Following are the words of a woman who had an abortion: Quote “After the abortion, I felt dirty, ashamed, like a low ant below all else. I felt betrayed, like a betrayer. I sat in the rain the rest of the day, occasionally walking, crying, and not knowing why I really had the abortion.” End of quote.

There is nothing sinister or evil about allowing people this right. The Bible can be interpreted in many different ways. If one Christian's views do not concur with yours, this does not mean they are not a true Christian. I do, however, think it would be very unfortunate for the 'moderator' of this forum to delete this post because it disa...

Part One of Two The title of the January 21 cover story in the New York Times Magazine, "Is there a Post-Abortion Syndrome?" suggests the article will address the strength of the available scientific evidence on the topic, which has obvious bearing on recent and future legislation. Instead, what Emily Bazelon , granddaughter of pro-abortion judge David L. Bazelon and the cousin of pro-abortion feminist Betty Friedan , offers is an unconvincing circuitous voyage around the recent and rapidly accumulating scientific evidence that clearly show the negative psychological consequences of abortion.
