The anti-abortion crowd only needs to keep repeating that abortion is the killing of a child that otherwise would be, and that any mother who proceeds with an abortion, that is not directly threatening her own life, will at some point in time be regretful of her decision if she has any conscious at all.

How can a mother forget her baby? She either asks forgiveness and eventually heals post-abortion, or she goes into denial regarding the aftermath of her child's bloodbath, becomes harsh, embittered and lifeless herself. While the lost child of abortion is cared for by God, the pain of abortion for its mother lasts her lifetime. In addition to the senseless loss of an innocent baby's life, that's why abortion must cease and desist. Abortion hurts women. (And it hurts men too!)

"Abortion Trauma and Child Abuse" by Theresa Karminski Burke, Ph.D., & David C. Reardon, Ph.D.
"...Her destructive thoughts were like starving rabid animals, hounding, scratching, and gnawing at her conscience. They left her feeling bewildered, feeling crazy, and ashamed. She desperately yearned to silence these dangerous beasts in her mind."

I respectfully disagree. I think more can and should be done.

“How can a mother forget her baby?”

We read stories of how mothers murder their babies AFTER they’ve been born, e.g., shaken-baby syndrome. As a society, I think we’ve reached the point where abortion is viewed as morally equivalent to lancing a boil.

“She either asks forgiveness and eventually heals post-abortion, or she goes into denial regarding the aftermath of her child’s bloodbath, becomes harsh, embittered and lifeless herself. While the lost child of abortion is cared for by God, the pain of abortion for its mother lasts her lifetime. In addition to the senseless loss of an innocent baby’s life, that’s why abortion must cease and desist. Abortion hurts women. (And it hurts men too!)”

I hope we can respectfully disagree on this. Not that I don’t wish you were right; but I have a different view.
