"I WOULD GIVE UP EVERYTHING..."
Shelley Winters is a celebrated film star who has publicly regretted having abortions. She twice had an abortion. I am a very lonely woman, she confessed. I would give up everything--my money, my Academy Award, my career--if only I could have those children now.
"NOTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD IS WORTH A BABY..."
Gloria Swanson, when she was eighty years old spoke of her remorse over taking her unborn baby's life. Despite her rich, varied and eventful life, she had not forgotten a death that had taken place 55 years earlier :
... I heard a voice speaking very clearly. `Don't do this,'
it said. The voice, I knew, was inside me. It was the voice of my unborn
child. I tried not to listen. `Your heart is pounding,' the voice said,
`I know you hear me. Listen to me. I want to live. I am frightened of the
sewers.' The greatest regret of my life has always been that I didn't have
my baby...nothing in the whole world is worth a baby, I realized as soon
as it was too late...
