Shame After an Abortion with Angel Murchison

Apr 28, 2023

How can someone overcome the shame experienced after an abortion? Today's guest, abortion survivor Angel Murchison, offers insights to help those suffering from the emotional trauma of this procedure.

Angel is the founder of Healing Waters Women’s Ministry, the author of Good Morning Beautiful People: Angel’s Prayer of the Day, and a radio talk show host on Destiny Moments. She speaks out about the impact of Post Abortion Stress and offers help and hope to women who have had an abortion like she did. She lives in Presque, Maine and has three adult daughters. See www.fggam.org.

Murchison shares her personal story of undergoing an abortion at age 15. She expresses the pain of her experience and how God brought her healing in layers.

Angel exposes the lies of shame suffered by those who have had abortions. She emphasizes how God has a plan for every life. Angel expresses her heart and mission to help others fulfill their God-given destinies.

Murchison encourages women to seek help and to tell their abortion stories. Sharing personal experiences can prove healing to both parties.

Angel shares her journey to healing through authenticity, Bible study, prayer, and fellowship with other Christian survivors. She relates how God led her to recognize life's value and the grace He extended to hers. She details an account of feeling led to visit her parents' grave to thank them for life. 

Murchison cites that one in three women have had an abortion. She discusses the importance of grieving the loss. Angel states that the church should be a place for healing.

Murchison outlines the following steps toward overcoming shame after an abortion:

  • Accept God's love and grace.
  • Forgive yourself.
  • Get embedded in the love of Christ. Know and believe He loves you.
  • Hear God's voice.
  • Believe He has a plan to work things out for your good.
  • Find a Bible study or group to which you can belong.
  • Engage in service. Helping others brings us healing.

Angel states her heart for women. Regardless of the lies you believe or have been told, God calls you beautiful.

Murchison acknowledges that believing can be hard work, especially if you come from a hard background.

Angel declares that you were born for greatness. Discover your gifts that God intends you to use. Love and help one another.
