Very sad, how people can lie to themselves and rationalize what they have done so they can escape from their pain and the guilt. Even sadder to keep their pain & guilt at bay they encourage others to choose abortion. They must pretending as hard as they can that abortion was a moral choice so that they may fool themselves as well. The pressure of that suppressed anguish demonstrated by the irrational vehemence and intransigence they exhibit.

The path toward healing and the moral choice is to instead accept that it was a horrible thing to do but also understand that people can be forgiven if they accept their guilt and try to atone by doing good and bearing witness.

Doing good deeds such as helping other women not make that terrible choice, telling them how you were affected and working to give them other options and the strength to make a better choice.

That is exactly why the most rabid abortion promoters advocate abortion. In their inner narrative, abortion cannot be as horrific as they know it is if millions of other women are also using it for birth control.

Of course, they would be far less insufferable if they would use their own experience to warn young women of the ongoing pain and guilt they are likely to feel if they fall into the trap of believing that they have a right to irresponsibly conceive children that they intend to kill.

Criticisms about the pain and guilt of repentence damages the opinion of those that might find hope in Christ, but won't even try because well .... what's the use .... no one's gonn'a love me anyway.

Repent, son.

Accept my apologies ....

My comment is correct, but I should have read the article first.

As a born again Christian, I KNOW the peace that salvation brings, in real time, for the waste of flesh I used to be.

EVERY born again Christian knows and understands true forgiveness AND forgetfulness.

When you have no conscience, you can rationalize anything.
