Abortion is not what anyone wants to do. It is a surgery with all the risks of surgery, it is a pregnancy that is ended, these women know that they are ending a chance at having a child. But I have known many MANY women in this life who have abortions personally (over 20). I have considered abortion for myself and am greatful that I had the option legally. They also know that for many GOOD reason they decide not to continue the pregnancy, some have severe health problems, some have no family or fathers support, some are very young, some were raped, they all decided on abortion because it was what was right for them. They couldn't raise the child and they couldn't give it away always wondering for their whole life if that child was going to be hurt, abused, mistreated, neglected. We don't live in a very child friendly world, too many bad things happen these days. It is the woman's body that has to go thru the painful process of pregnancy and birth. Being a woman that went thru the process of being pregnant and alone and a single mom from the time I was 6 weeks pregnant till my son was a year old, I know just how painful it is to have a baby alone-it is something I would never wish on anyone. It is every woman's right to decide and choose for herself whether or not to keep a pregnancy, it is her uterus, her body, her life. Abortion is a woman's very personal choice, it needs to stay personal. Unless you are the woman having the abortion, it is not for you to prevent or decide upon, it is her personal choice. Same for all her other reproductive rights to good healthcare, birth control, sterilization. It is NOT a political topic, it is a personal decision between a woman and her doctor about what goes on INSIDE HER BODY
