Thanks for sharing this. I'm so ignorant on this subject. I guess it's not like it affects women all the same way. It must take it's toll in different areas of their lives. ??? don't know. I'm only supposing this about my sister. I could be all wrong. Actually, for the most part, my sister is a wonderful mom. She is totally committed to them, she just is so serious and joyless with them.
My friend (the mom) recently told me she had an abortion when she was young, her mom wanted her to have it. This was about 15 years ago. She loves her children, but I noticed that is was hard for her to talk about having an abortion. She called it the "A." Our daughters have been classmates since they were in preschool (now are big, bad first graders ;-). She might be dealing with it in ways I can't see, but I hope she will talk it out if she feels she needs to.
My other friend, the one trying to have a baby, is a friend I've known for many years. She really took it hard. Every year on the anniversary of her baby's due date, she would loose it. She was a mess. God has done a lot in her life and she's doing much better. She recently got married and is hoping for a baby now.
I don't know how anyone can overcome this without God.
