Dr. Warren Hern, who is been performing abortions for more than 35 years, discusses how many women are ambivalent about whether or not to have an abortion:
“Most women who consider having an abortion have many questions about the procedure, as well as mixed feelings about their choice.”

This is why the counseling at abortion clinics can have a huge impact on whether a woman goes through with an abortion. Counseling at clinics is often very biased. This is also why pro-lifers have convinced so many women not to have abortions just by offering them literature at abortion clinics. Women do change their minds. One study showed that up to 55% of women are unsure about having their abortions even up to the moment they submit to the operation.
