One woman who had an abortion says:
“My decision to have an abortion was a decision I made to care for the child that was within me. To adopt that child would be more cruel to me than just ending it, because it’s giving the child no help. It’s like saying “Well, it’s not my problem.” My decision to abort will affect my child in a humane manner, because I’ve got my child’s interests at heart. That is why I decided to terminate, for that child’s sake.”
Quoted in Leslie Cannold “The Abortion Myth: Feminism, Morality and the Hard Choices Women Make” (Middletown, Connecticut: Wesleyan University Press, 1998) p xviii
