From a letter to the editor by a woman who regrets her abortion:
“I am 34, married seven years. I had an abortion not quite four years ago. The pain of the knowledge of what I did is permanent, deep, and fresh again when I least expect it. A word about a child, Mother’s Day, a song – can literally rip me apart. There is never any warning. In the middle of the happiest moments, something will trigger sadness for my action.
I can’t make you feel how I feel or how I felt. I would be writing for hours. Even if I talk to you, you could not know the pain I’ve set myself up for. It’s not just babies that abortion kills. It’s mothers too.”
Reprinted in “Mother Is the Other Victim of Abortion” The National Right to Life News, December 22, 1983, 10
