Out of Britain comes a very sad, sad story. Emma Beck, an artist
tormented by having aborted her twins, was found hanging at her home a
day before her 31st birthday. Expressing her grief and regret in a
suicide note, she wrote: "I should never have had an abortion. I see
now I would have been a good mum."

While suicide isn’t a common
consequence of abortion, the emotional torment that can precipitate it
certainly is. Attesting to this is Theresa Karminski Burke, a
psychotherapist who has counseled hundreds of "Post-abortion Trauma"
victims. In her book Forbidden Grief: The Unspoken Pain of Abortion,
she quotes many of these poor souls. One of them, Ellen, expressed well
her sisterhood of pain’s unremitting torment, saying, "I wish I had
never done it. I will never forgive myself. Sometimes I could kill
myself for that."
