I often wonder how many "Emmas" there are in the world. There is no way of really knowing but I am sure we would find the numbers staggering. Of course, the pro abortion community does not seemed concerned with their deaths as we hear the deafening silence when it comes to cases like this...if they do manage to say anything it is usually that she must have had emotional problems prior to her abortion.
First of all, so what? even more reason fo r screening and counseling before abortion, but they fight against that as well....
May Emma and her children rest in peace...

ABORTION: UNTOLD TRUTHS
March 1, 2008 -- SHE didn't
have to die. And neither did her unborn chil
dren. Last weekend, London
newspapers reported on the 2007 suicide of
30-year-old Emma Beck, a young
British artist who hung herself after the
abortion of her twin babies.
Perhaps the retelling of her suffering can
prevent more needless
deaths.
The agony and loneliness in Beck's suicide note resonate across
racial and
class lines, across generations. She was distraught over a breakup
with her
boyfriend, who didn't want the children. She was suffering intense
grief
from her decision to end the lives inside her. And so she ended her
own.
"I should never have had an abortion. I see now I would have been a
good
mum," Beck wrote. "I told everyone I didn't want to do it, even at
the
hospital. I was frightened, now it is too late. I died when my babies
died.
I want to be with my babies - they need me, no one else
does."
Beck's family blames the medical establishment. The judicial
system, as is
so often the case, has become a coping mechanism. A British
court recently
held a hearing on Beck's suicide. Beck's mother revealed that
her daughter
"was not given the opportunity to see a counselor."
When
a professional "counselor" can't be found, isn't that what mothers
are
for?
But it's not just jaded abortion providers and medical
assistants, AWOL
counselors and MIA parents who need to look in the mirror.
We've tolerated a
culture of callousness and nurtured an entitlement to
convenience for
decades. Feminists shush women with post-abortion
regrets.
Population-control zealots and Planned Parenthood drum it into the
heads of
young women around the world: "The fewer, the merrier" and "Why
carry more
burdens?" their T-shirts and bumper stickers proclaim.
Last
fall, the British press went gaga over an environmental nitwit who had
an
abortion and got her tubes tied to "protect the planet." She told
London's
Daily Mail: "Every person who is born uses more food, more water,
more land,
more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more
pollution, more
greenhouse gases and adds to the problem
of
over-population."
