Pat Robertson Interviews Former Stripper Who Says God Canceled Her Abortion

On Thursday's airing of the Christian Broadcasting Networks "The 700 Club," a former sex worker told Pat Robertson about how her conversion to Christianity saved the life of her son, as it stopped her from having an abortion.

The woman, Anny Donewald, told Robertson and co-host Terry Meeuwsen about her struggle with Christianity, especially due to her tainted past as a rape survivor and her previous profession as a sex worker.

Donnewald told Robertson and Meeuwsen that she used sex and alcohol to medicate herself after suffering from a childhood molestation, and often worked as both a prostitute and a stripper.

The former atheist said that it was difficult to turn away from the money she was making in her profession, but it was when she became pregnant with her son that she found Christianity. The woman told the television hosts that she believes Jesus convinced her to keep her son, instead of aborting him.

"You know, I was pregnant with my son, and went to have an abortion because I'm dead on the inside, I don't feel like I deserve — for a number of reasons," Donewald told the interviewers. "But I was an atheist at the time so I prayed. The running joke was that I was the praying atheist. And I said, 'God, I don't know if you're real or if you can hear me, but I don't think you want me to do this. But I'm not going to be the one to stop it. You stop it.'"

Donewald went on to say that she reportedly made five different abortion appointments, "and they all got canceled0", thus proving to her that "God is real."

The former sex worker then encouraged the Christian community to be more accepting of prostitutes and those who have strayed from God. "We demonize the people there," she said. "These girls are some of the most precious girls that have just taken a wrong turn, and all these need is another chance."
