"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 . ) ?"
"Ok , this makes sense . I do think however , that wanted pregnancies should be a part of the abortion debate , even though as you say , they usually are not . Part of the abortion issue ( and the most important part , IMO ) is the perception of pregnancy itself . If society moves in a direction where having a baby is looked upon as a negative thing , this is not good . One way to help make abortion rarer is to help people view having a baby as a positive thing . As Clinton himself once said , abortion should be rare ."
