The Consequences

Of Abortion

To the Editor:

I agree with the letter writer Mr Montanez, “Why worry about animals when babies are at risk?” of January 25, 2005.

We don’t only have about 50 million precious babies dead through abortions. All their talents have been wasted. Maybe some would have achieved wonderful accomplishments?

There are also millions of women hurting silently after their abortions. Many have psychological side effects for years. Some are angry, some use drugs, drink...

Recently a woman told me, she has never been the same since her saline abortion almost 20 years ago. After the procedure she held her 5-month-old little one, red and shriveled up, in her arms and wept bitterly.

Women are left with the consequences of abortion physically and mentally.

I wonder whether the so-called choice services men more than women?
