Well said. I can’t imagine the pain so many post abortion women feel when they realize that they killed their own baby. I’ve heard testimonies from two of them, one was a grandmother and tears were rolling down her cheeks-the regret never goes away.
Others must deny the truth to keep from facing the horror of what they did.
Well said, NorthstarMom.
I was a witness to a young woman whom I think was confronting for the first time that she had killed her own child. It was in a college beginning biology class, where we watched an amazing film about embryonic/fetal development (somehow, the filmmakers had put cameras into the womb to film the babies, starting within weeks after conception). This one young woman in class watched the film with the most glum look on her face, a look that I had previously seen on the face of a friend whose uncle had just died.
The abortion industry can lie to girls about what is happening during pregnancy, and put an incredible amount of pressure on them to have an abortion without allowing them time to think about it. They use high-pressure sales tactics to encourage young people to have unprotected sex and then have abortions, all while telling them that babies don't exist before birth. But what they cannot do is prevent young people who fall for their tactics from learning the truth. And that truth can be learned at any time. So, post-abortive women must either go into exaggerated denial (sometimes becoming fanatic about pushing abortion), or become depressed--often, they do both.
