4. Almost every anti-choice woman I've talked to
has either had an abortion and abortion guilt, or knows someone who had an abortion and then abortion guilt.

I think this is a failing of the religious left. Those of us who fall into that category have supported choice but have not provided enough (or any) post-counseling for the women who may experience a kind of survivor's guilt. As if the women's body was separate from her soul/psyche. Our failure to address the long-term spiritual and psychological well-being of women who have had abortions left void which the religious right was all-too-willing to fill with their own warped spirituality, propaganda, and agenda.
