Erica Jong is “appalled abortion is under attack” but wouldn’t have one

Erica Jong said in an article she was:

“appalled that abortion remains under attack.”

But at the same time, she expresses reservations about abortion. She says:

“As a 17-year-old freshman at Barnhard, I got my first diaphragm from Planned Parenthood (a college tradition). I never got pregnant accidentally because I knew that an abortion would make me terribly sad. I loved children, dogs, cats and other living things, and I understood that terminating a pregnancy would be extremely hard for me emotionally.”

Does she understand that abortion is killing a “living thing?” If so, why does she support it?
