My grandmother died 20 years ago, in her late 80’s. She confessed to me that she had had an abortion in between her two kids (my mom and her brother). My g’pa was gone to Mexico as a reporter for the Mexican Revolution (1920s), she thot he might not return. They put some sort of electrical gadget over her belly.

She was tormented by it all these years.

My aunt died of inoperable cancer in her late 70s. In her last few days, when the pain got unbearably severe, she was administered a morphine drip. When it first started, she began sobbing inconsolably; my mother (her older sister) ordered us out of the room. Later Mom told us she had had an abortion at age 19; she had ghastly visions of her little girl calling to her from an uncovered grave. Her husband had returned from WW2 sterile - she was childless.
