I don’t get it
I skimmed through the PASS (post abortive stress syndrome) website linked to The After Abortion Blog. There are a few pages of women’s personal testimonials. I read the first page and could not read an further. What amazes me is not only how negatively abortion affects the women, but how it affects others involved, the doctors and nurses, the boyfriends. Everyone seems to be affected by how evil this is, yet no one stands up and says “this is so wrong”. They all just internalise and go on. Here are some quotes:
*”I felt so low, I felt like all the doctors and nurses must really hate us for what we are doing. I remember when the time came for me to go into theatre I started to get really scared, a nurse came and took me, she never said a word to me which made me feel terrible.”
*”The car ride was very quiet…. my boyfriend was very upset. I got mad at him for being upset b/c he was not the one that had to go through it….but I realize now how hard it must have been for him.”
*”he doctor, who was very old and he was not very nice at all. During the procedure I felt everything….the sedative was not working. He kept yelling at me and shoving my legs open…”
*”So glen and I are still together after 7 years and we have a son. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about them.When I do happen to mention it to glen he says ‘don’t talk about that it kills me inside’. “
*”After the process I was so depressed and failed every one of my classes and suffered from PASS.
I do not understand the concept of something being so good for everyone causing this much trauma. A good action should have positive consequences. When someone does something right, the end results are high self esteem, happiness, the ability to look in the mirror each day. We are ignoring basic logic so women can have the right to kill their children.
