Abortion Hurts …
Take It from One Who Knows

Testimony of Michaelene Fredenburg to the Health Subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee on Energy & Commerce, Tuesday, May 1, 2007

Mr. Chairman, good afternoon; my name is Michaelene Fredenburg, I am the President of Life Perspectives, and I live in San Diego, California.  I am grateful that you are considering H.R. 20, as it is a critical to study and treat post-partum depression. I am also grateful for the opportunity to testify before this Committee today.

As a teenager, I assumed legalized abortion was necessary for women to attain their educational and career goals. So it’s not surprising that when I became pregnant at 18, I thought about having an abortion. I also considered adoption.

My 28-year-old live-in boyfriend was furious when he discovered I was pregnant. He immediately demanded that I have an abortion or he would kick me out. I turned to my employer for advice. After I told her about my situation, she recommended abortion. She said it was the only logical option and offered to arrange one for me.

My experience at the abortion clinic was painful and humiliating—nothing like I’d imagined when I defended a woman’s “right to choose.” Although the young women awaiting their abortions were anxious and tearful, the clinic staff was cold and aloof. I met briefly with a “counselor” who characterized my eight-week pregnancy as a “couple of cells” and the “products of conception.”
