From a Muslim woman who regretted her two abortions:
I didnt want to have the abortion. My daughter was now three years old and I felt ready for another child. He was absolutely certain that he didnt want another child. He had two; that was all he wanted. Our relationship was bad. I didnt want sex; he wanted it..
I played courageous and went and had the abortion. I was trying to save my pride and had the abortion in a very angry state. I didnt have time to dig too deeply into my feelings. Later on I felt that I had been stupid. It was my right to have the baby. It was more part of me than him. If he can make a decision that he doesnt want a child, than I can make a decision that I do want it.
Now, eight months after the first abortion in the US I was to have another. My husband did try to be kind, but it didnt help. I was deeply scarred from the first abortion and all the conflict over contraception
Now if the situation were to be mentioned, he would say that it was my decision. He would deny responsibility for the decisions to have the abortions. He might say it was our decision, but more mine its as if he would try to block it from his mind. We have never really talked about it, but I think thats what hed say
As Muslims we had no particular religious conflicts regarding the abortions. I was educated religiously that up until 120 days the fetus has no soul that youre not dealing with a human being up to that point. My conflict about having the abortions stemmed from my feminine, maternal instinct, not from my religion. I felt grief and loss, not guilt.

“As Muslims we had no particular religious conflicts regarding the abortions. I was educated religiously that up until 120 days the fetus has no soul that youre not dealing with a human being up to that point. ”
I did not know that. It explains a lot.
They blow up so fast anyway.....
I try to explain that their rules are riddled with escape clauses.
I try.
The best one I heard was in the Army before going to ‘stan from a muslim doing a “cultural training” before deployment. He went: “in islam only the first sip of alcohol is sinful, after that it is not on you, you can get drunk”
and everything else is like that.
One day Mohammed wanted to screw his son’s wife. He became obsessed with it. He went to his wife Aisha to explain all kinds of BS to her how God just told him it was OK in this case. She replied: “Mohammed, there is nothing that your God does not allow you to do!!”
Basically it is witchcraft
So she feels guilt because of hormones and not over moral failure.
Probably pretty typical.
It’s a wonder that any Muslim kid survives at all...in one piece.
“Basically it is witchcraft”
More like the “wishcraft” of a 7th century murdering psychopath/megalomaniac.
