One man whose wife had an abortion said:
“….the feeling of guilt gnawed away at me, until I had to do what I learned so well in the Army; I hardened my heart and buried my feelings. But I couldn’t keep the lid on them all the time. Just as the buried pain and resentment from my military duty would at times explode like a volcano, so it was with the bitterness about losing the child.”
He broke up with his wife.
“When my wife and I were facing this [decision regarding abortion] we were not getting the facts from the health clinic or the abortion clinic. No one told us that there were long-term effects from abortion. No one told us that many people involved with abortion suffer guilt, depression, and regret long after the abortion itself.”
