I know women who when very young (e.g. late teens) had an abortion, and who have never gotten over how they feel about themselves for having done this. All of those I know like this have never had another, and are not pro-abortion. It's disgusting that this ‘filmmaker’ is trying to make this into a heroic act. It's a tragedy, for the unborn and for those who make this decision and live a life of regret.

I believe in the right to choose, but also believe that this ‘choice’ comes much earlier, when choosing to be responsible sexually - equally relevant to both men and women.

I have a friend who had an abortion while in college. Her boyfriend at the time wanted no kids and brought great pressure on her to abort the baby. She was not on good terms with her family and decided to give in to his demands.

Although she rarely talks about the abortion I believe she still can’t get over it. She accepted Christ and I have told her repeatedly if you ask for forgiveness the Lord casts that sin as far as the east is from the west, you are beating yourself up for something that had been forgiven. Since her college days she has married and has several beautiful children and is a church going, kind hearted woman. But I have no doubt she would tell you that abortion was not anything to be proud of, it still causes her pain decades later.
