Abortion is a Mental Health Issue Wrapped in a Political Blanket. Here's How Prolife Conservative Leadership Can Improve Its Messaging.
I have a saying when it comes to the prolife message: If you can save the heart and mind of the pregnant mother, then you will save the unborn baby.
For more than a decade, the prolife vs pro-choice conversation has been a staple within my leadership platform. The matter is close to my heart, and it served as motivation to begin a work of ministry that helped young pregnant women choose life for themselves and their babies, even after experiencing hardships.
My pathway into this sphere was marked by my own personal experience. At age 25, my ex-husband and I got pregnant for the first time. But because we weren’t legally married and I had been dealing with extreme trauma in my home and workplace, I did not have the mental fortitude to bring a baby into this world. And so I chose to abort the pregnancy at just 2 weeks gestation.
Going through the medical abortion process was a different type of trauma. The procedure was sold to me as a simple one, and for the most part, I expected to experience only some pain and discomfort, something akin to when I’m on my period and feeling cramps.
But it wasn’t simple. It was sickening. And the entire, bloody, death-like process is one of the reasons I’ve taken a strong stance against the Death Marketing campaign pro-abortionists sell to women who think medical abortion is as easy as handling birth control effects.
After what felt like a near-death experience, I realized nothing in the world was worth that type of pain and trauma, especially when there was no life to celebrate in the aftermath. In other words, I determined that it was far more advantageous to go through pain like that and come out with a healthy, beautiful baby than to experience such hell and have nothing but death to show for it.
Two years after that experience, my ex-husband and I got pregnant again. But this time, I was determined to keep this child. My beautiful baby girl, Aaliyah Amore, has been my greatest joy ever since.
The options to give birth or to have an abortion have, for several decades, been framed within the confines of politics. In other cases, many people have attempted to discuss the matter within the walls of religiosity.
But I propose we look at abortion from a different perspective, one that considers the mental, spiritual, and emotional health of the pregnant woman.
Every action we take is the result of the thoughts we think. If a pregnant woman’s mind is consumed with God-like thoughts, she will embrace God-like wonders in her life as a mother and caregiver. To the contrary, if a pregnant woman’s mind is shrouded with negative, destructive thoughts, it’s inevitable that she will only produce death-like results during her pregnancy.
Simply put: Women who choose abortions, regardless of their external circumstances, do so because of how they think in the moment. Stress, distress, trauma, abuse, depression, and the like are all contributing factors to her choices. But for pregnant women who feel resilient, hopeful, encouraged, and confident, they will choose life for their unborn baby and will find a way to produce success, no matter their current circumstances.
I know both mindsets well.
When I became pregnant with Aaliyah, my external circumstances were no better than when I was pregnant the first time. I was still in a tumultuous relationship. My income was depleted. I had no business or ministry at the time and found myself using government assistance to survive. Add to it, I had to deal with a court case that left me financially broken.
But it was something in my mind that told me I would come out of this dire situation and would once again experience success if I made a better choice. Something in my heart knew God would not leave me to “struggle in my own blood” (Ezekiel 16:6), but He would perform His promises to me if I held fast to His Word.
Another way stated, I believed God would lift me up once again, and it was that same belief that inspired me to name my daughter Aaliyah Amore, which means “The Highest One is Love” and “The Ascent, To Go Up.” That reassurance and faith gave me the confidence I needed to say, “I will keep this baby and she will be a blessing to me.”
Today, my tiny human is now 13-years-old. I have a virtual business and ministry that speaks to leadership nationwide. I am an award-winning coach, best-selling author, and conservative political strategist for statewide and national conservative victories.
Truly, God has lifted me up from my former dire straits and restored to me what was lost years ago. Today, I am walking in my pure spiritual calling. I am a homeschool mother. And my daughter is well on her way to entering an educational career that will align with her God-given desires.
Motherhood has been good to me because I made a conscious decision during my pregnancy that motherhood would be a blessing, not a curse. My mental, spiritual, and emotional health was in tact, which gave me what I needed to make wise decisions about my physical and financial health.
This pathway towards successful motherhood all began with my thoughts; and that is the message I bring to Evangelical conservative leadership who are looking for more effective ways to evangelize the prolife message in areas that are bombarded by the abortion industry’s Death Marketing.
Today, The Felecia Killings Foundation is excited to announce our newest Conscious Conservative Prolife Initiative, a virtual and in-person training program that equips Evangelical leadership with effective tools for powerful prolife outreach in Black communities. In addition, our mission is to help facilitate national talks about abortion from a mental health perspective, not simply a political one. In doing so, we can provide more choices and options to women so they no longer see abortion as the #1 “solution” for their external problems.
Today, we invite leaders like you to partner with us. In addition, we want to work with rising leaders who have a heart for the prolife work and want to establish themselves as thought leaders in this space who will write books, create prolife coaching services to women, and build nonprofit prolife organizations in areas (like Black communities) that are bombarded with abortion clinics.
