Should potential volunteers be required to go through a post-abortion bible study in order to volunteer/work at a pregnancy center?
I remember my emotions when I was told that because of my past abortion I was required to attend a bible study before volunteering at our local pregnancy care center. I was belligerent and said, “God’s healed me. I don’t need that!” I hung up and determined that the pregnancy care center wasn’t the place for me to serve. Thankfully the Lord worked through these emotions and hauled my wounded heart into a study. While I started the class kicking and screaming, believing it offered me nothing, God had other ideas. There were areas in my heart that I didn’t know needed addressing – grief, anger, bitterness and forgiving others. The healing power from the Lord during my memorial service was well worth attending the class. I believe that many people can experience healing when they come to know the Lord. For those of us who were Christians when we chose abortion, rededicating our lives back to God can also bring great restoration. A person’s true healing is difficult for anyone to judge. It
