"Gee, I don't need to terminate this pregnancy even though my birth control failed and I am in no way wanting to be pregnant or to be a parent at this time!"

Answer MAY NOT INCLUDE:

1. "I'm going to give up almost a year of my life, and take on a highly risky health condition that may permanently disable me if not kill me outright, because I WANT to sacrifice myself and my life to have some adoption mill steal the result of my labor and sell it to the highest bidder."

2. "I haven't got a pot to piss in, and it's likely I won't even be able to keep my job past the 7th month, but through magical thinking in a Sky Daddy and maybe some unicorns too, I'm going to bring a child into my life that I can ill afford, because I WANT to sacrifice myself and my life to struggle against a system against which I will never be able to win and make something of myself, like I had originally planned before my birth control failed."
