I do find this abortion article so incredibly sad. I know someone personally who had an abortion, she has never been the same since.

An artist killed herself after aborting her twins when she was eight weeks pregnant, leaving a note saying: "I should never have had an abortion. I see now I would have been a good mum."

Emma Beck was found hanging at her home in Helston, Cornwall, on Feb 1 2007. She was declared dead early the following day - her 31st birthday.

Her suicide note read: "I told everyone I didn't want to do it, even at the hospital. I was frightened, now it is too late. I died when my babies died. I want to be with my babies: they need me, no-one else does."

So sad. I knew a girl that had four abortions before she started living for God. She said what she hated the most was passing by the Christians with signs making her feel so horrible about herself on her way inside the abortion clinic. She told me that she would spit at them.

I don't believe in picketing!

Uhhh... there are MANY success stories too. I guess I have mixed feelings.

I suppose so. It always seemed to hateful to me. I know someone that had an abortion and their way of dealing with it is to picket. I would just feel like I was standing in judgment.

I don't believe in picketing!
Our church regularly picketed an abortion mill for several years....till it closed. While we were never 'in your face' we did get the message out and several didn't murder their child after talking with us and some are in our church today.

BTW, your friend should feel horrible about doing what she did. THE problem is that most don't. It's just a 'product' of conception.

What if they were killing 2 year olds? Would that make a difference?

RD,
Did you want my friend to carry her guilt after she repented? This issue will always be in her mind for the rest of her life. Why say, you hope she feels horrible after repentance? I'm sure you don't mean that.

Well, RD, that is a rather ridiculous question to ask, so I'll let you answer it for us. Would that be fair to you?

No not after repentance...but I'm sure that a lifetime of remorse is appropriate.

You mentioned that picketing seamed hateful. I think that is partially because we do not put a face with the unborn. If we did, like with a 2 year old, it would not seem so hateful. Logically there is no difference.
