Mademoiselle, which is not known to be a pro-life magazine, describes a woman’s reaction to her abortion. This particular woman feels that the abortion was the best thing she could have done, but she still suffers emotionally.
“At first, physical sensations overpowered her emotions; soon, however, her emotions came up. Even today, nearly two years later, she says she still thinks about what happened. A lot. She knows she did the right thing. But now, as she did that day riding home with her lover, she feels an ache that is not physical but emotional, as if there were some part of the process left undone.”
