Unfortunately, tens of millions of women share this pain with her.

I am so sorry she had to kill her child before she would allow herself to see the truth.
The young woman sat in the doctor’s office waiting room and cuddled the 6 month-old boy in her lap. Soon she was escorted to an exam room.
The doctor finally came in, smiled, sat down, glanced at her file and asked “Mrs. Jones, what brings you here today?”
She hesitated — then the words tumbled out in a torrent.
“Doctor, my husband doesn’t make much money, we have 3 children now and I’m pregnant again. Doctor we just can’t afford another mouth to feed – we’re barely making it now. She paused again. “Doctor, I want an abortion.”
The doctor sat back in his chair, laid the file aside and said, “An abortion costs around 500 dollars and you probably don’t have the money. I have a better, less expensive option.”
Reaching into a drawer, the doctor extracted a scalpel and continued.
“Lay the lad here across your lap and pull his shirt up so his chest is exposed.”
Shocked, she blurted, “What are you going to do?”
“Why, we’ll simply kill THIS baby.”
Clutching her son to her breast, she leapt to her feet and shouted “You MONSTER!”
The doctor paused, then spoke.
“Mrs. Jones, the only difference between your proposal and mine is that one baby is IN your lap and the other is ON you lap and, therefore, much easier to get at.”
She ran from the room, his words ringing in her ears.
Is abortion the killing of a human being?
Not according to Obama, NARAL and the other radical feminist gangs who require that abortion continue to be available to them as a last resort birth control method to allow them to persist in their sexually promiscuous lifestyle.
I’ll believe it’s NOT a human being when a woman gives birth to a chicken, hog or a tree.
That’s an interesting perspective. My own anecdotal experience from talking with women about this issue is that those who have an abortion(s) tend to be reinforced in their pro choice stance, and those who have an unplanned baby tend to be reinforced in their pro life stance. The popular culture does backflips to tell young women that having an abortion is just fine. The living, breathing baby tells a young mother that she did the right thing. One way requires massive amounts of conditioning from the outside world, the other simply requires nature.
re: Abby Johnson, pro-life advocate and former Planned Parenthood director, said, “Telling a woman that abortion is the “empowering” response to a crisis pregnancy is really telling her that she is not strong enough to handle motherhood. What a terrible and unrealistic way to view women.” I might have been strong enough to handle motherhood. I certainly wasn’t strong enough to handle the abortion.
Good point.
That's undoubtedly true; but just as undoubtedly true are the numerous women who are seemingly unperturbed by it except for fear of the pain and/or danger of the procedure.
Given much less emphasis is that there is also pain experienced by the fathers of these aborted babies, those of whom who were ready to accept responibility for them but were forced to accept the mother-to-be's decision, and even pay for the procedure. I was one of them.
My own anecdotal experience of women who have had unplanned babies is the same as yours, but I have met many women who have had abortions and regretted their choice. Even if they were "pro-choice" before their abortion, having aborted a child and faced the reality of what they did made them change their minds or at least feel very burdened with guilt by their decision. Having been very active in the pro-life community for years, I was surprised to find out that many of those involved in the movement had experienced abortions and now regretted their decisions. Of course there were the hardcore abortion advocates who continually justified their decisions, but most women are not proud of their decisions to abort their children. Deep down they know the truth. For a very large percentage, the free “choice” was not truly free. They felt pressured into it by boyfriends, husbands, parents, and abortion providers.
The damage done to the mother is immeasurable. When she realizes she killed her own baby by turning her womb into a tomb the guilt eats her up.
The suicide and depression levels are off the charts.
Pray America wakes up
I guess once you’ve devolved down to hell because you’ve aborted a soul before it even had the chance to agree or disagree, the best tactic is to fully embrace the evil lest you displease your new dark master.
What the author didn’t mention at all in this article? The father of the child.
And there’s one big part of the problem. Abortion and so-called “women’s liberation” has only liberated men from their responsibilities.
“For a very large percentage, the free “choice” was not truly free. They felt pressured into it by boyfriends, husbands, parents, and abortion providers.”
I think there are probably more who regret it than will admit. There is huge cultural support for abortion, and that support is not all positive (in the reinforcement sense of the word). A typical young woman saying she is pro life to her friends takes some guts. She will be shamed in many cases. Even more than boyfriends, husbands, providers, and parents, there is the culture. The culture tells young women that children are a horrible burden. It also tells them that they MUST have a career, and that a child will mean that they can’t. The career is everything, and all other things that could interfere with it must be put aside. It’s a very sick culture.
So many babies, so much loss, so much pain. I have lost many family members because I liken supporting abortion and pro-abortion candidates to standing by and watching as Hitler and his ilk threw people into ovens. Greatest tragedy of our day.
“...turning her womb into a tomb...”
WOW! What powerful words! I’ll never forget that. Thx.
Feminists apparently think a woman is strong enough to handle the presidency, but not strong enough to handle a pregnancy.
So was I. One weekend trip to NY in 1971 changed my life forever. I’m now 63 and childless. The young woman involved later became my wife (I know why the abortion if we were getting married anyway? Long story), but could not get pregnant because of damage done by the procedure. We didn’t know this for years because she refused to try again for 17 years. Ultimately she died at 46 from aggressive breast cancer which I believe was also a result of the abortion. Abortion doesn’t just kill the baby, but also the souls of those involved.
So many have to learn the hard way, but then again so many more of the American people never learn at all.
