I really think most women would not prefer to have an abortion but choose to do so when they see no other alternative. I wonder how many women, especially young women, are caught up in the present economic situation. I am not talking only about not being able to afford to care for a raise a baby; that is certainly a factor. But the present ... Read Moresituation leaves many people feeling cut off and questioning their self worth and value. Those feelings can lead to some poor choices, hoping to find some point to focus on. Having careless sex or thinking having a baby is somehow the answer may place a young women in what turns out to be a no-win situation.
