I actually feel sorry for them. Because I know that for the vast majority of those "lions", it's a coping projection. They know they fucked up. They know they ended an innocent. And they need to convince others that they made the right choice, so that they can convince themselves they made the right choice. Because otherwise, they'd not be able to sleep at night. Someone who is fine with their actions doesn't need to seek the approval of the masses.
Abortion regret is massive. Even the ones that say they don't regret it, regret it deep down. There's only a small sliver that actually don't, that are truly evil. And while those that lie help spread more evil, I feel sorry for them because of the predicament they put themselves in. Not enough for forgiveness, but in the same way I feel sorry for how a junky has put themselves in that situation, hoping they can get better while never forgiving the actions they took (though the obvious difference between the two examples is that one requires someone to take a life, the other doesn't).
If they are really regretful they can be saved. Actually, legit get out campaigning, tell the world not to repeat the mistake. I can forgive people if they don't perpetuate the circle of death by saving others from the mistake. I get where your compassion is coming from. I just don't know if I could forgive people like that if they don't speak out. There probably are and those women I have sympathy for, I don't know how it is to be a woman so I can only guess. Losing a child is already horrible, making the choice to lose the child has got to be utterly soul crushing.
I just don't know if I could forgive people like that if they don't speak out.
Well that's the thing, I don't think I can forgive them either, but I can at least be understanding and sorry for the predicament, even if they put themselves in that situation. Which is why I also don't blame any individual for not wanting to constantly bring up something which could be legitimately traumatic (and I hate the fact using that word makes me feel like it's SocJus language when they've just twisted it so much). For many that don't speak up or even try to defend their abortions, I think it's a coping mechanism to avoid the reality of having to come to terms with the reality that they chose to end an innocent life, because having to face such a reality could utterly destroy them from the inside.
