Tinaâs Story Part 2: Abortion Hurt Our Family
My name is Tammy Hinchey. Iâm 37 years old, a Christian, and I am totally pro-life. I have experienced the after effects of abortion. You see my sister, Tina Brown, shared her story and I wanted to express the impact that her decision has had on our entire family.Â
Some say that abortion is âsoloâ and only affects the woman whoâs making the decision for her own body. Apparently others are NOT impacted from her decision to end a pregnancy. Â
I would like to point out that this is not accurate and is far from truth. My sisterâs decision had a rippling effect on our entire family. That one decision opened up what would become a 20 year addiction for my sister.Â
What does a person do when they canât escape the pain, the reality, of a decision that ended a life? For my sister, it was to self-destruct. Â And what about the family? We suffered too.Â
I wish I could take each person considering abortion through the last 20 years. I wish could load them into my car, and let them watch, as I drove into a known drug dealerâs home trying to rescue my sister whoâd been missing for days. I wish I could let them into a home where a husbandâs tears and pain can so visibly be seen when he realizes his wife had lied to him one more time. I wish I could let them sit at my kitchen table with bright eyed little girls who would ask when their momma would be back. I wish I could take them into all the family arguments, the financial burdens, and the missing person reports. I wish I could let them into the fear that ripped into my very heart of knowing there was a good chance Iâd lose my only sister. I wish I could push a rewind button and let them see the prayers and pleading that came from the very depths of my soul. I wish I could allow them to ease drop on the phone call that told me that my sister had just robbed a bank. I wish I could swing by and pick them up so they could ride with me to the state correctional center for a monthly visit. Why? Â Because this is the life we have lived and are living.Â
This is the life that followed one decision. Abortion is not a solo act. It will always impact othersâ lives.Â
 Today I rejoice that God heard my prayers and is now using this wrong to make so many things right. Thereâs a song that I dedicated to my dear sister because I firmly believe that her story, her upcoming book, and her desire to follow God will bring so much light into a dark world. That song is âThe Words I Would Sayâ by Sidewalk Prophetsâ Here they are:Â
âBe strong in the Lord never give up hope. Â Youâre going do great things I already know. Godâs got his hand on you so donât live life in fear forgive and forget but donât forget why youâre here. Take your time pray. These are the words I would say.â
