I don't like to bash women like this because it doesn't help things in the long run.

I was impressed by the men who wanted to take the honorable course.

I don't like the idea of telling these stories with the intention of goading other impressionable women into doing as they have done. Misery seems to love company.

I don't know anyone in my family who got an abortion, but it could have happened. My neighbor's aunt had six abortions, and that would have been before it was legal. Hard to fathom.

Before abortion, life wasn't a bed of roses for a lot of women either, and if they ever had the misfortune of having an illegitimate child, people made sure they paid, and paid, and paid, so it had to be kept secret.

It is my belief that one can make the best of a bad situation and come through in the end better for it.

I feel pity for these women, because I don't think they gained one second of happiness by having their abortions, even though they don't seem wracked by guilt that many women feel after having an abortion.

I don't know any abortion stories with happy endings.

As despicable as abortion is at any point in history, the primary difference between having had one forty years ago illegally and today is that women 40 years ago did not have the kind of knowledge of their reproductive systems, access to effective birth control, or even ability to voice a no to sexual advances of a husband or boyfriend without fear of repurcussions. These things are only a problem for the woman who allow them to be a problem for her now. The "necessity" for abortion has long passed. That is the dirty little secret the pro-aborts won't tell you.

Because when it is all said and done, there is none. All of these stories are sad sad sad. Multiple marriages, multiple relationships, multiple divorces.

I do hope they air this, this could turn out to be a documentry on WHY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ONE.
