"Based on threads I 've been reading here , there is a real tendency among some of the pro-choicers to portray pregnancy as a horrible thing that cause women to suffer -- that it is somthing bad or undesirable . - How could the opportunity to bring a life into the world , a wonderful miracle , be so awful by default ? Rather than bring into this peripheral thoughts to the question , such as rights and legal issues ( which are discussed at length here already in other threads ) , I 'd love to hear straightforward relelvant answers to this . I am also already aware that pregnancy can sometimes involve complications or that it can at times cause financial constraints . But I am mainly interested in seeing why there is a default tendency in pro-choice arguments to argue from the standpoint of pregnancy being a bad thing . Any thoughts ?"
"As others pointed out , this is a misconception . I have little doubt that the great majority of pro-choice people are quite positive about wanted pregnancies . I suspect that this misconseption comes from the fact that almost all abortion discussions are about pregnancies that are not wanted . Pregnancies that are wanted are almost never discussed since they are not relevant to an abortion debate . After all , who would want to abort a fetus if they wanted to be pregnant and have a baby ( excluding rare cases of risk of mother 's death , severely deformed fetus , etc . ) ?"
