Question for Pro Choice (pro abortion rights) People.
If you and women who have abortions truly DO NOT believe that abortion destroys a human life, then why do women who have one almost invariably feel guilt, depression, shame and remorse when they have one?

No one feels guilt or shame over an appendix being taken out. Why should they feel remorse from an abortion?

Why do you lecture pro lifers about "compassion" and not making women feel bad over an abortion if it isn't a human life:?

It makes no sense.​
 
To you.
Who said they do?
 

Can you provide evidence that this is so? Please, show your source.

yes, it can happen. Of course, it also happens that women will feel guilt and remorse if they have an unwanted child too. Society plays guilt trips on women who manage to enjoy sex, period.
 
There are too many sites on a google search to list.
 
You're asking questions in such a way that in reality this is just another bait thread in disguise. I may indulge myself in it, but I think for now I'll stay away.

Because people like you go out of your way to make[/]b them feel guilt, depression, shame, and remorse.

It is not 'invariably' a difficult decision. Neither do all women feel guilt or remorse about it. Neither necessarily do the partners of the women. Stop-calling-abortion-a-difficult-decision

Because losing a potential life is still cause for feeling bad. It is not, however, cause for infringing on someone's fundamental rights.
 
Some women feel guilt and depression and some don't. As for those who do? I don't know, but I am sure part of it has to do with them being raised in a society in which a large portion of the population says abortion is evil and murder. If you hear that enough times, even if your rational side disagrees, it will still affect you emotionally. It is a part of human psychology that has made marketing and advertising firms billions over the years.

If they grew up in a society in which that wasn't the case it would be a different story.

Then, just do a few of them, ones that you think are the BEST sources. I mean, as it is, it looks like an avoidance of hte issue, and that does not look good for showing honesty and integrity.
 

I just wanted to make it clear that a person can be pro-choice and yet not be pro-abortion. Personally, I'm pro-choice in every aspect of a person's individual life and yet I abhor abortion when it is the result of a lifestyle choice and not the solution to a physical or mental medical problem.
 


Yes, abortion ends a "human life."

Yes, I'm pro-choice.

What point are you trying to make?
 


It is the unwanted pregnancy that causes the stress and health problems in woman not abortions.

The data was from 44 worldwide studies taken between 1990 and 2011.

Minnie, just wanted to say a quick "Thank you" for your sources/stats/citations you provide everyday.
 
Great post.

Here's more of the same that "Pro-choicers" would also prefer to rationalize as nonexistent: http://www.debatepolitics.com/abortion/125393-post-abortion-stress-syndrome.html#post1060464996.
 
Which women are you referring to? Where did you get your data? I can agree this may happen, but it can also happen to those who decide to have a baby. :doh
 

If giving birth is so wonderful, why do so many women experience post-partum depression?
 

Sometimes people feel guilt and anxiety and depression and shame and remorse when they get divorces too. Making important life decisions is hard....they arent simple and sacrifices are made. These things are done to try and ensure that people and children..current and future...are all better off, even if the decisions and transitions are painful.

No one ever said that important...even the RIGHT...decisions are easy or pleasant but they are done with the hope and intent that the result will be a better furture.

Many tough decisions in life cause pain or difficulty or distress...that doesnt mean they are wrong. Life is messy.

Also, you need to source the bold, that the numbers of women experiencing that are as great as you claim.

LMAO

Er, then where, exactly, did you get your information from for the OP?
 

Most women who've had an abortion don't feel remorse unless it is forced onto them by religious nutters. Just like any other group of people, they are subject to the opinions of others and they let that garbage infect their minds. I find that there are a number of similar topics people want others to feel bad about. For example, I'm 54 yo, I had a horrendous childhood and disowned my family in my teen years. To date, we're talking decades now, people want me to feel horrible for disowning abusive parents. I'm strong enough to realize they are just wrong, but most people get swayed by being judged by others. We shouldn't but we do.

How about you? Don't you feel guilt when ever you give such a BS answer? No? Well you should.

Have you searched for an answer to this question instead of flapping your gums when giving answers? Of course you have. All of you have. But you do what you do best and lie.

Women do experience depression, suicidal thoughts and other depressing things.

Tell me something. Are you so in love with abortion that you don't see any cons? Are you seriously entertaining the prospect of telling us that there are absolutely no downsides to abortion? Please tell us that there are NO DOWNSIDES to abortion because I AM JUST LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE FUN OF...

BECAUSE IT'S RIDICULOUS!

PERIOD!

I'm waiting.........

Thank you. It needed to be said. Good point. A Google search will probably not shut these people up, but it needed to be said.

No. Women are talked into by some of the cruelest progressives around not realizing that they are being played by the left. Then when it happens, it can't be undone but nobody from the left are long gone. The truth is that they run away from their own responsibility for having convinced her to do it.
