In 1981, at the age of 21, Sue Liebel had an abortion. Other than her friend, who drove her to and from Planned Parenthood 90 minutes from her home, she didn’t tell another soul for 30 years!
In an interview with guest host Adam McManus, she describes what was going through her mind as she walked up the steps of that Indiana abortion mill, the sound of that suction machine that haunts her to this day, and the recovery room where six other young women sat in a circle of navy blue La-Z-Boys, hanging their heads in shame.
After grappling with the emotionally traumatic aftermath of abortion, she came to faith in Christ at the age of 38. Subsequently, she attended a life-changing abortion recovery weekend with other women who experienced the forgiveness and healing that only a Savior could give.
Today, Sue Liebel is the Director of State Affairs for Susan B. Anthony Pro Life America, the largest pro-life political group in the country. She and her husband, David, live in Indianapolis, Indiana.
This show is the perfect conversation to mark the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision which was handed down on June 24, 2022, overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case which had legalized abortion.
