Woman has abortion “because it was important for my life”

Post-abortion woman:

 “I’ve always been pro-choice… If you did the one thing and said, yes, I’m going to go through with this abortion, are you going to feel guilt for the rest of your life? Because I have a lot of nagging thoughts that go on in my head, and this isn’t one of them. I have what I hope is a strong faith in God and I was happy to learn that He, at least in my mind – I really didn’t think that God was going to punish me. And I didn’t have any of those problems that a lot of people say is part of the problem, that this is killing and all that sort of thing. I really felt that God or whatever was as sorry as I was, but that was part of the forgiveness process was forgiveness for yourself. To say, I’m sorry I have to do this to myself, and I don’t have to ask anybody else for forgiveness… I felt that it was okay, I didn’t have any question about being an okay person for making that choice because it was important for my life.”
