I do agree with Koop, however, quoted in the piece (I think it was he) as saying the focus should be kept on the babies. That is the true evil. A little depression is nothing compared with the loss of life.
Some treatment was given to the religious and nonreligious, pro-life and pro-abort postabortion counseling. I found some of the techniques a little sick: picking out baby shoes, holding dolls, giving the aborted child a name--especially when these techniques are used by pro-abort counselors.
The author's summing up of the religious healing that many women have found: You can't repent a depression, but you can repent an abortion, and wait to meet your perfect baby in heaven. In other words, it gives them a phony issue to focus on. Good for her for coming up to our expectations and being unsurprisingly blind to the quite real power of the Lord and repentance.
Tabi and Julie: will bring this thing on Sunday.
One of the silly women's mags - I think it was Glamour - had an article about pro abortion women who run a clinic, I believe in Pennsylvania, who put up a "grief wall" so that aborting women could express their grief. Of course, they can't explain how a woman could grieve over a "clump of cells". They are trying to coopt our arguments and give it their "I had no other choice" twist when, of course, there are other options. And of course, the stupid magazines such as Glamour fall in line with them.
Obviously, Banned Parenthood (to quote a mutual friend) cares only about the Gloria Steinems and Kate Michelmans of the world who butcher their babies without a shred of remorse; they don't give a rat's tail about the women who DO suffer. Not only do they pretend they don't exist, but they frequently mock them. I remember a post-abortion "speak-out" in which a very brave woman shared her story, which included the horrible experience of rape. A lovely lady passing by on the street retorted, "That's your problem." Compassionate folks, those pro-aborts.
