Honestly, I’m incensed by just the mere title of this letter (“Is reaction to Palin really a symptom of post-abortive grief, guilt?” Page 9, Oct. 1 Kent Reporter.) I’ve never written a letter to the editor before, but this grabbed me in the most offensive way.
Ms. Locke eludes that ALL of the brave women who have had an abortion suffer and are regretful, guilt-ridden creatures with “repressed” wounds. I am firmly Pro-Choice, if you didn’t already know, and I’m also a woman who has had an elective abortion. Ms. Locke’s description isn’t even near accurate for all women.
Now, not to say that there aren’t any women that carry pain and have regrets. That wouldn’t be accurate of me to state. I will not describe my personal circumstances, but I made peace with my decision. I am very thankful for having the option to choose.
If I had to relive that moment in time and had a chance to change my path, I would make the same choice. I do not have any regrets, but I wouldn’t be able to do it again.
Thank you for giving me the option to speak my opinion.
