71. Well, 2 things: women's suffering because of having an abortion is highly
overstressed. The most common feeling after an abortion is relief. I have known many women who had abortions and only one spoke of her regret. I am sure there are some, but I think that has been blown way out of proportion by the anti-choicers. You probably can check my assertion out if you go to the Alan Guttmacher Institute's website and look around for the latest scientific studies on the subject. AGI is the "gold standard" on research into reproductive issues.

Second, a woman doesn't know how she is going to feel after going through the pregnancy and birth and then giving up the baby. It's not like the movie "Juno." Advocating for this option, therefore, should carry certain caveats...but of course, this ad makes it all seem so easy and comfortable and that's a problem...
