Sorry, this is wrong. Those women knew (or should have known) the consequences of their actions!! If they have "psychological" injury as a result of murdering their child, then that's something they will have to live with!! When you do the wrong thing, you can't get compensated for it.Speaking from personal experience, a woman does NOT know the potential psychological injury of abortion (nor are they helped, even when they ask for it). I received complete silence from my "counselor" when I questioned adoption as a potential avenue and I was told on the day of the abortion only one thing, "most women feel relief." After 32 years, I'm STILL waiting for that relief. No, the mother is a victim right along with the child, and Planned Parenthood well knows this. This is an outstanding law! I only wish I could "collect" on it myself. And so does my child in heaven ...
If women were given all the objective facts about abortion, I doubt many would choose it. Some are at the clinic because they are appalled and embarrassed that they are pregnant in this day and age. They’re worried everyone they know will think they’re stupid. They need to be counseled on ways to tell family and friends of their mistake. They need information on the physical and psychological consequences they will endure and the increased risk for certain illnesses, if they proceed. They need to be told what their baby at this stage of its development is actually like, what it can do, and what it can feel. They need to hear the stories of women who’ve made the various choices, pro and con. Finally, they need to be handed a sensitive pamphlet from their particular religion, telling them what that religion thinks of abortion.
If all those things happened, I doubt many women would choose abortion. They are caught in a moment of fear and weakness. We should help them through it. Since most women who choose abortion are NOT this informed and are blinded by their doubts and fears, I think we can say, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
