While I cannot speak from experience, I think this topic
is large enough to write fairly generally and not be far from
truth.
I think first, the mother of the unborn child is
most affected by abortion. The physical pain of an abortion can last many weeks - but
the emotional pain can last a lifetime. Most women who have had abortions will testify
that (whether they regret the action or not) it is something they will never forget -
and do not have pleasant memories of.
Those who believe
life begins at conception believe the action condemns an unborn life and soul to an
unnecessary premature death.
Finally, other family members
and friends would certainly be affected. Anytime a person undergoes a major life
decision or change, whether positive or negative, others who love and support that
person are in part, affected. If the father is aware of the abortion - no doubt he
could experience similar feelings and thoughts as the mother. The most prominent of
these feelings is probably grief and wonder if they made the right
choice.
The Catholic church has taken a firm stance AGAINST
abortion. In any instance where the abortion is deliberate and not done to save the
life of the mother - it is considered a sin - namely murder. It is certainly
forgivable, according to the pope - but considered unbiblical and
evil.
