Where is the compassion? Studies show that women that have had abortion are NOT upset about their choice, they are upset by society's judgement. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31941577/ Conclusions: These results add to the scientific evidence that emotions about an abortion are associated with personal and social context, and are not a product of the abortion procedure itself. Findings challenge the rationale for policies regulating access to abortion that are premised on emotional harm claims.
Buddhism reconnects our hearts in compassion. Imagine women suffering MISCARRIAGE or ABORTION in a common sacred sorrow. Kuyo rituals are an ancient format of Japanese Buddhist practice. Compassion is for a departed child spirit. The idea that life is suffering is one of the essential truths of Buddhism. It can bring people some peace. It's about compassion. To me this is true grace.
