I know a couple of people who regret having had abortions. I also know someone who had one, and was glad she did.

I know people who had unplanned children and were happy for it. I also know people who had unplanned children who deeply resented and poorly parented those children, and at least one who privately admitted that if she could go back and do it over, she would have an abortion.

It's not a simple decision any way you look at it, and the fact that someone has misgivings or regrets about the abortion does not mean that they might not ultimately think that it was still the best choice for them. There are some situations in life where there really is no happy winning option.
