Pro-choice writer Cara J. Marianna compiled a book of women’s stories about abortion. She refers to one woman, Barbara, who had mixed thoughts before her abortion:
“Barbara indicated that she thought abortion was wrong, even though she knew it was right for her. ‘I remember I kept thinking, ‘Am I really killing a baby? Is this really, you know, a full grown [baby]?””
