"I conceived my first child on my husbands birthday (he knew he says). I had an abortion without his knowledge, he was very upset. I was 22. I had another after my first son was born, this time is was my husband who ecouraged me because we could not afford it. Four years later, i gave birth to my second son. Six months later we again had another abortion. The first abortion i resent myself for not being woman enough to my parents and have my child who would have been 23 or 24 the others would have been 17 and 13. I think about them all the time. WHAT IF… i considered getting a tatoo in memory of them, i can’t get over it." (misunderstood22)
HAving just read another article on the denial of post abortion syndrome at RH Reality Check, I came across this blog "The Secret Society of women" where woman after woman sites their secret as abortion and laments their regrets and struggles.
For something that does not exist an awful lot of women are talking about it...dothey think we are dumb or do they count on us to stay in a "secret society" and not make our experiences public? While it takes time to heal and prayer and discernment before women go public (if they ever do..that is between them and God, no "right " answer in what ways he will chose to use them)more and more women continue to speak out in different ways..
