I went into that abortion mill as pro-choice as anyone, but it felt like I just killed someone. I even said I'm Sorry as it was happening. I've never been the same, especially since having my kids now 17 years later.
Tell every woman you know.

It felt like surgery. It felt like a surgery that was going to correct what was going wrong. I felt relieved after just like many surgery patients do. When I was pregnant, I hated the fetus and thought of it as a monster. It was hurting me and abortion was my defense. Pregnancy isn't as easily done as it is said. I knew it should not be born and I wished everyday that it would just die. It didn't and I had to get an abortion. I didn't feel remorse. I felt like I did the right thing. I imagine that my abortion was much like getting a cancerous tumour removed except this kind of cancer could escape my body and go into the world.

You've asked a very heated question. I hope that everyone will treat you with compassion no matter what they believe.
Medically speaking-you will be told it's just surgery.
I had a son pass away when I was 38 weeks pregnant. He was stillborn. In the years since in trying to find awnsers I have read through tons of articles and books.
You will grieve for this baby. It may not be immediate but at some point you will go through the entire grief process. Pychologist will tell you that your body and mind will react to losing the baby no matter if it was your coice or natures.
I hope all these awnsers posted help but honestly this will be the hardest decision of your life. Look at all your options, some may be harder than others. You can contact your local Pregnancy Life Care Center and find help with options with out be judged.
Best of luck to you.

Wouldn't that depend on how you understand the concept of life, and when it actually begins?
For me, where I see abortion as wrong (for me) I would see it as murder, or wrong. But my opinion is not one to which other people must abide. Others may see life as beginning when the baby is able to sustain life on it's own, or at the actual time of birth. They may have different views than I and not see it as killing a living being.
The opinions are as varied as the women who have to make this choice, and choosing one of these opinions as the "correct" one, to me, is a disservice to all. Abide by what you see as right, but please don't enforce that viewpoint on everyone else.

If it's in the first trimester, no. Edgar Cayce in his book "Edgar Cayce on Prophecy" says that the soul does not enter the body until AFTER birth. I also had an early memory before I was born, I was floating around the ceiling and could see my mother. This was while she was giving birth. So, no I didn't 'kill' a sentient being. If you go on a real scientific website, you can get a real version of what a fetus in the first trimester looks like.

It is not ever surgery. The procedure itself is very simple in the first 3 months - after that time it is not advisable.
Dealing with the emotions can be tough because there is a hormonal drop in your body and this may lead you to believe you are depressed.
Women have to do what they think is right for them and not be swayed by persons who preach at them one way or another.

I would imagine that it depends on the person. Everyone is different and if you aren't emotionally prepared for one, then later on it would probably feel like murder. Either way, it is much more complicated than just regular surgery. If you are considering one, make sure you think it through very thoroughly before you go through with it.

well it all depends on how you feel about it If you want the baby but are doing it for someone else you will hate yourself. If you know this is the right thing for you you will hurt for a bit but will know you did what you had to do. Trust me its not easy but if its the best thing for you then dont regret it.

Surgery, if given the choice between those two ideas. Actually, though, it's less than surgery (I've had both).
Other people have the right to disagree with me; they just don't have the right to prevent me from having one.
