Pro-Abortion activist Jan Wilberg had an illegal abortion with a wire in 1967. She writes about suffering grief and guilt:
“I grieved and was wild for a full year after that. I broke up with my boyfriend, realizing right away that any man who would advocate the wire wasn’t lifetime commitment material. I drank too much, bounced from guy to guy, and remember not much from that time except long times in the shower crying in grief and guilt. For years, I counted the days and months — how old the child would be if the pregnancy had not been terminated. The guilt was overwhelming. But as I matured, I recognized the decision for what it was, what I believed was right. I accepted responsibility and forgave myself. In the truest terms, I did what I had to do.”

gundog: Yeah, but you're a keeper.
Exactly! He merely "advocated it" (talk is cheap!), while she actually went ahead and did it!
Regards,
I wonder if, in all of her weepy introspection, it ever occurred to her that abortion was a mechanism for the boyfriend to assure that he wasn’t stuck with her for life. We hear s lot about the mother’s convenience being a rationale for abortion. It’s always seemed to me that it was just another way that men avoided responsibility for their actions. And, in typical paternalistic fashion, couch it in terms of female empowerment. Congrats, ladies; you’ve been duped into being a killer, rather than a mother.
“...Very sad, how people can lie to themselves and rationalize what they have done...”
When you have no conscience, you can rationalize anything.
See Nazi Germany, Communist China, Russia, Cuba, Any Other Liberal-socialist Hellhole et al...
Great post.
Yup, shes perfect and rationalization is her best friend.
