Listen to the Women Who Regret Their Abortions

Amid the debates over what studies prove or disprove about the effects of abortion, we often neglect the truth — the untold stories of women. We know that every abortion causes the death of a child. But one population remains disregarded on both sides of the issue — the myriad of women suffering as silent victims after undergoing an abortion. We should all be willing to listen to their voices.

The Abortion Memorial website, for instance, features hundreds of women commemorating the stories of their aborted children. These mothers testify to their own grief and regret, in part as tribute to their child and as warning to other mothers.
