Serena Dyksen had never even heard the word "abortion" until a family doctor recommended that her parents take her for one at the age of 13 after she was raped and impregnated by her uncle.

"One day, I was on the school bus, and I just blurted out to someone what had happened to me," Dyksen told The Christian Post in an interview. "I think I was just at a point in my life where I needed help."

Becoming pregnant from her uncle in the late 1980s was something Dyksen tried to hide at first out of shame. But a guidance counselor later pulled Dyksen out of choir class to ask if a family member had assaulted her. At first, the child didn't want to admit she was assaulted, but she eventually did. The girl's parents came and took her to the family doctor, who referred them to an abortion facility.

Dyksen's parents then brought her to the Women's Pavilion Center in South Bend, Indiana, one of several facilities operated by Ulrich George Klopfer, who died in September 2019 and made headlines after authorities in Will County, Illinois, were alerted to the discovery of over 2,000 fetal remains at his home. Additional remains were later discovered in the trunk of the abortionist's car.

Fast forward to today, Dyksen uses her experience as a rape victim who hemorrhaged after the adults in her life persuaded her to go through with an abortion as a child to lead other women who underwent abortions find healing and forgiveness in their lives through the ministry she founded, She Found His Grace.
