This bothers me too. Any woman who claims that she did not think that killing her unborn baby would not cause emotional or mental problems is either full of crap, or is just plain stupid for listening to NOW, PP and others who say there is nothing "wrong" with abortions. I have no sympathy for their "emotions". This is common sense - Killing your own child SHOULD screw you up in the head, unless you were already screwed up to begin with.
Here's the deal. When one is sold on the lies that it's nothing more than "tissue" by so-called authorities ("medical experts," the Supreme Court, and those who claim to care for and fight for womens' rights,) and told "you may be sad for a little while afterwards but then it passes," long-term consequences doesn't seem to be an issue. Once the truth slams you in the face, it's a whole different story - and also too late. And for others, common sense flies right out the window when they're being forced so to speak by parents, boyfriends or employers. They may desperately want the baby but are finding no support from anyone to have the child, they only receive pressure from those who wants the "problem" taken care of right now.
Once faced with the truth, the woman needs a chance to grieve and deal with the terrible guilt and shame. Unfortunately, society doesn't allow this. Either it's something they shouldn't have any reason to be bothered by it in the first place (because it's just tissue, don't you know?) or the severe judgementalism and condemnation from others increases their resolve to keep "the dirty secret" to themselves. Why listen to others label you a murderer when you already consider yourself one?
Thankfully, there's a God Who will forgive those broken by their past and very willing to help them come to terms with their decisions. These folks could be one of the biggest advocates to turning Roe v Wade around - if given the support to do so. But in the meantime, choices, good or bad, follows you throughout your lifetime. The emotions from reoccuring memories need to be released or the psychological problems flare up over and over again. I pray people will find more patience and understanding for those who wish they could go back and do things differently.
