Re: 9 - Years ago, there was a woman at work who after an abortion, started to talk with her friends asking them to confirm that she had done the right thing. Very awkward. It progressed to the point she was talking in the lunch room about it to people that did not know her well. She left for another job and based on what she posts on Facebook, I’m told she still has some real issues with having an abortion.
She was a good worker and friendly before, but she changed so much. I know, just one data point, but it was sad to see her crash and burn like that.
I have to believe that every woman who made that decision has a life long conviction pain regarding it. Further, I believe that this is the pain which drives them into such an angry outrage in their protests, as they attempt to rationalize the irrational and seek others who will tell them what they long to hear; “it’s ok”. But they will never be convinced. Consumed with guilt and ever seeking release.
A guilty conscience.
Only God can heal this inner wound, but many will not turn to Him.
...that is all
