I found out that my mother in law tried to self abort at 24 with a hanger and that’s why my sister in law was born prematurely. As someone who just had a baby at an even younger age, I find it so difficult to look at her the same way. She now takes antidepressants because she still feels guilt for what she did. I’m not sure how I feel. I feel somewhat sorry for her, yet not really because if she had succeeded she would’ve committed murder. It makes me cry that babies actually die like that.

Forgiveness is a difficult thing when it comes to this issue. Please read my post Love Them Both to discover why I think it is important to forgive. It makes me cry too, but we have to be brave and fight viciously to stop viciousness.
The pro-choice crowd is right — some women will still commit abortion even if laws are passed to ban it. It will take a culture shift to change minds, to someday have every person on this planet wince with repulsion at the idea of killing their own prenatal children.
Learn how to fight back.
