Rather than ask a question that is WAY too personal, I will ask how many people actually KNOW someone who has had an abortion?

Yes, I do know a few women who have had abortions. They all had very tough times deciding whether or not to go through with it, but at least they had options to consider. They each went into the procedure knowing that it was best for them and for their future families that they not be saddled with an unwanted baby at that point in their lives.
On a more personal note, I do know people who made the decision to keep their unplanned children even though it drastically changed their lives at a very young age. My mother was one of them; she was 16 when she had me. I know it was an extremely difficult choice for her and I know she considered aborting me, but I'm glad that she was able to decide for herself whether or not she wanted to have me. At least that way, I have never felt like she regretted me or like I was a mistake; if she had been forced into it, my life could have turned out very differently. My mom is definitely my hero.
