I think Headless Pixie and Hansmoleman both miss the point. Now, it has been said that women often get abortions when they are abandoned by the disgusting little pr!cks that got them knocked up. However, even when women are in allegedly stable relationships, there is the issue of husbands that threaten to divorce their wives or boyfiends that threaten to walk out on their girlfriends if they get pregnant again or if they refuse to abort. So, for something that was supposed to have been this great liberating thing for women, something that was supposed to let women f*ck like a man, to enjoy a good roll in the hay and then abandon the consequences, just as men have been doing for thousands of years, it appears that there is a very large element of economic coercion of women by men. And, of course, in many of these allegedly stable relationships, they are maybe not so stable as the outside world thinks. Perhaps, the allegedly stable husband is an abusive pr!ck and the woman does not want his baby.
