In a book for and about abortion doulas (people who “emotionally support” women while they have their abortions, under “Tips for Self-Care” it says:
“You are not responsible if she went through with an abortion she ultimately didn’t really want to have.”
Mary Mahoney and Lauren Mitchell The Doulas: Radical Care for Pregnant People (New York: Feminist Press, 2016) 221
Does any woman really WANT an abortion? Shouldn’t we be helping women find alternatives that both they and their baby can live with, rather than encouraging them to do something they can never undo?
