Postabortion woman; the last two years of my life have been a nightmare

A woman who had an abortion wrote:

“When I was 18 years old… I had an abortion…and the last two years of my life have been a nightmare… Sometimes I just lie in bed all day long, too depressed to get up. I buy baby clothes and toys. In fact, I have a room full of baby accessories. I see children everywhere I go… I don’t feel any less guilty today (two years later) than the day I had the abortion. My memories haven’t faded… I’ve tried alcohol, drugs and relationships. Nothing will ever take away my loss or the memories, not even for a little while.”
