| Well obviously even all these later it has effected me emotionally even though I still believe I would make the same choice if I had it to do over again. In my state they dont do them before 8 weeks because I didnt want to wait but that was my only option. I just dont think we should make light of it need to remember and be aware of the cold truth of it so we dont abuse it and maybe sometimes seeing whats really going on in your body may change how you feel about it |
There is no doubt in my mind that many woman regret their decision to abort. I joined a site shortly after my abortion because I had some questions about physical recovery. The site was definitely for woman who needed help mentally dealing with their abortions. Hundreds of woman on the site couldn't even write the word baby! They would write b*** instead. They were devastated by their choice to abort, and I really felt bad for all of them. Obviously these woman didn't make the right choice for themselves. What I found interesting is that most (if not all) of the woman really didn't want to abort in the first place. Most of them mentioned crying and hating themselves before they even went to the clinic to have the procedure!
Sorry this is so long, but my point is that if you really don't want to abort (or you keep questioning your decision), you shouldn't. It has little to do with what the fetus looks like or whether or not you consider the fetus a person or baby. Ultrasound pictures are not going to change anyone's mind. You mentioned "the cold truth" about abortion. These woman knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and knew it wasn't what they really wanted, but did it anyway. Anyone with a computer these days is going to a lot of research before aborting (I know I did), and learn "the cold truth".
By the way, I am one of the many who felt nothing but relief and even happiness when my abortion was over. I have never regretted my decision, and felt no attachment whatsoever to the fetus "baby".
