have you ever actually talked to a woman who's had an abortion, or who's had friends or relatives that have had them? have you ever talked to a fifteen-year-old girl, scared out of her wits, who got knocked up by her boyfriend when he poked holes in the condoms he used so that she'd get pregnant and she'd never to be able to leave him? have you ever talked to a woman who got abandoned by her husband who promised to be there for her forever, and now she's got no income and no support and can't land a job because she's going to have to take maternity leave soon if she keeps the fetus? or a woman who's pushing thirty and being pressured to have a baby by her family and her husband and even her co-workers because otherwise she'll be too old soon, and just sort of smiles and says nothing when they start in on the nagging because she just plain doesn't want a baby and doesn't even think she'll be a good mom?

first one was my niece, second one is one of my co-workers, third one is my sister.
