I think you're wrong. And I know from experience.

Hildy,

I have to agree with texbubba. I have known many women who have had them, and many claiming to still be pro-choice. They still have severe regrets about what they did. I don't know anyone who isn't ashamed about it, no matter how pro-choice they pretend to be.

I only know from my own experience, and I disagree.

Disagree. I worked in clinics too - the shame and guilt was unreal. I also have family members (two) who did this and have NEVER gotten over it.........

I won't say your wrong, but I do tend to agree with TXBubba and on another poster that describes working in a Crisis Pregnancy Center and women admitting that if it is soooo right then why can't they talk about it. My gosh that is too close to home. I can identify with what both say. I can identify with what you say also because for years I convinced myself that what was done was MY RIGHTFUL CHOICE, that was in 1975 and I was only 17. But my actions proved otherwise.

I led a bitter and hateful life for years, but hey it was MY CHOICE. I almost lost the man I married because I was so convinced that I WAS ABOVE IT ALL and ME, ME ME. We married and there was no way in heck i was every gonna have kids, not me, no way. We finally had our first child in 1988, I was 31, and I soon understood what I had really and truly done. It was devastating to me, this GIFT FROM GOD was proof of his GRACE and his total LOVE for me, and I didn't deserve it, not after what I had done. I know now that with my repentence he has forgiven. But for years I was a fool, I was self centered.

My son is now going on 15 and heading for those same temptations and now I struggle whether to tell him or not. This is something that my husband and I will have to talk about, he knows but whether to tell our children or not is the next struggle we have.

know this may be too much info, but I just want to give my testimony of what so many others are probably going to encounter if they make that decision. It may not effect them the day after or a month later, or a year later, but IT will come back to haunt sooner or later, and if not that I believe is very rare. Because even in my ME WORLD, I NEVER FORGOT.
