I was thinking that also, but the statement "the choice is between life and death" attributed to her sounds more like a moral pronouncement on abortion. Obviously, she is also upset about the physical damage done to her. It mentions that she was never able to have any more children which I am certain is also painful at this time.

"It mentions that she was never able to have any more children which I am certain is also painful at this time."

I'm sure the pain of regret only increased over the years, especially as she got older. She could never take back her decision, and because of it she was never able to change her mind and bear children of her own. I'm very sorry for her.
