How do you know "most women have regrets." In my experience, most women don't.

Actually, it depends on how old the person is whom you ask. As they get older they regret having gotten pregnant and having had an abortion(s). Every year they think of how old that child would be now and how having a son or daughter could not have been such a bad idea. Like I said depends on the age. Most regret it when they are older. The young ones don't know any better and abortion to many is a way of birth control.

Every woman that I have met that has had an abortion has regrets.

Regrets could be what makes such a high proportion of women who have them at a higher risk of suicide.

Your experience (and the experiences of those you know) may change when you come to meet your maker and might be accountable for the killi...er.......aborting of a baby.

I can honestly say that only ONE woman I've spoken with who had an abortion was not remorseful later in life. Only ONE. I've known at least 15 women who had one.

Many of them remarked how back when they had abortions they weren't given the visuals of what a "baby" looked like at the time. Now that they KNOW.. they are deeply remorseful and know it was indeed an innocent child, a helpless child they killed.

I remind them that if they are sorry and ask for forgiveness they are forgiven, but that they should witness to every young woman they can.

The best thing that ever happened was the displays of the SIZE of babies in the womb at county fairs etc. When people are armed with knowledge..they normally make the right decisions.

You have to get into discussions with women to know if they are sorry they did it. Sometimes it takes the right kind of questions to get to the bottom of it all. Why? Because it is human nature to not want to live with guilt. So often times a woman might start off saying she did what she had to do at the time.. but if gently prodded, they will admit it was wrong and if they had known there was HELP out there, that they could have carried the child and given it up or had help raising it they would have kept the child. Not to mention the stigma of being a Mom out of wedlock. We should support courageous actions like carrying a child to term and giving it up for adoption if a person makes the decision to have sex then gets pregnant. It isn't the babies fault.

We need to remind young women today that there are alternatives. That killing an innocent helpless baby is NEVER the answer. That if they find themselves pregnant.. there are religious groups who will help them. That they should INCONVIENENCE themselves for 10 months and then give LIFE. Many times a family member would even be willing to adopt the child. But there are ALWAYS alternatives to killing a baby.. always.

I can assure you.. not only did I know the 15 personal friends,.. but having worked in maternity and ObGyn I saw the grief and guilt firsthand.

Abortion is most likely one of those "coarsening" events. Rather than feel regret, these women simply become hard. No doubt that transfers over into their other relationships, e.g. with spouses, with friends, with other children.

High divorce rate and child abuse are undoubtedly derivative of the culture of death fomented by the abortion rights crowd.

These people are like AlQaida terrorists and in the end we will undoubtedly have to take very strong action against them to get our society back to a normal state.

In my experience, most women DEFINITELY do.

What's your "experience"?
What means "most"?

Beside the documentation that I've seen which validates the mental impact of abortion, I'll cite 2 personal references.
1970's
2 women, each athiest/agnostic friends, pregnant by other men, came to me for pre/post abortion support.
Both very upset and remorseful about the abortion and acknowledging they'd killed their baby.
One women couldn't travel in that part of the adjacent town without reliving the horrific sound of the suction machine and the image that created for her.
They have both thanked me for my non-critcal support at the time.
