Abortion supporters: if your mother told you "I should have aborted you. I regret bringing you to term."
How would you feel? Angry, hurt, etc? Would you care?
Would you still support abortion?
I've never supported abortion. However, I feel I am qualified to answer this question because "the heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked". I have a human heart, and my mother used to tell me that I would wish I'd never been born. This was an almost constant refrain whenever I did anything that offended her, or made her life miserable. I was an almost constant source of disappointment to my mother. So the reality is that by saying that I would wish I'd never been born, on a very real level, she was saying that she wished I had never been born.
It makes me feel that I want revenge. I not only wish I had never been born, I wish my mother had never been born. She used to call down God's wrath upon my head, and now all I can do is call down God's wrath upon her head as well. I am certain I am damned, and as Christ points out, it would be better for some if they'd never been born.
So my support for abortion only extends to my own mother being aborted. Barring that, I can heap hot coals upon my head and curse my own conception.
