Abortion begins downward spiral: a testimony – listen closely APA

Dakota Voice has posted this testimony which was reprinted with permission of Operation Outcry. It is prefaced with this publisher’s note: “this personal testimony is being reprinted in light of the upcoming vote in South Dakota on Initiated Measure 11 and the recent statement by the American Psychological Association that abortion does not threaten women’s mental health.”

The testimony begins: “My name is Theresa Bonopartis and I am post abortive. Like many teenagers who find themselves pregnant, I hid my pregnancy from my parents out of fear. I was in my fourth month when I finally told them, and although it was something I did not expect, they threw me out of the house and told me to forget I was their daughter . . . “
