From a woman who had an abortion:
“If it hadn’t been legal, I probably would have had the baby then because I wouldn’t have wanted to risk putting my health in any risk… If it wouldn’t have been legal I probably just would just gone ahead and made the decision to have the baby.”
Sumi Hoshiko Our Choices: Women’s Personal Decisions about Abortion (New York: Harrington Park Press, 1993) 90
Many women would not have illegal abortions if legal abortions weren’t available. This is only one example.
