Values Voter News

Kelly Clinger was a former back up singer to Britney Spears and apparently left cause she was raped which she tells of in passing as she explains her struggles over the two abortions she had.

Kelly has a blog and I would suggest reviewing a recent post titled #ihadanabortion and i hate myself but she gets into a little more detail in a blog titled Goodness and Mercy: my truth about abortion from February.

LifeSiteNews.com just did this story on her where VVN found the image and the links above to.

I wanted to focus on a portion of her blog from February:

"So, I quieted the voice in my head that told me not to do it, and I had an abortion.  I paid extra so that they would put an IV in and I would be asleep during the procedure.  I honestly didn’t think much about it until a few months later when I got pregnant again.  It’s so hard for me to type this and not feel self-hatred arise.  I went back to the clinic, and this time they gave me a “discount” because I had been there before.  They put the IV in, but this time I could still hear.  The sounds and the smells still haunt me to this day.  I cried a lot after that.

A few weeks later, I started having terrible cramping and bleeding out of nowhere.  I went to my doctor and after several tests and procedures they realized that the abortion did not get all of the baby.  What ensued after that was horrible…and the lies and deceit that accompanied it were just as disgusting.

A few months ago, 10 years after the abortions, I decided it was time to face the murderer in the mirror.  That might sound harsh, but in that 10 years I developed a relationship with Jesus, and in His mercy and kindness He began to show me things in my life that I hadn’t dealt with.  I would stumble upon scripture about how God made me and knew me before I was even IN the womb, so surely He knew the children in MY womb and had a purpose for them.  I joined a bible study called “Surrendering the Secret” and started on what would be the most difficult journey in my life so far.  I started out determined not to cry because of the walls I had built.  But slowly those walls came down and I walked through healing.  It was not easy but it was necessary."
She than goes on to encourage her readers that may be going through the same thing.

"This is not a Republican/Democrat or conservative/liberal issue.  This is an issue of life.  I am not here to convince anyone of my “views”.  I want you to know what happened to me because I know I’m not alone.  Abortion has hurt millions of women.  If 5 women read this blog, then statistics say that at least one of you has had an abortion.  The guilt and shame that accompanies it is overwhelming and haunting.  Healing would not have been mine without the love and forgiveness of my Father….and it’s there for you too.  It is my prayer that I can take the hands of millions of women and gently lead them to freedom.  Won’t you take my hand?"
