I don’t care what any woman says, any woman who has an abortion will spend the rest of their lives regretting it, or at least questioning themselves about it.
I agree. A person cannot be unaffected by killing her child. It’s part of the same mindset that insists the sexual encounters that produce the unwanted babies are also as meaningless as a trip to Walmart.
Yes, the “studies” are desperate to refute it, but I think you are right. I have heard several women say that the date of a birth that never happened is indelibly etched on their souls and not a year goes by that they don’t pause to remember and probably a lot of days in between are painful, too. The ones I knew were all too young at the time to understand the implications of what they did and under too much pressure from the adults around them. It is so wrong. Their stories need to be told and the ugliness of feticide revealed.
I also agree with quite a few other freepers here that this story is all about the woman and what she now feels deprived of rather than the two human beings that were denied a right to life due directly to her actions. Where is her remorse for them? Something is wrong here. There should be more to the regrets than mourning that you are growing old without heirs or anyone to take care of you. I suspect that it was heavily edited to not reveal the moral struggle.
I don’t think most who abort think about it at all: it’s just their way of “taking care of a problem” as they see it. Many rejoice at their decision. Many make the same choices repeatedly.
