From author Melinda Tankard Reist, who interviewed many postabortion women:
“Women often spoke of being unable to get satisfactory help for their grief from clinics or organizations connected with abortion. Karleen said that when she sought help at a women’s counseling clinic in Sydney she was told it was wrong of her to speak badly of her abortion experience. Kara, from Queensland, told of posting her personal abortion story on an Internet discussion of abortion. She was told to “get lost” – her story wasn’t welcome….If a woman is depressed after an abortion, she is made to feel it’s her own inability to deal with sadness which is the problem. The onus is all on the woman.”

Thug life, real, unglorified.
Many career women have an abortion when younger in order to focus on their career, and then wait too long and have difficulty getting pregnant. Many times I have had them tell me that they feel their inability to get pregnant was a punishment for having an abortion.
Deep down, all souls know that killing is wrong. It is impossible to do so and not create a wound in the soul.
Some feel deep remorse and find forgiveness. Some become activists to convince others that abortion is acceptable so they might find comfort in believing it themselves if they have convinced others. There are many masks to denial!
they don’t fit the agenda template.
Maybe it is a punishment for abortion, you don’t know.
Abortion is the High Holy Sacrament of the feminists. Everything else takes second place.
