What a sad, sad statement.

JAM,
It seems like you took one statement of a very long post out of context a bit.
Just to clarify, my complete statement was the following:
I can tell you that none of my friends regret the decision they made. Of course, if you ask, they will mention that they think about how their lives would have turned out if they had decided to go through with the pregnancy. But there is not a single woman who has expressed regret to the point where if she could turn back the clock she would change her mind. All of them are content with the road they took and not a one feels that she made a poor decision...except for the girl who gave her baby up for adoption at the direction of her mother instead of following her own wishes and having an abortion.
I am not saying that these women didn't debate their decision to have an abortion long and hard before they took action. And I'm not saying that they never think about what having a child might have been like. All I'm saying is that they can look back on their decision -- still today -- and feel certain that they made the right choice, for themselves and their unborn child.
They were in NO position to have those children at that stage in their lives, and they were intelligent enough to realize it and responsible enough to do something about it. They have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or feel guilty about, and NO ONE should try to lay blame or guilt at their feet, especially strangers who know little to nothing about their situations. That's the problem I have with pro-life protesters. They know absolutely nothing about the women to whom they are making disparaging comments, so who gave them the right to judge? The answer is: no one.
