I’ve sensed for decades that those who most rabidly promote abortion are those who are trying to suppress their own feelings of guilt over having killed their own child. As someone pointed out above, it’s a matter of trying to convince themselves that what they did is not so bad, since so many others are doing it. But no matter how many others they pressure into having abortions, the sickening knowledge that they killed their own child is only increased every time they successfully compel another woman to kill a baby. So their anger and rabid support of abortion grows, and they never find peace.

Abortion sales begin even before a girl becomes sexually active. Planned Parenthood has a comprehensive sales pitch—stressing the pleasure of sexual activity, teaching about birth control but exaggerating its dangers and likelihood of failure so as to convince young girls that they are better off not using it, and promoting abortion not only as safe, but as therapeutic. When I was in high school, a Planned Parenthood sales representative actually told my biology class that a late term abortion will cure menstrual cramps. She also encouraged the use of the rhythm method by describing the signs of ovulation so that we could avoid sex during the fertile time—except that she switched the “safe” and “risky” phases of the cycle, so that anyone following her advice would be having sex at the most fertile time. Do I think she made a mistake? No, she was intentionally lying so as to increase the number of “unwanted” pregnancies and drum up business.
