It’s the man’s job to take care of the pregnant woman and child. Why are men made stronger and more analytical? It’s to perform a role, a function, same as women who connect with thier young children in a way that no man does (the flip side of being analytical I think). The men, many of them anyway, now know that they failed as men when they didn’t do everything they could to save the baby and protect and help the woman so she wasn’t led into killing their child. So there is a lot of grief, especially when the men realize the world lied to them when they were told over and over and over that abortion is no big deal, ok, just a fetus, etc.
Many of the male callers were probably even relieved by the abortion at the time, such an easy solution, only to realize years and years later that they killed their own child.
How many men and women aborted only to never find “Mr. or Miss Right” and are left with no one but a bunch of colleagues at work and sordid memories . . .

My son was profoundly affected by what he heard.
We had told him that sex outside marriage has consequences, but this drove it home.
He barely dates now, and keeps things friendly and light because he knows he’s not ready for marriage.
