When I decided to get an abortion, I asked God and the Virgin of Guadalupe to help me so that everything would go well. Later I met new friends and told them that I felt guilty for all that had happened. Thanks to them I understood that God doesn’t judge, that God is love and that I can take decisions in conscience.
