Emily’s Story

Ezekiel—2014

When Emily discovered she was pregnant, she was happy, surprised, and scared all at the same time. A freshman in college and living at home, she feared her parents’ reaction. Although her sister and her best friend gave encouragement, the father of her baby responded with anger telling her that he wanted nothing to do with her or the baby...she decided abortion was her only choice. 

At four weeks pregnant, she made an abortion appointment at Planned Parenthood. After taking the first part of the abortion pill regimen, she left feeling terrible. 

“I began to pray as hard as I could for forgiveness and help,” Emily said. 

Then, she had an idea: Maybe she could “reverse” the abortion. With her sister at her side, they searched online and found Heartbeat’s Abortion Pill Rescue Network. 

Thanks to the reversal treatment, Emily delivered a healthy baby boy and named him Ezekiel, which means “God Strengthens.” Today, Emily is married to a man who loves Ezekiel as much as she does. Emily believes God saved her life by saving her son’s life.
