Abortion is a mistake and no lady can turn back the clock

A baby is an innocent one that deserves to live. Many ladies that have an abortion are mixed up by hormonal changes during pregnancy. They regret having their abortion afterwards. They would know what their due date would have been. Every year they might think that baby would have been born then and how old he or she would be. Some ladies that have an abortion get really depressed. My friend had an abortion in 1992. She had been dating a really rough guy. She waited until 18 weeks pregnancy to have her baby aborted. Every year she thinks of her baby that she chose to die before he or she was born. He or she would now be seventeen years old. Few teenagers choose to get pregnant and if they have an abortion they can regret it when they are older. What do you think?

I always say this in response to your discussions about abortion but, I really do think the choice should be there for women and I honestly believe many women also don't regret it and do not think about the unborn child. Yes I do think many are effected for years after and maybe they are the ones who shouldn't have gone through with the abortion but, I also believe their is the other side of the coin that there are women who don't regret it and that is why there should be that option for them.

Yes, i think that abortion is the biggest mistake anyone can commit. Once, you've committed abortion there is no turning back, no matter how much you regret it. Nothing can ever get it undone and i think it will be on your consience for the rest of your life.

If a lady adopts her child she will know that he or she is alive and is hopefully having a happy life. If she aborts her baby he or she is taken from the world forever. Few ladies about have an abortion imagine the possible regret afterwards.

I think you have started a subject here which is very controversial and will never have a majority view either way, People usually feel strongly about abortion whether it is for or against. And you will never reach a final conclusion on this subject. As far as I am concerned I dont disagree with abortion but I dont think it would be an option for myself. I would never condem a woman for chosing to have a termination though as at the end of the day it is her desicion and hers alone, and only she can deal with the aftermath of feelings she will experience. I dont think it is anybodys place to judge another for a decision which is legal, although you may or may not think it is immoral at the end of the day it is not your choice to make and you dont deal with the consequences.

I respect your feelings. I like to discuss abortion so to make people think about the issue of whether it is right or wrong for them. I know that my friend really regrets the abortion she had when she was 20 years old. I would advise any lady that has an unwanted pregnancy to think carefully. I wouldn't judge a woman because she has had an abortion. One lady did have an abortion and she responded to one of my discussions. She didn't regret having her abortion and she got pregnant with that baby during a difficult point in her life. The fact is her life is so much better these days. Times do change you see.

I do agree with you that many women have regrets and also that no one can turn back the clock. I don't believe that it's a simple decision to make nor one that can be blamed entirely on hormones. No one can walk in anyone else's shoes but, yes, I'm sure that there are regrets for many.

Yes, one of my friends is a does counseling to people that are very depressed. She attempts to get to the bottom of why they are so depressed. She has found that it was abortion for many ladies that come to see her.

Many times, women who opt to have an abortion do end up regretting it later on, but not all women do. I think that it is a personal choice and although I could not personally have an abortion, some women choose to for reasons that involve health. I imagine that even these women think about the baby they aborted yeaars after it was done, but do they really regret it, or just wonder? I know two women who had abortions and it was a hard decision for both of them. Do they regret their decision? I can't say, but I do know that they think about those babies. I think that having an abortion just because they became pregnant after fooling around is wrong; if you are old enough to play, you have to face the consequences and of you do not want a child, you should be responsible enough to take precautions. On the other hand, some women are raped and some do take precautions and end up pregnant as a result. Some become pregnant only to find out that their own life or the baby's life are in jeopardy due to the pregnancy. Do these women truly regret the choice to have an abortion?
