I have long wondered about the trauma a woman must go through after she has an abortion. To execute a person who has been found guilty of a heinous crime takes a unanimous verdict by a jury of 12 peers, countless court appeals and years of abeyance on death row. However, a woman can make the decsion alone with no help, no support and no counseling to end a life. The weight of that decision must be a horrendously heavy burdento bear. I think that it also gets heavier as time passes.

It is interesting that an assembly of judges has thrown such a cloak on women, especially as they sit as arbiters of justice.

IMHO, one of the keys to unravelling the abortion culture will be making such women understand that they can't erase their guilt by pretending abortion is okay, but only by acknowledging that it isn't. Humans make mistakes--sometimes big ones. Even a person who made a really heinous mistake can still be a good person if they recognize their mistake and seek to atone for it.

Once these people realize that the "pro-choice" people have been twisting their guilt against them, I expect them to become an overwhelming army of pro-life advocates.
