Hollywood filmmaker remembers abortion of his first child
by Carder
I’ll never forget the day — it was a Sunday when I was cleaning pots and pans while everybody else was busy praying. A friend came running in and said, “Jones, your girlfriend’s on the phone and she’s crying.” So I ran out, knowing that I wasn’t supposed to leave my station or answer the phone. But I picked it up, and she was crying, as I have never heard a woman cry before. Ever. The only way that I can explain it is that her soul was crying. And she kept saying over and over and over again, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It wasn’t me.”
And then her father said, “Jason,” over the other line, “I know your secret, and your secret’s gone. She had an abortion.”

So apparently the father of Jones couldn’t kill Jason, so he killed their child (his grandchild) instead.
In the old days, we had shotgun weddings. Nowadays we have cannula induced divorces.
Killing the child means killing the relationship, demanded by grandparents. I’ve heard way too many personal testimony post-abortive stories of mothers and fathers subjecting their children’s relationships to abortion procedures.
it’s like “Sorry baby – it’s nothing personal, but I really hate your father/mother who’s seeing my own child. You’ll forever remind me of that relationship, you’ll be like a pair of shackles to them and that’s not what I had planned for my daughter/son. So you have to be eliminated.”
I have met Jones before but I’ve never heard him tell the details of his story. I don’t understand why pro-aborts are so willing to deny that abortion coercion exists, what a horrific situation!
I know what crying from the soul feels like after a loss…this year especially has shown me that life cant be replaced.
This loss includes an aborted baby..
Crying from the soul …how very well put.
Seems as though the girl’s father really wanted to smash both his daughter and Jason as hard as he could.
Bet that girl got messed up, not only from the abortion, but from having that guy as her father.
But remember, abortion is freedom for women. Women are never coerced or pressured or forced to get an abortion. It’s a CHOICE! And a good one! A necessary one! It’s justice, for crying out loud!!!
What a terrible and violent father that poor girl has. So sorry for her and for Jones.
Hmm — I had a “friend” (I really didn’t like her too much, but she was nice to my son) who told me how her son and her girlfriend were expecting a baby and were both happy about it. She proudly admitted how she and the girl’s mother (who, by the way, was Catholic) “worked on” the couple until they agreed to have an abortion. She said her son was crying as he went with is girlfriend into the clinic. Now, this kid was an amateur boxer and was pretty tough so it would take a great deal to make him cry. He didn’t get along with his mother in the first place so I wonder what happened to their relationship after that.
Anyway, this woman thought she was hot stuff (she really wasn’t) and probably just didn’t want to be a grandmother. As I mentioned, I didn’t like her that much in the first place but after that I couldn’t stand her and never spoke to her again.
This just absolutely breaks my heart.
I don’t understand people like her father. I just don’t.
Hi Jason!!
Your story always breaks my heart.
Especially in person.
Thank you for sharing it my friend.
Fight on brother!!
I can’t imagine having my own grandchild killed. That’s what blows my mind, not only was the girlfriend’s “father” willing to screw up his own daughter, he had no feelings about killing his own grandchild. This is terrible.
If you ever get the chance to hear Jason tell his story, live and in person, then make every sacrifice to do so. I heard him speak at Chesterton Convention 2011 (and enjoyed a secret preview of Crescendo), and his story changed my life and secured my enthusiasm for ending abortion.
Jason’s story is real and heartfelt — a star-studded tale of tragedy and healing, divine intervention and triumph. Why we fight and why we’ll win.
Jason: I know you read Jill’s blog. Did your girlfriend’s father live long enough to repent of what he had done to his daughter and his granddaughter?

Yes, it’s a choice, and women are free to choose it. And you know full well that that is not to say that every woman will choose it or should choose it. And you also know that it really has nothing to do with Jason Jones’ story.
Women should not be coerced or pressured or forced to have an abortion any more than they should be coerced or pressured or forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy against their will.
Aloha Del- great to hear from you—I do read Jill’s blog. I have a policy of not entering the treacherous waters of the combox but your question hit a sensitive spot for me. For the longest time I had a lot of anger toward her father and men who were “pro-choice” in general. But by the grace of God several years ago her father gave a heartfelt apology to my high school girlfriend. I understand why he would never talk to me. His apology came a year to the week Eduardo V and I prayed for his conversion at the very spot St. Peter was crucified in Rome. It was at that time I not only came to forgive him but could see, in our culture, how a father could think that forcing his daughter to have an abortion was what was good for her
