Millions of women around the world regret their abortions and thousands upon thousands of women have spoken out over the years about their regret. They talk about the mental anguish and spiritual regrets they feel concerning their abortion and their desire to go back and undo their decision.
But one phenomenon is common in many stories about abortion regret: the completely dispassionate way in which abortion facility staff treat what is obviously the destruction of human life and the killing of a tiny baby in an abortion.
Consider this post-abortion story from Rachel, a member of the Silent No More Awareness campaign. In her testimony she describes the stark callousness with which abortion clinic staff treat the unborn child whose life they just took.
I have had two abortions. The first one I was 16 weeks pregnant. My then Husband gave me the choice, him or the baby. I chose him. WRONG CHOICE!
I watched my baby move in my stomach the night before the saline injection, I was told the baby would feel nothing. I was treated as if I had no heart.
The Dr. pulled the baby out and I cried out, he asked me why was I crying?
Then the baby was given to the nurse to place in a clear bag, and I saw the baby. She just stood there like the baby was nothing. I felt empty and unbelief at what I had just done.
When my Husband came to get me I felt the most white hot hatred toward him. I never felt any more love for him and shortly after I divorced him. The second abortion I was newly married (I got pregnant on our Honeymoon.)
Then 12 weeks into my pregnancy my Husband told me I needed to get an abortion. He told me it would cause us to stay in an apartment and never have anything. He also thought that because I had attended my former Husband’s Mother’s funeral that I might have cheated on him and the baby might not be his. He said he believed me that the baby was his, but still wanted the abortion. I was in disbelief. I had told him how the first abortion hurt me, I was in disbelief that I would do it again!
During the abortion I hated myself and I just felt numb. We have not discussed the abortion and my Husband does not have any remorse about the decision we made. We have a son 31 and he has some serious problems and I feel that God is punishing me for my abortions through him. Also, I feel my Daughter would not have had an abortion if I had not had one. I do not remember how she found out. I have felt over the years that I am a heartless murderer that instead of giving up my babies for adoption I just killed them.
I have thought about what they were, what they would have been like. It has been 35 and 32 years now and it still hurts. I haven’t thought of naming them or giving them a memorial or honoring them except through the two programs I have tried to complete. Yesterday I reached out to Silent No More. I was crying and praying to God and he spoke the name Ruth to me, I believe that God was telling me I had a girl and He named her Ruth. The most beautiful thing that has happened to me that has anything to do with my abortions. I Thank God! Maybe this time there will be healing for me.
That's because they genuinely enjoy it.

What the heck did you expect?
At least they didn't celebrate.
What would have been an "appropriate" response?
“She just stood there like the baby was nothing.”
Otherwise they couldn’t sleep at night.
Did she expect juice and cookies afterward? The employees of the abortion industry are heartless monsters, period.
Yeah really.
Congrats bitch, you`re a murderer even if you try rationalize it away.
I can’t think of a sadder story.
Hey Rach you were the one that decided to let the death merchants have your child! And you are appalled? Yea right!
It was nothing to you either!
Some in the human race have developed a deep-rooted disconnect regarding human life. Not other forms of life, just human. That baby was ‘nothing’ because SHE deemed it so, she declared it refuse and something to be discarded like trash-and it was- and she was SURPRISED?? I firmly believe, as a woman, that EVERY woman who chooses abortion should be given her INFANT to dispose of as a human being( if she sees it that way) or discarded as trash by her own hand. She made it- it belongs to her- and she should complete the cycle. It’s a HUMAN BEING! Never in the history of mankind has a human female EVER been pregnant with anything OTHER than a human being. Never will. It has a heart, a face and a life you have to end. It’s a baby, and women who refuse to admit this are monsters.
They received money to kill a stranger.
She paid money to kill her own child.
So who was more cold and callous?
“What would have been an “appropriate” response?”
I don’t know, maybe empathy, understanding, some comfort over the obviously difficult decision she was making.
I think the point here is that the abortion proponents have always talked about the idea of making the procedure “safe, legal and rare”, and people like this lady buy into the idea that those working there do not take any delight in what they’re doing, but rather are performing what amounts to a “necessary evil.” But once they get inside, they learn the truth — that these people are indeed monsters that give no thought to the fact that they are taking the life of another human being.
if liberals truly wanted abortion to be rare, they’d go after abortion like they have big tobacco and guns.
Post abortion guilt is widespread and is not something to be taken lightly.
There is a path back. Check your local Christian pregnancy center for post-abortion counseling.
Its part of their Godless agenda. Despite the hogwash they mouth, the liberals need abortion to retain political power.
Rachel crying for her children, and she will not be comforted.
Exactly. She goes in for two abortions "pressured" upon her by two different husbands and expects some solemn, dignified ceremony?
It's a freakin' abortion, not a baptism!
I didn’t hear her trying to rationalize it away. I pray that she confesses and finds peace.
