Pro-Choice Catholic Testimony
Real Catholics. Real Stories.
“Giving birth at that time in my life, when I was not ready to care for a child, would have been harmful to both of us.”
“It’s been over 50 years. I have not told the whole story of my abortion to anyone, ever. I deserve to heal. It is sad that I cannot go to my faith to experience that healing.”
“She turned to someone in the village without telling anyone, alone and ashamed.”
“My parents, both devout Catholics, and my husband supported my decision.”
“He was my son. I named him, I prayed for him, I mourned him. I let him go.”
“If everyone knew what patients go through, abortion wouldn’t even be an issue that people argue about.”
“When I was a young anti-abortion activist, I believed that I was pro-life, but now I understand that providing reproductive care is the most pro-life thing I possibly can do.”
“I am part of the majority of Catholics who are pro-choice, and our voices should be heard.”
“I do not regret my abortion. That choice allowed me to find religion, allowed me to graduate, allowed me to begin a career — none of which would have been possible if I had become pregnant.”
“I’m a single mom… The Catholic church isn’t feeding my child.”
