EP. 27: Robin Fuller | Hope and Healing After Abortion

Robin and I chat her own abortion, hope and healing after abortion, purity, forgiveness, and ministry leadership.

4:04 Robin shares her faith journey with us, the abortion she had in college, and how she tried to maintain the "perfect" mask.

"At 3 years old there were some people who paired me off with this little boy named Glenn and they thought it was really cute.  And something really got inside of me at that time where I felt I needed a guy to complete me.  I had a boyfriend from Kindergarten all the way through and if I didn't have one I was looking."

Prior to the start of her junior year of college at Oral Roberts University, Robin had a positive pregnancy test.

After telling her mother, she went and told the chaplain of Oral Roberts and she was asked to leave.  She had broken the moral code she had signed.

7:00 "I got on a Greyhound bus and I traveled across the country, all by myself from Oklahoma to California, into the arms of my boyfriend. Somehow within a week I found myself in an abortion clinic in Fresno, California having an abortion. I remember laying on that table praying my boyfriend would come and save me and he didn't. I remember waking up and I remember getting in the car and he looked at me and said, 'I wish we hadn't done that.' "

9:17 Robin shares a little of what life was like following the abortion

10:45 Robin begins sharing about becoming the director of a pregnancy center at the age of 25.

"I knew I needed healing from my own abortion experience when I attended training on the very first day and they actually showed a video of an abortion being done...and I drove away and I knew I wasn't okay. Thankfully, these sweet women took me under their wing and taught me about Post-abortion Syndrome and they helped me get the healing I needed."

13:13 Robin shares more about Post-abortion Syndrome

14:42 Robin shares a God moment with us regarding a vision of her aborted son

Daniel James was the name God gave Robin during that vision for the curly haired boy she saw coming toward her.

"This little boy, about 6 years old, looked at me and ....said, 'I love you mommy.' He said, 'I forgive you and I can't wait to see you someday.' "

"They say 70% of women who have abortions attend a protestant or a Catholic church."

19:13 Robin shares about her own crisis pregnancy while she was director of a pregnancy center

"Here I was living this expected "godly" lifestyle, but I was still holding part of myself back from the Lord. I wasn't fully living for Him, but when I got pregnant this time I committed to the Lord to be all in."

"I walked into the board meeting and told them of my situation, that I was pregnant and it wasn't my husbands child (I was still married. He was not complying with the divorce at that point). I told the board and their response blew me away. They said, 'If you're not a crisis pregnancy, we don't know who is and there's no way we could turn our back on you.' They allowed me to stay in the position....That board extended grace to me."
