Answer 1

I wanted to cry looking up these questions for you. I to am against abortion. "there is always adoption" Anyhow besides from that I found a few web sites. One says only 80% DON'T regret abortion (SAD) and then there is another web site for women who do regret their abortions. They have a cemetery where they can put headstones for their babies....... I hope this helps.

Answer 2

I have had an abortion and I do not regret it. Horrible time, with what I found out to be a horrible guy. I also do not believe that this is school work but I also think even if it was and you are looking for percentages. The numbers will always be flawed. It is such a personal thing, you can not predict how many women will regret and how many will be fine. Every woman is so very different and many regret for a while then move on. I am glad you at least acknowledge that since you have never been in the situation you don't actually know what you would do. Feelings change very much when you are backed into a corner and a lot of self righteous women would go against their preaching ( alot, not all) (Bring on the thumbs down because I am being honest)

Answer 3

I used to say the same thing. I would never get one.......And then after flawed birth control(pill and condom), I found out I was pregnant. I found myself in a difficult position. And I had an abortion done. I get a little depressed around August, which is when the baby would have been due (he/she would have been going on 8 yrs old this Aug). But I managed to move on a few short years after the fact and eventually married and had another child, who is now 3 yrs old (almost 4). There are times when I think about it. I wonder what the child would have been like. But I have so much of my time and attention focused on my daughter that I don't have time to ponder on the why's and what-if's. I could never go through it again, but I still believe it is a woman's right to decide about her body. And when I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child(VERY unplanned and unwanted) I can admit that the thought did cross my mind, but I knew almost as soon as the thought entered my mind that I could not do it again. And I am planning on putting the new baby up for adoption. Every woman handles it differently. And not all of us are the cold-hearted murderers that the pro-lifers make us out to be. Never judge until you have been put in the shoes of those you judge.

Answer 4

DUH! I don't know many women who have had one that DON'T regret it.:/
My aunt had one when she was 13. She is now in her early 50's and she still-STILL-thinks of the "what ifs". I am 29. I had one when I was 24(?). Yeah. Cuz I had JUST had a baby-my now almost-5-yr-old daughter. When she was 3 WEEKS old, my bf and I got pregnant again. I didn't even know it, because the ONLY symptom I had was no period-and because I had been breast feeding at night, I thought it was only because of that. But when 2.5 months went by, with no period, I figured I better just get a test. Yep. So, after arguing with bf for about 2 weeks, I broke down and agreed with him that it would probably be best. I did NOT want to do it. Went in to get the procedure in tears and BEGGING God to forgive me. But, I had it in my head that this was probably for the best, cuz here my daughter is only 4 months old. I'm on welfare. My bf is acting weird(turned out he was cheating on me, but that's another story). So...it is what it is. What's done is done and there is no going back to change it. But of course I regret it. I know God has forgiven me. I have only recently forgiven myself. Every September 29(when I had the procedure), and every April(about when my baby[I think it was a boy] would have been born)-I still grieve.
I always said that if it ever came down to it, I would NEVER get an abortion. ALWAYS said that-but until you are in such a situation-you NEVER know for sure.

Answer 5

My friends girlfriend had an abortion about two months ago. In the beginning when she started getting pregnancy symptoms, enlarged breasts, craving for food, moodiness etc.. they discussed the possibilities and decided that they would keep it. But reality hit home when she tested positive for pregnancy, i guess they both freaked out and realised they weren't ready to be parents. He still thinks about it a lot, but he doesn't have any regrets.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

First, explain how this is for your schoolwork. I don't believe you. Second, it's none of your business.
