It isn't just something that one does and then forgets about it. It can ruin a person's life in more ways than one. I have seen the destruction with my own eyes and it can be heartwrenching.
I cringe when I hear women talk so selfishly - "well it's my body and I'll do with it as I please". What about that tiny body growing inside of you? Doesn't that count? I just don't get it. There are just too many incidences of using abortion as a form of birth control.
And btw, I'm a woman.

I am the OP and a women....never had an abortion myself but as I stated in a previous post I have wondered what I might have done should I have found myself facing that decision. I believe that I personally could not have gone ahead with the abortion. You are right about the repercussions either way, abortion or giving up the child.
If there are just too many incidences of using abortion as a form of birth control we might well have to look at the reasons for that. Historically women had to pay for birth control pills as they were not and now are not covered by insurance.
Here in TV there were some people discussing Obamacare during the discussion a man commented "I don't want to pay for your birth control" followed by a women commenting "I don't want to pay for your Viagra either".
Why shouldn't women be able to have access to affordable birth control including the morning after pill?
