Abortion victim describes the ‘trauma’ she experienced: ‘You are blocking people for generations’

Having survived her mother’s attempted abortion on her life in the womb, Priscilla Hurley chose to have an abortion at the ages of 19 and 25 and worked in an abortion clinic for three years until she decided to take life in a different direction.

Hurley now works with organizations”And Then There Was None” And “Abortion Survivors Network,“She shares the story of her trauma as an abortion survivor, abortion participant, and provider. She now has three children and 11 grandchildren.

“There were probably at least 7,000 babies abducted during my time as an abortion clinic worker, so those things in my heart had to be reconciled.” Hurley told Fox News Digital. “So much forgiveness, so much healing.”

“My story started in the womb, when my mother was pregnant with me,” he said. “This was my first experience with abortion.”

Hurley’s widowed mother of four panicked because she didn’t have enough support around her during the second trimester of her pregnancy. So she found someone to attempt a surgical abortion to “end her problem.”

“This is a familiar justification for many women today because they continue to use abortion as a problem-solving issue,” she said. “She (her mother) said that both she and the doctor thought it was probably a twin, meaning my twin whose life was taken that day,” Hurley said of her attempted in-utero abortion.

Hurley was a 19-year-old college student when she first became pregnant. She went to her mother and stepfather to find answers, and they arranged for her to have her first abortion.

“It wasn’t legal yet at the federal level, it was legal in California, but it was under general anesthesia,” he said. “I had no conscious memory of it, but I went to the hospital pregnant and came out not pregnant again.”

“Looking back, I was really devastated… I went back to college and at that point my life just kind of spiraled out of control, really out of control,” she said.

Hurley, Roe v. She got pregnant again after Wade, but her second abortion was “a different experience.”

“It was devastatingly painful because it was local anesthesia, a popular procedure done surgically, but it was done with vacuum aspiration, so you’re conscious, you’re awake, and at that point I realized something really devastating had happened.” in question.

“I was truly a wounded woman at this point,” she added. “I was traumatized and injured and was exhibiting rebellious behavior.”

But even after her second abortion, Hurley thought that if she worked in the abortion industry, at a clinic, it might help other women not feel “so bad and alone” about choosing to have an abortion. For three years, Hurley worked at a private women’s clinic in San Francisco that utilized Planned Parenthood coverage; She and other workers at the clinic relied on messages that abortion would help women “solve a problem.”

“When I worked at an abortion clinic, we would stand next to women during procedures and encourage them,” she recalled. “It was a little twisted, but that’s what we did. That was our job.”

Hurley notes that politicians, as well as the abortion industry, play a role in messaging about abortion, which “fear mongering among womenespecially those in “desperate situations”.

“Because you’ve worked in the industry and a lot of people will tell you that… There’s an ongoing dialogue with the women that come in and one of them is that you’re playing with their fears anyway,” she said. “You try to bring them in because abortion is money, so you always have to come back to that.”

He also said that politicians are like that too. Vice President Kamala Harris and former vice president Gov. Tim Walz are also part of the “money machine” that drives abortion-related messaging.

“When you talk about my body and my choice: ‘Sorry, hello, I’m a living human being who was once in the womb and whose life was threatened by abortion,'” Hurley said.

“Here is a person who you say is not worth living, who is not valued enough to have the right to live, and yet here I sit with a productive life, having to overcome a lot of trauma, but sitting with a productive life with her children and grandchildren,” she said. “When you say abortion is good, you’re shutting down generations of people. Generations.”

While considering an abortion, Hurley said she would have made different decisions if she had had someone to support her.

“Even though my parents thought they were doing the right thing, it made me very sad,” he said. “When you think about what my mother went through, her decision to have an abortion, the trauma she added to her life, the trauma she brought to my life before I was even born… My mother had no one to take her to. We talked about it, but she still potentially contributed to the taking of her other child’s life and mine.”

“When I survived that, I have a unique testimony, as do many abortion survivors: that was me, that clump of cells, that fetus, whatever pro-abortion people want to say, that was me,” she said.

Hurley was in a near-fatal car accident, which he described as divine intervention to get his attention. He found a job opportunity in Alaska and never looked back. Hurley said her goal is to help women humanize their babies and the value of the child they are carrying.

“I got pregnant again… and at that point I decided to go to graduate school. I was 30. No one was going to tell me to have an abortion again,” Hurley said.

“One response to trauma is to submit to authority,” he said. “As an abortion survivor, there’s always that layer of ‘I’m not seen, I’m not valued,’ and you don’t feel like your voice really matters. I finally found my voice when I was 30 and decided to have my son.”

Hurley said his work is part of his recovery experience. Although the topic was not discussed publicly on a personal level, she joined a community of people with similar experiences of abortion and its complications.

“Women seeing the sonogram and seeing their baby, seeing the heartbeat…seeing that on the screen kind of makes you think, ‘Oh my God, this isn’t a person, it’s just a fetus, it’s a clump of cells.’” “It’s a beating heart, it’s a foot.” “I can see your fingers, I can see your fingers,'” he said.

“It took me a long time to reconcile these experiences because I survived,” he said. “My children did not survive.”
