
Forgiving your mother , the father , the doctor and anyone else that may have been involved is a key to your healing .
One more possible step helps some . Talk to your child and tell him/her how you feel about what happened and some have even named the child (a unisex name?) In anticipation of the afterlife .

Your right, I hadnt thought about my dad and the doctor's. My father never knew all the facts and he is with God now (I pray). thank-you.

Sorry you had to go through that OP
I can't answer your question but I can tell you this is not the place to get your answer. I would consult your church /pastor for spiritual guidance, not the assholes & know-it-alls on this site

I'm a little curious, as I understand you're a religious person.
How come you had sex at age 14?

After incest with my grandfather at ten yrs old, I had very little respect for myself. When I broke up with my first boyfriend, I fell into a depression and thought sex was all I wa good for. One time with wrong boy and I was pregnant. I have long forgiven myself for that and I KNOW God has too. I forgave my grandfather on his death bed.

You are a special person that you were able to forgive such a thing.

No worries OP - I'm sure you were forgiven a very long time ago.

:sendingluvvv:

Enjoy your life.

If you sincerely ask Gof for forgiveness...you WILL be forgiven!
