all those anti abortion people that i see i just don't think they can possibly understand what they're talking about, making the hard choices when money doesn't comes easy is not something you can imagine.

Yeah. My mom had one before she had my brother and I. It wasn't strictly medically necessary, but it would have been stillborn, and she might not have been able to have another. 30 years later, my dad (who is pro-life in that unthinking way a lot of people are) still talks about what a "mistake" it was. >_> Mom seems at peace with it, though, but I think my dad would have a completely different opinion if it had been his body. :\

Sometimes, the hard choices come before there even is a pregnancy, when you find a career you love and realize that, for whatever reason, you won't have time to be a mother and a career woman. And sometimes it's just deciding that you don't want to, because that's not the life you want, the adoption centers in the USA are over-flowing, and pregnancy is not precisely risk-free. But it's very, very easy for those people who can afford daycare and university tuition to sit up on their high horses and tell the rest of us what's in our own best interests.
