Sandy Spady Abortion Speaker
Sandy is the founder of Women with Voices and the CEO of Power Up. She shares her courageous story of the transformative power of healing, forgiveness, and God’s mercy after having 3 abortions and living a life filled with unhealthy relationships and shame.
After being drugged and raped in her early 20’s and discovering that she was pregnant, her boyfriend of four years rejected her, and she found herself alone. Sandy then had her first abortion. Deep down this experience and this choice to abort made her feel shameful, unworthy, and unlovable and caused her to enter into relationships with men who treated her like she felt. This led her to have two more abortions.
At age 50, Sandy finally broke free from the chains of woundedness and attended a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat (a retreat for women who have had abortions). By the grace of God’s unfathomable Divine Mercy, she has since been able to forgive the ones who have hurt her and forgive herself. Her passion now is to break the silence of shame, to spread the joy of forgive-ness, and to help women of all ages, love themselves and find the joy of God’s love for us all.
