Don't forget the fathers. There are men out there who helped or encouraged their girlfriends into getting abortions. Many of these men did so at a young age, and their views have changed, today. But these men do experience remorse that lasts for a lifetime.
And often, they suffer in silence, never mentioning this mistake in their past. That gives them no outlet, and I wonder how they deal with it quietly.
It's easy to say that men are stronger and they don't feel things as acutely as women do.
But in this instance, it is probable that the men see this as their abandoment and death of their own child. And they must live with the long-term affects of abortion for the rest of their lives.
I think that's enormously correct.
But you left out men who did NOT want an aortion and had ABSOLUTELY 0.00000% CHOICE in the matter.
Their grief has to be even greater, in some respects, from the frustration and helplessness.
But, yeah, the guilt grief can be intense lifelong.
Good point. Thx.
Great seeing you BTW. God's best to you and yours.
