Post Abortion Syndrome … for Dad
Not only are abortion survivors now old enough to tell their stories … fathers are stepping up to talk about their grief and loss. From Albert Mohler’s article A Voice they Don’t Want to Hear:
Just a couple of weeks ago, a new voice was heard in the abortion debate — the voice of the fathers whose babies have been aborted. As The Los Angeles Times reported, these men have been gathering and telling their stories [read my article here]. And their stories are powerful.
That’s clearly what worries abortion rights proponents. These men spoke of their grief, their loss, their guilt, and their shame. Some spoke of the forgiveness they had received through Christ and most spoke of their determination to tell the truth about their abortion experiences.
Look at this:
Jason Baier talks often to the little boy he calls Jamie. He imagines this boy — his son — with blond hair and green eyes, chubby cheeks, a sweet smile. But he’ll never know for sure. His fiancee’s sister told him about the abortion after it was over. Baier remembers that he cried. The next weeks and months go black. He knows he drank far too much. He and his fiancee fought until they broke up. “I hated the world,” he said. Baier, 36, still longs for the child who might have been, with an intensity that bewilders him: “How can I miss something I never even held?”
What a heart wrenching story! What is even more heart wrenching are the quotes being used by the abortion industry to stigmatize these grieving fathers. Go read the whole article.

This is a great article. The abortionist’s response lays bare the foundation of her movement’s beliefs–that family doesn’t matter, truth is determined by public opinion and the courts, and above all, a stalwart denial of the ugly truth of abortion. Where in the world is the freedom they are after?
I know… her response is cold, stigmatizing and calculated. It’s shocking.
About a year ago I saw how a late term abortion is carried out, and concluded beyond a shadow of a doubt that abortion is nothing more than murder. It’s terrible. Not just late term abortion but abortion at any stage. Most women don’t even know for sure whether they’re pregnant or not for a few weeks after conception, and yet the fetus can feel pain within four weeks. You’d better believe that tiny soul feel something when it’s aborted, and it’s just beyond me why our nation has given in to this and put up with it for so long. I hear people talk about life not beginning until your born, but yet those same people will concede that a piece of fungus growing on a tree the size of a pin point is living. They can believe that, but believe a preborn baby growing, moving, hearing, feeling pain, able to respond to the senses is not alive. It’s sad. Just sad.
If I were married and my wife had an abortion, yes, I’d probably feel awful about it as well. And I don’t think I could stay with someone who’d do something like that. I’d always be wondering what could have and should have been. The thing that gets me concerning the law is that it disregards our own constitution concerning the right to life, but also the fact that it takes two to tango and yet only one person (the woman) is given a choice in the matter. Doesn’t seem quite fair, does it?
The Fathers’ stories- a very important perspective.
