I have a Catholic Priest friend who has taken upon himself the mission to consul the women victims of abortion.

He describes these women as uniformly psychologically damaged, some near suicide, all having problems forming and maintaining other human relationships.

I’d bet that she has those thoughts more often and does not realize that they are grief.She probably drinks a lot to make them go away.....

There are reasons why "Xanax" (and others) are a drug of choice among women.

IMHO, it's one thing to have an abortion. It's certainly not for me, or Mrs WBill. However, the author did it, it's done, and now she needs to reconcile herself to what she did.

It's quite another thing, IMO, to stand up and announce loudly in a public forum that you not only did such a thing, but also don't regret it a bit. "Sociopath" comes to my mind, immediately.

Guilt and envy are two of the most powerful emotions we know.

I know several women who had abortions in their 20’s (it was “inconvenient”, “a mistake” etc)

They are now past childbearing age, and I sense in them two emotions: guilt, that they have now realized they did something wrong; and envy, because they see their friends who had all the children they wanted and did not abort any, enjoying their lives with the little ones.

In the end, most of us cannot leave anything past our graves, except our posterity... that is, our children and grandchildren.

Let me immediately amend my post to say "reasons why "Xanax" (and others) are a drug of choice among SOME women. "

Baaaaad typo.

Prisons are full of people without remorse. How wonderful.

And the legal option of aborting breeds sociopaths, also known as feminists.

it would always be safe because I was in charge

Ironic phrasing since she spent the control she had on murdering the child.

I know many women who have grieved greatly over the children they decided not to have, and I am thankful to have been spared that agonizing sadness of guilt and regret.

To be grateful for the abscence of a conscience? Odd, but it does help one to do immoral things without that pesky thing called guilt.

I also know many women who, like me, have felt only gratitude and relief at having been able to take control over their lives safely and legally.

One can be certain the unborn children feel no gratitude and relief when the abortionist is "taking control" of their lives on the operating table. It's only "safe" for the person not being killed. Two people enter a clinic, and one person comes out.

I’m always amazed by the rationalization that the child in the womb is not “in the world.” Where is the mother’s womb? Outerspace?

I remember a few years ago hearing that breast cancer had been associated with abortion. Has that been found to be untrue, because I haven’t heard it mentioned lately.

You haven't heard it lately because it is true.

Her other children must feel special, since they escaped the scalpel. But loved? Perhaps not.

Too bad her mother didn’t abort her. She’s obviously a mentally defective, child-killing, mean-spirited, murdering monster that thinks nothing of killing children.
