- To imply that "normal" women shouldn't feel guilty about an
- abortion suggests that you know how women should or shouldn't
- feel. You're shooting "choice" in the foot here. If a woman
- decides that abortion is wrong for her, it's no one's business
- but hers, right? If, in a desperate moment, she has an abortion
- anyway, she's likely to have some subsequent guilt. That doesn't
- make her abnormal, that just makes her someone struggling to be
- true to her ideals, i.e. human. Let people choose their own
- values. That's what choice is all about.
