It's probably a combination of the two. No one will ever forget what happened on 9/11 and there will be ceremonies and parades for a very long time. These acknowledgments will only serve to not only remind you of the terrorist attacks, but also of what you physically went through that day.
I've never had an abortion, but I do know that most women who have had abortions say that they have felt that there was something missing in their lives ever since the day they went through with the procedure.
My advice would be to speak with either your doctor or a counselor and, with their help, find a way to work through this. Don't expect to wake up one morning and feel like a new person, but treat it more as a natural grieving process.
Good luck!

you need to think about 3 things.
1. Did you do what was right for you?
2. Did you weigh your options (ie. adoption, abortion, keeping the baby)
3. How are you going to prevent pregnancy in the future?
If you can answer these and are satisfied with the answers then don't beat yourself up. I always encourage people to consider other options before deciding on abortion.
As far as the what ifs? and the empty feeling those will always be there and will most likely get better with time, but will never completely disappear. (I am against abortion, but what's done is done and I will not make a person feel worse or harp on them.) Good Luck honey and I hope you make some better precautions in the future.

Many women who have had abortions carry that sadness for the rest of their lives. It isn't a day-to-day thing, but from time to time you will think about it. You know the exact day of your abortion because it was a pivotal day in U.S. history, so that date will stay with you and you will think about it every September 11. My abortion was almost 20 years ago and I have thought about it often -- I would have a child in kindergarten; my child would be in middle school, my child would be graduating from high school, and now my child would have been in college. I can't go back and change what happened, but I can take control of what I can change and that is to make sure I am never faced with the decision of an unwanted pregnancy again. Best of luck to you. Try calling a Crisis Pregnancy Center, they will talk with you.

you are still mourning the loss of your baby. Because of that day in history, many are mourning the loss of their loved one also.
Your body went through a loss with an abortion, so what you are feeling is very natural. Most women don't realize that this is what happens after an abortion, and it's sad that they weren't told
I had a miscarriage 18 years ago, and I still find myself mourning the loss of the baby. At first it was really hard, but it got better as time went on.
I would suggest you get in contact with a place that counsels women that are suffering their loss after abortion, also known as Post Abortion Syndrome. There is healing in knowing you aren't the only one, and speaking with those who feel as you do.

i imagine it would still be just as hard at the beginning. but now since it was on such a memorable day it might make it harder to get over because you will be reminded of it every year by the media, not just your own memory.

Many, many, many women who have abortions are very sorry they did so. I don't feel religiously about it but I do think it's wrong. I think you'd feel bad about it no matter what. Like I said, most women do. The woman who spearheaded the drive for reproductive rights and was behind the monumental decision of Roe vs. Wade has come forward in recent times to say that she is sorry she ever did. She and a great many women who have had abortions and are sorry are now lobbying to have this law changed. That should tell you something.

I think an abortion would warrant your feelings without the history of 9/11. You might want to find someone close to you and discuss this with them as opposed to this forum. You probably need more of a dialogue than an answer.

You're experiencing a lot of emotions, both around the day and the abortion. In combination it's making you feel worse.
Talk to a counselor to help you sort out your feelings. Planned Parenthood could help you out. And please pay no attention to the cruel things people are saying to you on this forum.

ok whatever i said was not nice
i'll rephrase it
which is more memorable to you?
the abortion or 9/11?
forget 9/11 as the day that USA got attacked, leave that to politicians and the war profiting (halliburton) they are after,
that is the last thing you should think about, instead use the past as a lesson for tomorrow
by that i mean, don't forget were you been and dark times you went through,

probably not.
sorry but alot of women who go through an abortion suffer a severe depression after the fact and the ones who all say its OK and the best choice are generally the ones who neglect to inform you of this.
