The "pro-choice" side of course doesn't like to mention this.
My mom had an abortion about a year or 2 before she had me. Still haunts her to this day. I haven't really brought it up with her since I only learned that when she had a breakdown en route to the commencement ceremony for my Master's. I'm sure the fact the "clump of cells" would be out there starting a family, starting career, or doing any number of things but for the abortion wasn't lost on her at that moment.
I recall reading no end of stories of regret from women who would not go through with the abortion if they knew of the mental anguish and grief they'd experience for years after.

You never hear about that in the news, of course.
Right - on the news you just see chicks dressed up like handmaids tale with signs saying “abortion is normal”
These women are either sociopaths or never had an abortion and just want to protest over their loss of rights to murder fetuses.
I’m often wondered if I would tell my kids my own story with abortion, and if so when and how. I’m not sure.
