People think an abortion makes their problem disappear, and it does ... physically.
What they don't realize until later down the road of life is that that baby never disappeared. It's still in their soul and their heart. When you realize you are pregnant you have a flood of thoughts, even if you don't want to be a mother, of holding, feeding, rocking this child. Sorry if people don't like to hear it but that's how most women feel.
Like it or not, when you abort you are still a mother, for the rest of your days. You're the mother of a dead baby that was eliminated by your orders.
I have an ex-friend who was a sexual libertine who presented as a free spirit sexually out there and bragged about how many men she'd had (as if that's some kind of achievement).
In the wee hours of the evening when she was sufficiently liquored up she would sob over the abortions she had had in the past, the little boys/girls who may have looked like or been like her current living children.
I believe terminating the life of your own child is a wound that never heals, ever.
I wish I could remember the name of the book someone told me about. But it talked about some of the emotional pain women go through after an abortion. I knew someone who had an abortion in the past, and it took her going to a Christian healing weekend specifically designed for women who had abortions in order to finally find some peace.
It may seem expedient at the time, but there are serious emotional consequences.
