Women who have abortions want other women to have abortions

From a woman who had an abortion:

“One friend was particularly good. She had recently had an abortion herself, and really nannied me along. Looking back, I now wonder if in some curious way she wanted me to have an abortion because she had had one. I don’t mean this maliciously; I think her help was genuinely well-intentioned, but human nature being what it is, there is always this pressure to make you conform: the married want you to be married, the divorced want you to be divorced. Mothers want you to have babies, abortees want you to have an abortion.”

Former abortion clinic director Abby Johnson estimates that 70% of all women who work at abortion clinics have had abortions themselves. Does this play a role in their desire to see other women have abortions?
