Because misery loves company
Always.
“Because misery loves company”
Indeed. Women who have had abortions act so strangely* that I concluded they feel something so bad that if they can just get others to do it also, the feeling will go away.
* By strangely, I mean absolutely loony. I saw a woman in Walmart wearing a t-shirt reading “I had an abortion and I feel great about it.” But even before I read her shirt, I’d stepped aside to avoid her as the expression she wore was the look of someone poised to drive a knife into you.
