A friend theorizes that part of the ongoing public support for abortion has to do with suppressed guilt among women who have had abortions.

So true. As a woman, and among women I know/knew (esp in college), their pro-abortion stance seemed directly related in verocity to the number of abortions they had (and sometimes proudly announced) and the guilt and anger they seemed to harbor. Misery does love company.

Should abortion become illegal, these women would have to face the fact that they committed infanticide. That dreaded prospect keeps them supporting abortion, even though many, in their heart of hearts, may know it's wrong.

So true - a fact many already know, just don't like to admit. If it became illegal, they would have to face it in a new way, and for some, a public way. And it amazes me sometimes, as with a late coworker of mine, that even though they feel this guilt and misery and know they ended a life, they rush headlong into making sure more women follow their miserable lead.
