David Russell is the\u00a0father of an aborted baby. \u00a0He wrote a book<\/a> about abortion and the way it affected him. \u00a0In the following passage, he writes\u00a0about post-abortion guilt, grief, and depression. \u00a0Anyone thinking about having an abortion should consider his words:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019ve all heard the platitudes regarding abortion that are being bandied about the workplace and the schools. \u201cIt\u2019s the only choice\u2026 It will pass\u2026 It will be like nothing ever happened\u2026 You can have other children\u2026\u201d You\u2019ve heard them all\u2026<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t pass. It will never be like nothing ever happened. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, from the moment of conception, we are parents, and on some deep level, we realize it. After abortions, we are the parents of children who died, and carry the burdens of our parts in those deaths. No matter how strongly you may believe that you could forget about that child, I can tell you from experience it doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Much has been written about women’s post-abortion trauma, also called\u00a0Post-Abortion Syndrome by pro-lifers. Less attention is given to the feelings of men. \u00a0But many men suffer, too, and often suffer in silence.<\/p>\n
