I doubt many here would agree with my point of view. BUT I would not push my ideas on anyone either. That is one of the problems that I have with this issue.
When I first knew I was pregnant I did not go to my Dr until about 3 months along since we did not have good health insurance until then. My Dr asked if we'd planned this pregnancy and the answer was no. Then he asked if we wanted the baby and the answer was yes. Both my husband and I were working, I had a bachelors degree and a good job. We had an apartment in a good part of town and we had health insurance. We were in one of the best situations to have a baby. BUT - my Dr asked me repeatedly if I wanted to terminate. He asked me at more than one appointment. I don't know what his agenda was but I believe that if you've asked a person a question twice and they resolutely say NO you should not ask again. I felt like he WANTED me to abort.
I wish there were stronger restrictions on repeat abortions. I've known women who used it as a form of birth control. They didn't bother with condoms or pills and slept with every guy they could get ahold of. She didn't care about her body or her children that she DID have. She did not desire to protect her body. She was too lazy to deal with the consequences of her promiscuous irresponsible lifestyle. She had 4 repeat abortions and 4 other children in foster care. I wish there was some way at that point to have her sterilized. She was 30 and should have learned by then how to use birthcontrol.
