I'm very sorry to hear that. From all that I have read and understood, it is an experience that alters a woman's life forever.
I’ve talked with a lot of women who have had abortions and a lot of women who have been raped.
With counseling, rape victims are generally able to recognize that they were victims of a violent crime that wasn’t their fault.
On the other hand, women who have had abortions eventually must face the reality that they were the perpetrators of an act of violence against an innocent baby. They have a much harder time coming to terms with this.
Women who abort children of rape have the hardest time of all because they eventually have to deal with the fact that they took their anger out on an innocent child. Many of these pregnancies come from date rapes where the woman chose not to pursue charges against the rapist and the guilt of that is incredibly difficult for them to deal with.
