I think it was more than that. I think Hildy DOES feel horrible for her decision. When you don't feel bad about it.. you don't stand around stomping your feet about it. You just are ok with it. The emotion and effort to defend your decision wouldn't even be there/here on this forum if she wasn't crying out. This leaves me to believe Hildy is hurting very badly,..but has had to face her decision all these years with a though bravado. She is probably afraid if she started to cry about it..the tears would never stop. I felt that last night..and I feel it again tonight. I wish I could just hold her and let her cry.. and heal. To know she isn't an awful person, and is forgiven if she wants to be. It is so simple..no one wants to believe it can be that simple. That it can be that powerful.. but it is. I'm praying for that for her tonight.. and I will for many nights. I just hope one day I will get a freep mail saying "you'll never guess what"
Hope never dies.. it may change its plans at times.. but it never dies. I have hope that Hildy will come around. But these kinds of wounds make a person strike out..and then they REALLY need the support. I"m here to give it to her if she wants to reach out.. I"m here Hildy... I've known your name for a long time here.. I've always admired you and liked you. So please know I'm sincere, I'm here.

Listen, I believe your sentiments truly come from the heart. But honestly, you don't know me. I am not hurting. One single bit. Honestly. I am not in denial and I am not suppressing. I made my choice and that was that. My point of telling you all about this (and I knew what kind of posts would be coming at me) was to tell you that the argument that women will regret their decision later on in life is simply not true for many women. That's what I testified to. NOTHING ELSE. I am not defending abortion or any such thing. Just that this argument is not a good one to use as the reason to outlaw abortion. Heck, I'm trying to help YOU! I'm not going to say something or shed tears so people can justify their THOUGHTS about something they've never experienced themselves. However, I sure am lucky that so many of the pure ones here on Free Republic are praying for me!
