[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Abortion when I was 27 that was the best decision for me and only two friends and the guy know. My current Dh does not know and he does not need to know. Most women who are alraedy well adjusted do not regret their choices and move on just fine.

“Well adjusted”? Wtf, no.

You can have made that choice and still have regret. Glad it was straightforward for you but it’s not for many and it has nothing to do with them being “well adjusted.”

+1000000 It has nothing to do with being well-adjusted.  I would hope than any woman recognizes that it is a major decision and feeling conflicted is normal.  if you are so well-adjusted and fine with it, why doesn't your DH know?  [/quote]

It's only a major decision because religious and patriarchal types have hyped it up as murder. There's no such thing as a soul, and a blastocyst isn't a child. I don't know if being conflicted over the issue has anything to do with being "well-adjusted." But it has a lot to do with the overwrought fictions created and promoted by social conservatives.

Stop it. I’m extremely pro-choice but when the pro-choice side gets into this rhetoric is when they lose me.  You’re being as bad as the strident pro-lifers.

It’s totally fine to have conflicted feelings, not everyone who is conflicted and sad is that way bc of souls, or murder, or whatever.  Simply because of the loss of what might have been and what could have been.  The path not taken can be emotional when it’s just about a job, a relationship, etc.  but when it’s about actual human life it can be profound.

I can tell you I never felt sadness, conflict, regret or anything negative about my experience, until I was finally a parent and then once my brain chemistry changed, it hit me like a bus of considering what might have started many years earlier.  It was still the right decision and absolutely the responsible choice -  but it doesn’t make the conflict disappear.  And your cynicism and vitriol can’t change that.
