“When a single woman discovers she’s expecting an unanticipated child, health concerns, spiritual turmoil, embarrassment, financial worries, educational questions, marriage uncertainty, and the sadness of shattered dreams can, in a moment of pain and bewilderment, lead to steps that will bring deep pain and regret. For any who’ve experienced the pain and regret from participating in an abortion, please remember: Although we cannot change the past, God can heal the past. Forgiveness can come through the miracle of His atoning grace as you turn to Him with a humble, repentant heart. Two words are often attached to the sanctity of mortal birth: life and choice. Life is a most precious part of our Father’s perfect plan. By His decree we cherish and preserve life; and we choose the continuation of life once conceived. We also treasure the gift of choice, of moral agency – helping to strengthen righteous choices approved by God that bring eternal happiness.” – Elder Neil L. Andersen
