Man Reveals His Postabortion Grief

A man who identifies himself only as Ryan says the following:

“I didn’t think of the baby… Not really. Not then. I was in a panic and I wanted out and that was the way I was playing it.

I don’t remember how I finally changed her mind – it took about a week, but I did it. I remember being with her at the clinic, with one of her friends, smoking outside and then driving home thinking, “Thank God it’s over!”

The child would be about 13 or 14 years old now. When I look at our two children, I know there’s supposed to be three. I don’t know if the baby was a boy or a girl. I keep thinking it was a girl, probably because my wife wanted one so badly. Although I still struggle with depression and guilt, I eventually found forgiveness. My wife is not ready to take that step. So I must continue to try and help her bear the burden and make up for the crucial time I failed her.”
