It's not just Christians who feel guilty about abortion

Mr Lim Dechang, 39, a sales manager (...) said in Mandarin: 'I had just finished national service, and had not found a job yet.

'We felt we were not ready to start a family then. That was about 18 years ago.'

His wife, Mrs Lim, 34, said: 'Deep in my heart, I've never stopped feeling guilty about it.' The couple has a 10-year-old daughter.

Mr Lim said: 'Somehow there was this niggling uneasiness that we couldn't explain.'
