Blogs for Bush is citing the psychological effects of abortion as a reason to oppose elective abortions. They write, "It is always a difficult thing. After all, men can't get pregnant, and there is always the pro-abortion woman to come on and ask you who the heck you think you are talking about abortion as if a man can know what it is really like. There is a truth in this - a man cannot know what an abortion is like; but it is only a partial truth, and a very twisted bit of partial truth, at that.
"Still, for the most part I've stayed away from really discussing the affects of abortion - I will freely discuss my moral opposition to abortion (no Catholic can be other than pro-life), and I hold quite clearly that Roe was a wrongly decided case. But as to what abortion actually is and what it does to the women involved, I have mostly remained silent. Well, as it turns out, I don't have to be silent - a great lady from The Justice Foundation , Anne Newman, set me straight on the matter.
"The Justice Foundation does a lot of things, but it was Operation Outcry which was brought to my attention when I visited Washington, D.C. Operation Outcry is a program which allows the living victims of abortion - the mothers bamboozled into having an abortion - to speak out about the mental, moral and physical damage abortion did to them. Several ladies who had abortions were present at the meeting and they told us their tale - you can read similar stories over at the Operation Outcry website. After hearing the stories, it was completely brought home to me the utter depravity of elective abortion - and sorrow for the victims, mother and child, who are made to suffer so that Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers can make money. We are killing unborn children, and there simply can't be a good reason for doing that."
