Wow. Very evocative.

I know women who've lost children to miscarriages. They keep these little ones in their hearts and mourn for the rest of their lives. Imagine a woman who has an elective abortion and later in life, or perhaps when she passes to the next life, realizes what she has done.

Katherine, Remorse often comes much sooner than later & I think that is what Martin Hudáček is getting at.

Aside from the subject matter, there's a technical factor that blows me away. That child is blown glass, for crying out loud.

As to your update: Yes, I believe that women who have elective abortions often suffer long-lasting emotional damage. It was a baby, and they know it, although they try to pretend otherwise.
