All of them told me that if they knew it would have felt like that, they wouldn't have gotten the abortion...All but one case I found out about after... There was a case I knew it was going to happen, but couldn't change the girl's mind. 2 years later, said girl still gets bouts of regret, and depression, and will still talk about wanting her baby back when she get's really drunk...
I asked every girl about if they'd be telling their husbands or BFs about the feelings from the abortion... All said that hell would freeze over first for a million years... another one said that the'd rather be tied to a bed of nails and raped all day every day for the next 10 years... (kinda graphic, but throws out the rape is a fate worse than death philosophy, among other experiments)...
However, I do believe that when a soul is granted to a fetus, it has life... I believe that happens at conception... Those who doubt the existence of a soul should look at the papers from docs at the concentration camps in Germany where they weighed people as they were dying, and found out that when they died, the body consistently weighed about 27 grams less. If I remember the study right, they could completely reanimate the body, but those 27 grams didn't come back...
