It&#8217;s probably been a month,&#8221; the post-abortive woman said in the video, &#8220;and I hate myself every day. Sucks, cause in the moment I felt like I was doing the right thing. But every time I&#8217;m going to bed here I&#8217;m just so alone. I just think about like, what if. Because I&#8217;m not like, I&#8217;m not a child. Like, I&#8217;m an adult so this just like hit me on a different level. I had all the means in the world to do it on my own.

But the data is highly deceptive because a large majority of the women in the study dropped out. Previous <a href=\"http:\/\/abortionrisks.org\/index.php?title=Soderberg\">studies<\/a> have found women who have had negative abortion experiences may be reluctant to talk about them. The fact that the authors chose to ignore this relevant information should cast significant doubt upon the integrity of their study.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, as Secular Pro-Life has <a href=\"https:\/\/secularprolife.org\/2024\/02\/the-overlooked-findings-of-the-turnaway-study\/\">pointed out<\/a>, with all its flaws, the Turnaway Study also shows that by the end of five years, only 4% of the women denied abortions (and who continued to participate in the study) still wished they could have aborted. That would leave 96% of women who didn&#8217;t regret giving birth to their children \u2014 even in a skewed study with a high dropout rate.<\/p>\n<p>Additional issues with the study seemingly make it impossible for it to accurately represent the feelings of women who have had abortions. No matter how much abortion advocates want to gaslight women and deny the truth, abortion regret is very real and very distressing. Research has shown that abortion trauma and regret exist, with 20% of women in one study found to be struggling with clinical depression after an abortion and 31% of women saying they would not choose to abort again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Somebody who truly cares, a friend who really wants to help would step into that grief with the post-abortive woman,&#8221; said Parker, &#8220;and you would affirm the guilt and regret that she feels is properly felt because she did make that [decision].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/ARQQhk1\"><b><i>The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children.
