Ask Leo if he cares so much about the abortion issue, then why is it Republicans also have a big problem making sure children DON'T suffer in poverty without health insurance once they are here?

Republicans believe that no one should have sex unless they can afford it... which means affording the babies. Don't you know they pay for what they have and expect the rest of us to do the same?

Funny, but I actually imagined that some things in life are free. Who knew?

As to the original question: many women regret having abortions and many have no regrets whatsoever.

I'm sure that at the time most if not all women who have abortions wish that things could have turned out differently. At the same time, they realize that they can't have things both ways and they realize that while they might not be able to have this baby, there will be a baby for them one day. Or not, depending on what the woman herself wants for herself.

The women you hear about who still have psychological and emotional problems years after the fact I would imagine are dealing with problems that don't come from having an abortion but those that come from listening to and accepting guilt trips from a bunch of critics whose business it just is not.
