7-1-2016 – A Word to the Wise: In 35 years of counseling, half of which were in a state mental institution (as a therapist, not as my wife suspects, a patient), I have never had a person spontaneously admit to having an abortion. The self-shame attached to this act is severe. The reason of omission cannot be the presence of the therapist. Clients’ admit to everything else. Nor is the silence limited to the women who get abortions. Doctors, nurses, and others working in this atmosphere of death are very reluctant to admit this as a livelihood.
