Most of the women who are so affected by the aftermath of an abortion are affected from an outside source (guilt from religious belief's or people telling them they are murders, sinners, ect...) rather than internally.
I guess if you've never had an abortion, you would not know for sure though, right?
Well you do not get a practice run, it is a life altering experience

I think having a baby is a life altering experience.
I don't judge those who choose to have an abortion(for whatever reason), nor do I judge those who sit pregnant and alone out of wedlock. These women need our love and compassion more than our judgements and criticisms. You would think "Christians" could relate to compassion, but judgement seems to prevail on this topic, the scarlet letter comes to mind.
So you speak from experience of having an abortion or counseled women who have had abortions?
I can tell you for a fact that not everyone automatically carries the "inner torment" which you speak of.
It is called Post traumatic syndrome (PAS) or AKA PTSD Post Traumatic stress disorder........There are clinics for woman and men who have gone thru abortions, there is help.
Here is a link for help.http://www.abortionrecovery.org/
It is Christian based, and not judgmental showing love and compassion for the women who has had an abortion or spouse, or man in her life as well for the family.

Well not everyone who has an abortion gets PTS, but it is good to know that there are support groups out there for people who need it.
Most of my friends that are anti abortion are also anti welfare Republicans. "I'm tired of my taxes going to feed all these lazy people" is what they say. So you insist on women bringing kids into the world that they cant take care of and yet you dont want your taxes spent to feed, house or give them medical care? Hmmm. You cant have it both ways people! So all you anti abortionists should step up right now and ADOPT these kids that you insist be born!
I am a child of a woman that chose a baby over her own life. If I were pregnant and someone caused me to lose the baby because they caused harm to me, they would be charged with murder, so why should the mother have the right to choose if that innocent child lives or dies. Keep your legs closed or get on birth control and it won't ever be an issue.
A life is a life. If you love your life and you are thankful your mother did not choose to kill you then any woman should have the same respect for the child she is carrying wanted or not. Give the child to someone that can not have one but actually wants one.
Yes of course you have choices, free will gives us that ability. I do support abortion as I have said it numerous times before. One can only make choices when they have walked in another's shoes. I do not judge women who choose to have an abortion, nor do I judge you for being pro life.
We judge people everyday on the news or in the court system. This is a moral question. It is either right or wrong, no such thing as compromise or finding middle ground, which is absolutely rediculous!
The questions isn't what you or anybody else including me thinks. The question is what does God think?
I ask you, what do you believe in his words from the bible. Does God think abortion is wrong?
