Voices of Women
I'm often haunted by the testimonies of women who have had abortions. It doesn't matter if the woman regrets her abortion or not; I'm still haunted. I fail to understand how - after hearing any woman's abortion testimony - anyone could say abortion is A) a "good" thing for woman or B) abortion has a minimal impact on women emotionally or psychologically .
Today, I came across this collection of stories printed in the London Daily Mail. These are the stories of post-abortive British women. Their situations, lives, ages, reactions are all different but one thing is consistent - abortion greatly impacted their lives.
I've come to the conclusion that for every physical death caused by an abortion there are multiple emotional deaths. Part of the mother dies, the father, extended family and friends. So many people are impacted. Yet, in the U.S., we continue to ignore this growing reality.
