Kandi's
Testimony
My name is Kandi Cox, from Cabot, AR. I was
19 years old when I was faced with an unplanned pregnancy.
As I thought through what was happening in my life I felt scared and alone. At
that time in my life I did not feel I had anyone to turn to that I could count
on to guide and help me. The father of the baby made it very clear that he did
not want this child and I felt so trapped. I could see no other choice but to
terminate my pregnancy.
I called an abortion clinic and spoke with them about my situation and they told
me that I needed to come in and confirm that I was even pregnant. I went to the
abortion clinic in Memphis, TN where they confirmed my pregnancy. Next I was led
to a “Counseling Room” where I was told that it was only a “blob” of
tissue and it was not yet a baby. Then the counselor looked at me and said
“whose choice is this?” Being that I was all alone at this point I simply
said “mine?” Although I felt pressure from the father and my situation, I
felt silly responding any other way.
Soon afterward I was led upstairs to the room where my abortion was to take
place. They gave me gas and told me to relax. The doctor examined me, looked at
the nurse and stated how far along I was. At that point I knew I could go no
further. Then a heard a noise that sent chills down my whole body and
immediately felt sick at my stomach, I cried out and told them that I could not
go through with this. I BEGGED FOR THEM TO STOP! The nurse told me that it was
too late and ran to the door and yelled for help because I was fighting her and
the doctor, next thing I knew I had three nurses holding me down. All I can
remember at that point was moving my head back and forth trying so hard to get
loose.
When the procedure was over I was taken to a room filled with beds and women
sobbing. I felt so empty and violated. No one ever told me of the anxiety,
depression, guilt, or emotional scars that I would bear, nor did they warn me of
the miscarriages that I would have due to the damage in my uterus.
I praise God for His healing, glorious grace, but I share my story because I
don’t want anyone else to suffer the way I have. God has blessed my husband
Chris and me with two beautiful little girls that we love dearly, but we regret
that on this side of Glory they will never know Amanda Abigail. ABORTION HURTS
WOMEN!
