One pro-choice author said, after an interview of founder of Catholic’s for Free Choice Francis Kissling:
“She had daily hands-on contact with women who were in the process of making the painful and, for some, the traumatic decision to terminate a pregnancy. She listened to the reasons that women wanted abortions, and rarely found them to be frivolous. She also observed that the women who came to her clinic weren’t concerned about their reproductive “rights.” This was something they needed for emotional, physical or economic reasons. There was no political satisfaction in the decision.”
