From a counselor in an abortion clinic:
“Abortion is very emotional for everyone. The women think, let’s get it over with fast. They don’t open up in counseling as they should… So the trouble doesn’t come out till afterwards and they just keep it all in. Postabortion counseling doesn’t do any good either, because if the woman has any regrets, admitting it will feed her guilt feelings even more…”
