An actress who is now 74 years old, Ellen Burstyn says the lowest point in her life was when she had an abortion. She was young and independent then.
Now 50 years later it haunts her.
I worked with women who had been victims of abortionists, even if they paid for it, and lived with the regret afterward.
The pain in those girls eyes, the grief they carried can't be explained away by some empty "it's just a blob of tissue" philosophy.
It's much more and they come to know it as time goes by.
Regret over an abortion destroys marriages, ends relationships, causes people who might have otherwise been good moms and dads to live under a cloud of regret.
God is forgiving. He does not hold our sins against us.
But we do.
