But not nearly as much as it hurts the aborted.
My Dad passed on May 1st this year. A good, long life of honor and sharing of blessings. At 87, he left 7 children, 21 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
He worked faithfully for the cause of the unborn for many years and one of the single most important comments made by his long-term priest and friend at his Burial Mass was how many of those children would be there to welcome him. A humbling thought for me.
“A majority of those surveyed also believe that abortion hurts women.”
“But not nearly as much as it hurts the aborted.”
True, but it is important to point out that the woman does not come out of the procedure unscathed. If physical damage isn’t enough, there seems to be lifelong guilt associated with the choice to abort.
You might notice that the media never miss an opportunity to portray child birth as the most excruciating pain that a woman can bear. It is time that physical, mental and emotional toll of the choice to abort are discussed.
