I'm totally pro-choice. I don't think my values (or anybody else's) should be imposed on all women everywhere. I try very hard not to judge others.
My ex-husband was totally pro-life. He believes that he doesn't know anybody who has ever had an abortion. In fact, he doesn't know that some of his buddies' wives have had them, both before and during their marriages.
This poses an interesting question though... how many women do you know personally who have had abortions? I have had four close friends have abortions that I know of. Tons of my patients when I worked in psych had abortions, but I won't count them. So, of the women who have confided in me, who I considered close friends at the time, I know five.
