Hi, I have underwent an abortion and I feel bad now. Why have I done it? but, it seems to me that I would be disappointed even if I decided to have child? There are always pros and cons.

Hi, often women who've had abortions stay strongly on the point that an abortion is a sin. Very few have said they had no emotional scars from the abortion. A woman needs to be fully informed of all possible options before making a decision to have an abortion. One of the more interesting weblogs to read on this subjects is Annie After Abortion weblog. It is about a woman who had abortions. Many years after, she is still facing the psychic pain over it. Now, she is involved in work counseling women who've had the same problem and need support about it.

I do not regret my abortion at all, I am very happy that I made that choice.

Many women are.

Women also have regrets! It is okay to grieve and feel a loss, this is how you cope and move through these feelings.

You are not a bad person, but abortion is difficult for many women.

Many women have stated something similar to what you have, "I feel like I would regret having a baby too".

Abortion is not always an easy decision, but you are not alone, and you are not a bad person.
