Welcome to Among the Lilies.

This is a show for ladies who are tired of pretending and are ready to be real.

I'm your host, Cameron Frad.

In today's episode, I chat with this amazing, beautiful girl, Gracie.

She is very brave in sharing her story. She found herself, um,

in a rough situation and she ended up having an abortion. And she shares her story very bravely.

And, um, it goes on, I'll warn you, it's a long, we ended up, God did not want, or God wanted this episode to happen. Satan did not want this episode to happen. So we spent, it was over two hours that we finally, once we got on the phone, we were able to talk, we were chatting. We had a lot of technology difficulty, which I really think Satan uses this microphone sometimes or Skype. And so I'm actually going to do it in two

parts. So this is the first part of a two part episode talking about abortion and just Gracie's sharing

her story really beautifully. And then in the next part, she kind of talks about her life now and what it

looks like and how you can maybe help someone you know

heal from having an abortion or someone that you know that's contemplating it what you can do

to love and support them so I hope you enjoy this episode.

Shouldn't you be mine?

Shouldn't you be easier to love?

So kind of paint the picture for us.

So you just kind of, yeah, paint the picture.

You grew up Catholic.

You were an athlete in college.

Yeah, kind of paint the picture for us.

Yeah, okay.

So I grew up in like, I would feel just like a standard Catholic home that you have in this day and age.

Like we went to church every single Sunday and I had my first communion.
