38. I would expect that people who have late-term abortions usually very much wanted the
baby. Why else would they wait? It is relatively easy to have an abortion earlier if you really don't want the baby. And if you have already gone through six or more months of pregnancy and then decide you don't want or can't care for your baby, you can give it up for adoption in the hope that the baby will be loved and cared for. So, there must practically always be a tragic story behind a late-term abortion.

We need to hear more from people who have these abortions. This story is moving. Having nearly lost my own life and that of one of my babies in the final days or weeks of a pregnancy, I have great compassion for these people. There but for the grace of God . . . . That is the way I feel.
