From one woman who had an abortion:
“I did feel feminists were and are minimizing the sad feelings of having an abortion. Even though mine did not last, they were intense and deserved to be respected – or given attention.”.…
Two years after the abortion, she says, “I wish someone had told me that I would think about it, that I would wonder what that child would’ve looked like, been like.”
It seems like her feelings may have lasted longer than she wants to admit. It’s telling that her fellow “feminists” didn’t want to acknowledge negative feelings about abortion.
