A former friend of mine did and she did it quick and with no feelings at all. Of course her entire life was led by no emotion towards anything.

Honestly you never truely get over it. You wonder how your child would act what their favorite color would have been. The birth of a child following an abortion is bittersweet because you realize fully what you had missed with the aborted one. Plus all the books you read during pregnancy tell you what was developing and when, and you realize by the time you aborted you were really killed a BABY!! I had an ultrasound done with my son around the same time I had aborted my first child and what I saw while joyous broke my heart all over again. My baby had 5 fingers on each hand, Five toes on each foot, I could see the brain, and....a beating heart. We are killing children and that is awful! I think every mother should have to have an ultrasound and be shown her baby on the screen before being allowed to have an abortion, because had I seen that it would have stopped me cold!!! My son (I know it would have been one given the fathers family history) would be almost 6 right now. He would have been named Brandon Jacob. My son now would be a little brother instead of an only waiting on being a big brother. It's hard and without the forgiveness of Jesus Christ I do not believe I would have made it.

Well... I suppose I am lucky in that sense because I cannot have abortions - I am a guy. However had I gotten a female pregnant and we decided we were both not ready for such a responsibility (for whatever reason) I still would not want such a horrific thing to be done to my child. I would be very adamant about this with her and share my feelings, but ultimately it would still be her decision to make. I would just never do that if I were a female though.

My friend had one years ago when she was married to an abusive guy who forced her to have one.
Now she has a daughter and has to wonder what the first child would've been like. I'm not sure she will ever be totally over doing that, but like I said she was married to a very abusive guy who enjoyed taking out his faults on her.
I think you just have to get some counseling and go on to try and do bigger and better things.
For all of its faults, the Catholic church seems to have a lot of counseling available for post-abortion parents. I say this not being a Catholic, so take it for what it is worth.

I know two girls that had them and both regreted it, they hated themselves for doing it. But they both have children now and have moved on. They said they just had to look at it as if it never happened so they wouldn't get sad and depressed about it.

Some people never get over it. My sister had one in 2003 and she beats herself up over it whenever it's mentioned. She just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl December 8th and she says she thanks God every minute that the baby was developed and born healthy.
