It is probably such a hard thing to gage. My friend who had abortions was very depressed. I actually understand where Dan is coming from when he says the depression caused the woman to abort, especially with this friend of mine who kept having abortions rather than being on birth control. She was married btw.

She was not depressed when she had the first abortion but was afterwards. But she never sought treatment. Many women say they know they were depressed but didn't go to a doctor for treatment. So like I say, it is hard to gage. My humble opinion is that people with a conscience might become very depressed about what they had done.

Women who brag about it have probably hardened themselves in order to deal with guilt. When one feels guilty, they often want confirmation that what they did was right for everyone so they can take focus off themselves.

I really don't know why a woman would brag about it but I do know that if someone does something wrong, they like to point out that others did it too in order to make it seem right.

This is probably why pro abortion people lie to women and don't want to tell them the dangers of the procedures or even the dangers of those pills...or any after effects. This is also why they don't even want her to see an ultrasound if she asks to see. They want these women, especially the young ones, to think it is a blob of goo and not to see that it is a baby being formed.
