113. The ONLY woman I have ever known to have had an abortion
was my aunt. It was in 1945 (was illegal then) and she was a MARRIED woman of 45 and a grandmother to a 2 year old girl. She was starting menopause. Yes, it was her HUSBAND'S child. Neither of them wanted to be parents again. She was a middle class woman who had enough MONEY and connections to pay her OB/GYN to say she needed a therapeutic abortion because of her "serious heart condition".
Women with the financial means ALWAYS had a way to get an abortion. It was the POOR who were forced to have kids they didn't want and couldn't afford. Making abortion illegal now will change none of these facts.
