It is appalling that they are not. Unwanted pregnancies are devastating for poor women Contrary to what the RW anti-choice crowd would have you believe, most women do not regret abortion. I have friends who had abortions and they have gone on to live very fulfilling and guilt-free lives. In some cases it saved their lives. I cannot believe we still have to have this discussion. God damn, this is 2013, not 1613!
