Charlotte Dawson, a popular Australian celebrity committed suicide last year. She'd been battling depression for 14 years, after having an abortion. She hung herself.

"In the book, 'Air Kiss and Tell,' she revealed she had had an abortion with her former husband, Olympic swimmer Scott Miller, so that he would not have any distractions in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics....Ms. Dawson wrote that she was alone when she had the termination. In the book she wrote that this was her first experience with depression — a battle she continued to fight for the next 14 years[1]."

The human conscience is incredibly powerful. It drives people to drink, to "religion"(which doesn't help), and to the tragedy of suicide. I believe one of the reasons so many women are so militant about abortion, is that they are still trying to justify the killing of their unborn. If they can somehow show that abortion is the right of women and not murder, then there's no reason to feel the pangs of guilt.

That's why we need to proclaim the Gospel to this world. These people need repentance and faith in Jesus, because they have taken the life of another human being. The moment they are born-again, God will wash them clean of all sin and of the guilt that plagued them. Every Christian knows that through experience.
