I'm a mental health worker. Every female patient I have worked with who has been vulnerable enough to disclose a previous abortion struggled with regret and sadness. It leaves heavy heavy emotional scars that planned parenthood and pro-choice advocates never acknowledge or prepare women for.

I had a slight case of vicarious trauma when a female patient told me how planned parenthood gave her the pills to take home and abort the child with. She was never prepared for what she would actually see and experience. I wasn't prepared for what she told me. First time in my 10+ years as a therapist that I felt physically nauseous in a session and afterwards at home.

Her post from 2 weeks later

It’s been about 2 weeks since my surgery and I didn’t think it would take this much of a toll on me but it has. I been feeling so depressed. I have to live with the fact that I chose what the father wanted instead of what I wanted. I can’t even be around my family for the holidays because nobody knows and I can’t just pretend like everything’s okay so I’ll just rather be alone. I feel like a part of me died that day. I need advice on how I can get through this.

This is not unusual. Back in the day there were no ultrasounds. The pervasive narrative was clump of cells.

I just watched Roe vs. Wade on Saturday with my friend. It was so sad. The doc who was referred to as the "abortion king" or "the scraper" had a change of heart when ultrasounds came out. He gave his own girlfriend and abortion and he realized he killed his own daughter. Cameos by Mike Lindell, Roger Stone, Tomi Lauren. Starring, Joey Lawrence, Stacy Dash, John Schneider, Nick Loeb, Alveda King, John Voight and several others. It was really good. The true story of how abortion was passed. Parts were a little hard to take due to subject matter. There were parts about the demon woman Margaret Sanger, she was evil. I would recommend it.

Another devastating way of life pushed by the evil asshole dems and crammed down our throats under false pretenses through SCOTUS. Just like gay marriage.

My heart goes out to these women, and the men who were co-responsible. Regret and remorse can be great catalysts to never go there again.

I have been party to two abortions in my youth. In my pre-Christ days. I'm a man. I truly didn't understand love until I got saved as a young man. Regret and remorse mean nothing if you've never truly understood love.

Children are a gift from God. It can be overwhelming to think of rejecting a gift from God in the most heinous way. All for ones self-gratification. Sex. To get your rocks off. But you know what? The Blood of Jesus Christ covers ever all of that and then some, and then some, and then some ...

Not surprised, most never get over it. All the women I knew who could not have children were those who had abortions. Sad.

Wow, that's a pretty depressing subreddit.

Is there a way to view the thread without having the app or an account? Or is it like a sensitive forum and you need those things to view?

Well, of course she regrets it. She wanted the baby.
