Jeremy, you write as though you may have been personally involved in an abortion. I was, some thirty years ago, and yes, it was traumatic for me and for my girlfriend.
But why should such a thing NOT be traumatic? Like it or not, hate it a little or a lot, my girlfriend and I terminated the existence of a nascent person for our convenience. THAT is the trauma I took away from the event.
To this day, I wonder who that boy might have been.
The wrong we have allowed to happen in this arena is the wrong of ready, cheap, easy abortions, not the traumatic stigma that most certainly should attach to every such act.
