As she recalled, “It [abortion] is supposed to make us a bad person. But I must say, I never felt that. I used to sit and try and figure out how old the child would be, trying to make myself feel guilty. But I never could!

The very fact that she sits around thinking about how old her child would have been had she not killed it is strong evidence that she *does* feel guilty about it (whatever she might try to claim).

No woman, ever, has sat around thinking, "Gee, if only I had not been taking the pill that month, my kid would be x years old now." That's because she chose not to get pregnant--and that is truly a guilt-free choice.

I think the person who said: ‘Honey, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament’ was right.

Nope. The fact that a majority of women are pro-life puts the lie to that claim.

Speaking for myself, I knew it was the first time I had taken responsibility for my own life...But still, I didn’t tell anyone. Because I knew that out there it wasn’t [positive].”

She didn't tell anyone, because she had to struggle with the same issue that women who kill their babies today have to struggle with: people stigmatize murderers. Especially since abortion is the antithesis of taking responsibility--nothing is more irresponsible than choosing to get pregnant because abortion is available and more convenient than being responsible.

She also said, “In later years, if I’m remembered at all it will be for inventing a phrase like ‘reproductive freedom’ ... as a phrase it includes the freedom to have children or not to.

Abortion is not, and has never been, about the freedom whether or not to have children. A big reason for abortion is so that "feminists" can "prove" how "liberated" they are. Pro-life women who would never consider killing their unborn kids can, and do, exercise their right to not have children all the time.
