“It is clear that the decision to have, or not to have an abortion does not affect the pregnant woman alone. It determines whether or not a new member will be brought into the woman’s family, her living situation, and her community. It’s happenstance to affect a wide range of others, favorably or unfavorably; their welfare and interests are at stake.”
Martha Brandt Batton Quoted in Callahan, Sidney and Daniel, editors “Abortion — Understanding Differences” New York: Plenum Press, 1984, page 90
Abortions are not done in a vacuum – there is a loss to society, a loss to the siblings of the aborted baby, and a loss to the father of the aborted child.
