Honestly, I\u2019m incensed by just the mere title of this letter (\u201cIs reaction to Palin really a symptom of post-abortive grief, guilt?\u201d Page 9, Oct. 1 Kent Reporter.) I\u2019ve never written a letter to the editor before, but this grabbed me in the most offensive way.<\/p>\n
Ms. Locke eludes that ALL of the brave women who have had an abortion suffer and are regretful, guilt-ridden creatures with \u201crepressed\u201d wounds. I am firmly Pro-Choice, if you didn\u2019t already know, and I\u2019m also a woman who has had an elective abortion. Ms. Locke\u2019s description isn\u2019t even near accurate for all women.<\/p>\n
Now, not to say that there aren\u2019t any women that carry pain and have regrets. That wouldn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t be able to do it again.<\/p>\n
Thank you for giving me the option to speak my opinion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
