Woman Who Regrets Her Abortion: “I Wish I Could Turn Back the Clock”

One postabortion woman says:

“I’ve always loved babies, and I love my boyfriend—although we’ve only been together for less than a year. But I let my fear get the best of me…I had my abortion at 11 weeks, 2 days, on the 7th of February, 2017. I waited over a month after finding out because I struggled. But I did it, and it is the worst decision I’ve ever made, I wish I walked out of the hospital that morning. I took my baby home with me to bury and that just deepened my pain—but I don’t regret that. I cry and I get angry a lot. It’s a huge thing to hold on your shoulders. I’m constantly looking up pictures of what my baby would have looked like right now if I had kept him or her. Nothing has ever hurt me this bad; I feel so stupid. I wish I could turn back the clock. BE SURE ABORTION IS WHAT YOU WANT. Don’t let the pressure get to you. Ugh. It just sucks so bad, thinking about my little baby all the time.”

Abortion is never what you want.

Hey, I know cops who took down really bad guys and even THEY had regrets.

For a person who terminates the life of an innocent, that must be horrific if that person has any conscience

I took my baby home with me to bury

Do hospitals generally allow that?

I can understand asking to be given your, e.g., gallstones to take home with you - but an unborn baby? Which has probably been dismembered or otherwise disfigured by the "procedure?"

I dunno... Maybe hospitals should actually require the mothers of aborted babies to carry the remains home with them - preferably in a transparent container?

Abortion is very bad for women.
Cancer risks go up tremendously.

We were friends with some old lady who had abortion like 50 years before that.
She was still depressed, thinking constantly what would the baby be.
Very sorry situation, but apparently quite common.

So sad.

I’d call it a mistake but that word doesn’t carry the weight that it holds.

Heartbreaking for the rest of her life.

Well you can’t “turn back the clock” dummy

At all. It’s murder, period.

[No name given]

That’s the sad truth.

“I wish I walked out of the hospital that morning.” You should have.

[Lizavetta]

I wish every woman understood, before the act, that if she gets an abortion she will still be a mother, but of a dead baby that she hired someone to eliminate. I can't imagine the haunting thoughts that she must live with, even years later, of what she's done.

I know women who, after too much wine, break down and sob about their abortions.
