Men and Abortion

Agree entirely. Baby steps!

Here’s what Kevin Burke, who’s long worked with postabortive women and men told me last year:

“Man’s innate role as defender/protector/provider to his children — which I would argue is as biologically intrinsic as that of a mother’s need to nurture her child — is gravely violated by participation in abortion,” Burke tells me. “Men do not always recognize the symptoms they experience as having their roots in an abortion decision — but scratch the surface and you will see it. … They may struggle to make commitments, to be emotionally present to their current wives and children, to embrace their role as spiritual and moral leader in the home … deep down they know they compromised that authority when they aborted their son or daughter in the past.”
