is it possible to have an abortion and no feel terrible over it?

Answer 1

If you are asking this question then you obviously are having doubts about it. Don't do it! You are killing an innocent child and you will be haunted by it for the rest of your life.

Answer 2

I've never had an abortion, but I took a friend to a clinic to have one. I still feel guilty for it. I couldn't believe all the little girls in there having abortions like it was nothing.

After my friends abortion, I had a string of bad luck. I always felt like it was because I helped her. A few months after her abortion, the father died in a freak accident. I know she's never gotten over the abortion either. Some people obviously have no problem dealing with it, but I certainly would feel terrible the rest of my life.

Answer 3

It is at the very least sad, but read the book freakonomics, and understand that the odds for an unwanted childs true happiness are at best questionable. There are so many unwanted children already clogging the foster system and many i have worked with are terribly damaged. Adoption has been more heartbreaking from several sources for the senses of loss and abandonment. You may eventually forget the abortion but never a child given up. I feel sorry for people who are unable to have children, but there are not shortages of unwanted children in this world.. I have many friends who adopted from china, where they say baby girls lay 3 to a crib. So do what you feel is best and know you can be an excellent parent when you choose to.

Answer 4

YOu need to look over all the other questions and answers that have been given on her about abortion! A lot of girls regret it and there are so many other options for you! Give that baby a life, give it up to a loving family who can't have children! There are many couples out there who are unable to do this themselves!
I highly doubt you will ever forgot a decision like this! A Embryo has a heart beat at as early a 6 days! It is a living thing and think about it, if you were aborted you wouldn't be here!
Good luck with your decision!

Answer 5

Absolutely! The myth that abortion leaves a woman with a lifetime of regret is just that - a myth. Sadly, it is a myth propagated by anti-abortion fanatics - people who claim to be Christian, but who conveniently ignore the Biblical injunction against lying when it suits their purposes.

Some women do indeed feel remorse over having had an abortion, but almost every one of them overcomes that remorse and soon goes on to a happier life.

Abortion is a major decision that should not be made lightly. But in the end, it is the woman's choice and hers alone.

Answer 6

I think you might not feel terrible about it immediately after having an abortion, because you will feel so relieved. However, in the years that follow I think it might come back to you time and again. You definitely need to think about it and talk it through with someone you trust to make sure it is the right choice for you.

Answer 7

That would depend on the persons frame of mind and the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy......the key to remember is that many times people get abortions because they are scared have been raped or just don't know what else to do...sometimes people just have to do what is right for them ....my feeling is that if you do what you know is the right thing to do in your heart you can have it without feeling terrible...in many cases the person is young and with the young pregnancies can be very difficult and there is also a higher rate of birth defects...if you are asking for yourself then search your heart....do what you know is right for you and you will be okay

Answer 8

some people don't feel terrible about it at the time

but that changes over time when the depression and realization of what they have lost sets in

before the abortion you still have a choice - afterwards you have NO choice over what is going on or how you feel about it

unless you have a dire medical reason for one (like ectopic pregnancy or something like that) then it would be better for you (and the baby) to have the baby and if need be adopt it after it is born

Answer 9

Not as far as I am concerned. I don't think anyone looks back on it with fond memories. I happen to be pro-life, however even pro-choice individuals feel the same. When a person has an abortion it is because they are attempting to get themselves out of what they have decided to be a bad situation for them. nobody is excited about it.

Answer 10

If you aren't using abortion as a primary means of birth control then you need to weigh out your decision carefully.

Ask yourself if it coincides with your beliefs as far as religion is concerned. Ask yourself if adoption might be an alternative... there are many couples who can provide a healthy and happy home who have lots of love for a child that is not biologically their own.

I also suggest talking with a professional about this. Someone who is not going to exercise their own morals and beliefs.

No one can tell you if your decision is right or wrong.

Answer 11

Yes. I had an abortion and do not regret it at all. I've never given it a second thought. Do not be swayed by what the masses dictate to you that is right or wrong. You do what you are comfortable with and make the right decision for you.
