The Stara's first pregnancy was terminated when she was 15 years old.

She didn't understand what was happening.

After three more abortions, she finally learned the truth.

I heard it from focus on the family and they were talking about pro-life being a baby, a human being in your stomach.

And I was like, wow, that's pro life.

Today, Dostara has six children who represent God's love and forgiveness in her life.

And today, Dostara is a pro-life advocate.

So it's focus on the family has definitely sharpened me and I'm looking forward to

continuing to being sharpening. I'm not embarrassed anymore about the choices that I made. I'm wanting to help.

So every 73 seconds an American is sexually assaulted and every nine minutes that victim is a child.

And so, I mean, it's this heartbreaking, despicable, and yet very, very common, which as we experience that sort of trauma, which creates

such such painful wounds, I mean, we're going to walk those things into our marriage, into our relationships
