Reply #14: Part of the entire anti-abortion mindset

[SheilaT]

is that every fetus, accidental or otherwise, must be born. But none of these rabid "pro-lifers" are willing to provide pre-natal care for the mother and baby.

And, as has already been pointed out, it's easy to be in complete denial that you're pregnant. Even women who have already had babies report being unaware they were pregnant until shortly before giving birth. Personally, having been pregnant twice myself, I find those stories a little hard to believe, but nonetheless, if someone who's already had a kid or two and has no reason to be in denial can be unaware she's pregnant, than some younger woman who hasn't been pregnant before and who does not want to be pregnant now, could pretty easily ignore what might otherwise be very obvious signs.
