Studies show that the most significant factor in a woman s decision to get an abortion is lack of support from the man to keep the child. As painful as it was hearing it, I was glad this friend from years ago had the courage to confront me. Men everywhere report that having a child aborted is a horrendous and heartbreaking experience, whether they opposed or supported the abortion. Afterwards, many men feel angry, guilty and powerless. Sometimes they become depressed and suicidal.
Many men think they re going to solve a problem by aborting their child.
Later they realize it was a big mistake that they can t forget. One man confessed that he had been an alcoholic and had committed various crimes for which he served prison time, but he said the worst thing he had ever done was to encourage his girlfriend to have an abortion. God gave each of us a conscience to help us know right from wrong. And when we do wrong, our conscience tugs at us until we repent and make amends. Our God is a loving Father who wants to forgive us for all our sins no matter how unforgivable they seem to be.
