Every human has it written into their very being that this is wrong.

When their conscience starts nagging them, they go one of two routes - repentence and remorse, or defiance and lifelong justification.

In any area and at any stage of our lives, rationalizing and defending our sins will almost always cause us more grief than the sin itself.

Sad but true. The price is paid by the mothers and children for SCOTUS’ moral ‘justifying.’

She will have to face herself some day and when she does it will be with self-loathing like nothing she can imagine.

I believe it is impossible to have an abortion and not be riddled with deep and profound heartache. I believe the SCOTUS upholding Roe v. Wade was a horror to all women and their unborn babies.

Agreed. I suspect that it is a feeling that never goes away. These women have my sympathy for that reason, because it is something they can never take back, something that is often done by young women who may have been brainwashed by others.

Abortion is also something that seemingly has nothing to do with men.

Thank feminism for that one, dearie.

While the author is to be commended for her candidness, it ought to be obvious that NO MENTION WHATSOEVER was made regarding chastity and waiting for marriage. Then all the heartache of the other 99% would simply disappear into nothing.

It’s called a blighted ovum.

By the way, you are definitely pregnant. It’s horrible because you still get all the hormones, put on weight, swollen boobs.

I was 10 weeks along on one of them, and I had to have a D&C.

You think you are going to have a baby, then they look at the ultrasound and there isn’t anything in the gestational sac. Then I had to have a darn D&C because my body wasn’t naturally taking care of things, and there can be complications if you let it stay in your uterus. It was a very awful time for me.

Yeah during the roman times They had a Phrase called “PATER FAMILIA” where the Father Got to decide if a Baby could Live or die for entry into his Family.. Civilization Called That Barbaric..

Today we have “Mater Familia” only the Mother Could decide the Baby’s Fate.. Thumbs up or Thumbs down!

I highly recommend a by called “Forbidden Grief” by Theresa Burke with David C. Reardon.

It speaks of the trauma associated with abortion which is something the MSM and feminazi’s NEVER, EVER mention.

I thank God that abortion is something I never experienced and that God set me straight on that is wrong, wrong, wrong (even in cases of rape and abortion).
