Wow. I never knew Norma’s story. It breaks my heart to see how painfully she was used. I’m so glad she found forgiveness and healing.
great work! where are the next two segments?
got em! thanks
Another opportunity to plug Norma’s book, “Won by Love.” A great read!! Norma, we are so glad you are on the pro-life team!! :>)
Does anyone know if she”s grown past her earlier tolerance of first-trimester abortions? I haven’t heard, but hope so.
Hans, I think this is pretty clear.

“One Hundred Percent Pro-Life”
When my conversion became public knowledge, I spoke openly to reporters about still supporting legalized abortion in the first trimester. The media was quick to use this to downplay the seriousness of my conversion, saying I typified the “general ambivalence” of our culture over abortion. But a few weeks after my conversion, I was sitting in O.R.’s offices when I noticed a fetal development poster. The progression was so obvious, the eyes were so sweet. It hurt my heart, just looking at them.
I ran outside and finally, it dawned on me. “Norma,” I said to myself, “They’re right.” I had worked with pregnant women for years. I had been through three pregnancies and deliveries myself. I should have known. Yet something in that poster made me lose my breath. I kept seeing the picture of that tiny, 10-week-old embryo, and I said to myself, that’s a baby! It’s as if blinders just fell off my eyes and I suddenly understood the truth–that’s a baby!
I felt “crushed” under the truth of this realization. I had to face up to the awful reality. Abortion wasn’t about ‘products of conception.’ It wasn’t about ‘missed periods.’ It was about children being killed in their mother’s wombs. All those years I was wrong. Signing that affidavit, I was wrong. Working in an abortion clinic, I was wrong. No more of this first trimester, second trimester, third trimester stuff. Abortion–at any point–was wrong. It was so clear. Painfully clear.
Thanks, navi. Her story realy does exemplify “a little child shall lead them”, doesn’t it?
Thank God these women are Pro Life now! ;)
Add me on facebook if you are pro Life. I am very pro life and I want to stop abortion altogether.
