Women who are unsure what to do are strongly encouraged to take more time to decide. The few women who are ambivalent about their decision to have an abortion are counseled carefully to make sure they understand their decision and take responsibility for it, as far as possible. Some of these women ultimately decide to have their babies, but many return later with a strong resolve to have an abortion. Women are generally counseled alone to ensure they are freely choosing abortion. Many of these women have probably decided to carry to term.
Abortion is a simple and extremely safe procedure with a very low complication rate.
It does not cause excessive pain or bleeding, infertility, future miscarriages, breast cancer, or child abuse. It rarely leads to long-term psychological problems. The pro-choice movement and abortion providers are in the business of protecting and respecting women's human rights, their moral autonomy, and their choices. We want every mother to be willing and every child to be wanted.
