Perhaps you had political intonations, perhaps not, but I had no excuse for lashing out at you as I did. Perhaps this is still a senstive topic for me and I just get tired of pro-choicers questioning or making a political issue out of how grieving post-abortion women feel knowing such persons closely. But anyways, I had no right to lash out at you and my apologies. I hope you have a good rest of the evening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-11371009168157459012007-04-06T22:16:00.000-04:002007-04-06T22:16:00.000-04:00Sure...Would you say the same if it were someone o...Sure...Would you say the same if it were someone on your side?<BR/>And don't I have every right to make my feelings known on the issue?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-51399405757724164062007-04-06T20:32:00.000-04:002007-04-06T20:32:00.000-04:00Whoa Rachel, retract the claws.

I can imagine the stigma, shame, and grief she felt was strong. So anyways, I kindof got off to a tangent there towards the end of my last post, but participating in the Afterabortion.com boards has lead me to understanding that we as a society (and both pro-choice and pro-life) need to have more compassion towards those who are grieving after their abortion and make sure that the available post-abortion counseling services are well known in our schools, colleges, churches, and community centers. *stepping down from soapbox*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-35226940546556341392007-04-06T13:03:00.000-04:002007-04-06T13:03:00.000-04:00Christina, I'm sorry for lashing out at anyone, bu...Christina,<BR/> I'm sorry for lashing out at anyone, but this is a sensitive topic for me. I know and work with grieving post-abortion women over at the Afterabortion.com Message Boards on the Mental Illness Forum, where many of those ladies suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts and for many of them it's related to their abortion, much like with this young lady. While I originally joined to provide compassion and support to these women, I can relate to their struggles and search to find meaning in their feelings and illness and and infact have found excellent support through my own battle with depression and two suicide attempts (one which was with OTC Benedryl, it gave me shivers when I read that in her story). We don't question whether or not each other's feelings are real, we don't need any studies to prove that the emotional pain these individuals are feeling is or isn't real. These grieving women have found a safe place where they can share their feelings, find support, understanding, validation, and guidance on their road to recovery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-88917774725651041912007-04-06T03:30:00.000-04:002007-04-06T03:30:00.000-04:00Mary, I do not mean this rhetorical, but I am curi...Mary, I do not mean this rhetorical, but I am curious, which part broke your heart?Zygotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10986337766400769264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-49291812110941519252007-04-06T03:08:00.000-04:002007-04-06T03:08:00.000-04:00I wish everyone could read this story.
