From a woman who aborted after becoming pregnant in an abusive relationship:
“Having the abortion was very traumatic for me.
It is against everything I believe in.
I didn’t even give myself a chance to recover, I just carried on with my life as if nothing had happened.
I feel so guilty about doing this and I cannot get it out of my head.
In spite of the baby being this man’s, it was also part of me.
I feel so guilty and depressed. I cannot sleep or eat and I have completely withdrawn from family and friends.
I put on a brave face for everyone at work but I don’t think I can cope anymore.
I don’t know whether I can ever forgive myself.”

It is very sad when a lady gets an abortion.
The ultimate choice ia the ladies choice, that she should. Never be forced
To have an abortion, all,her choice,.
I feel compassion for the ladies getting a abortion. Their choice. And they live w the painful consequences for life, regret.
These stories of the women having abortions I think is very sad. Life is life and it is precious. The woman women making these choices have to live with the regrets and feeling deep guilt, a few don’t seem to care. They do not have regrets the few who went thru the abortions.
I feel I feel compassion for the women who have deep regret going thru the abortions,.
The bottom line, women should make these critical choice w a counselor not alone. And the women I think should never never forced to have a abortion by anyone.
