Has anyone ever heard a woman say “I sure am glad I got that abortion”?

The very few I know who have always seem to have a little ‘pang’ every year, or so and wonder what he’d be doing now.
 
If a woman does not feel anything following the abortion of her child regardless of her Religion or lack there of, has to be devoid of any human emotions. It doesn’t matter if her “belief” is that it is a blob of tissue at the point of the abortion, that blob of tissue or medical waste (as they call it) would have developed into a baby in a few short months.

Sadly, yes I have. These women are devoid of human emotions and believe that they did the right thing because “it would have ruined their lives” (they apparently did not think of their child’s life they just ruined)

She wont feel depression or guilt becuase she does not view it as a human…that is the point I was trying to make.
The cognitive component is only one part of what goes wrong during an abortion.

There are hormonal changes which throw virtually everything askew. Some believe this is a major cause of breast cancer. It is certainly a cause of depression.

** Or as someone else has stated they are just cold hearted and do not care**
 
Must be just me, but how can a women not be emotional and be so cold-hearted after an abortion? You feel all the physical after-effects as if you had just given birth, yet you don’t have anything to show for it. :confused:
 
Maternal instinct is a very powerful thing. Women are naturally predisposed to die to protect the children they bear.

To kill a baby in the womb is like a women trying to become an un-women. There will be life long emotional damage any way you look at it.

Be it depression or drugs or alcohol or abuse patterns of a million types. Deep down we all know (Christian and atheist alike) that getting an abortion is the same thing as walking into a nursery with an assault shotgun.

Very strong point Darrel, imagine the horror of a person with an assault rifle inside inside a newborn nursey, the out cry, the screams, the tears that would be shed, the horrific loss of new lives. afterwards news reports of the people demanding of that this person be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Then walk down the hall, babies are being killed left and right by their own mothers that sign their death warrant and nobody says a thing, its accepted. It’s a “Mother’s Right” One final point—in the very end when all said and done, what’s the difference between the two? Either way children are dead at the hands of adults.:hmmm:
 
If there is no depressive effect, why so many women turning to Project Rachel?

I have no doubt there is some bias in this study, somehow, somewhere.
 
While I doubt the veracity fo the study as it is counter-intuitive as well as so much anecdotal evidence saying otherwise, I do think there is a valid point here.

I have never been comfortable with all of the tangential arguments (despite personally agreeing with most of them) for outlawing abortion except the primary one- it is the killing of another human being. This is the only argument for which there is no real counter-argument (or at least of diminishing veracity). When Roe v. Wade was decreed, there was conflicting scientific arguments about when it becomes human (quickening, ability to feel pain, viability). However, as scientific information has become available in the past three decades (especially the information regarding DNA/RNA and the Human Genome Project), the argument that it isn’t human at conception is harder to deny.

All the other arguments open up counter-arguments of woman’s undue burden to bear a child to term, morality/religion, etc. These are areas which people are bound to have differences. However, once we get people to admit it is human life, the debate will now be fought entirely on our turf- Government has a legitimate right (in fact obligation if the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence (Right to Life, Liberty . . .) and Constitution (secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity . . . ) means anything) to protect life, especially defenseless life.
