Abortion Debate

One of the least known consequences of having an abortion is the regret, sadness and depression that many women feel afterward.  These feelings can last a lifetime.  Here are some of their stories:

Really? In my own experience, 80% are quite content with the choice they made to abort. I'll have to send them the memo.

Also- anti-choice feminists is a total oxymoron, IMNSHO.

I'm sure that there are plenty of women who made the choice to abort and later came to regret that decision.  That is very sad when women have to deal with feelings like that.

There are just as many women, if not more, who make the decision to abort and are always very secure in that decision.  They never come to regret the decision they made.  This is because they carefully thought about their choices and made an educated decision about what was best for them at the time.  There is nothing wrong with that.

It's just like anything else in life where sometimes people make good decisions and are fine with them, and sometimes people make bad decisions and regret them.  It's all part of this roller coaster we call "life".

Welcome to the board :)

I've no doubt that some women regret having aborted, just as some regret raising children, or regret placing a child for adoption, etc.. Some also regret having been on hormonal birth control (which also can end "life").

I hope that you stick around, share your stance with us, participate in the threads, etc. :)

There's a word missing in the title. Some. As in 'SOME women regret abortion forever'.

There are also plenty who forever after think it was the right decision to make.
