We must also do a better job of showing how abortion hurts women. There are reasons women have abortions, and abortion will not end until we eliminate the reasons women have them in the first place. Many truly cannot afford to raise a child. Even those pregnant women who have husbands are often in dire financial straits, and dual-income families are a necessity. Forty million Americans have little or no health care.
Day care is expensive and often unavailable.
Considering all of this, it becomes easier to see why women have abortions. For many, it is the lesser of two or three evils. We in the pro-life community must start to change this. The pro-life left believes that abortion is a symptom not of evil women and greedy abortionists, but it is a symptom of a society that has declared war on children and their mothers. All Americans must have access to quality health care so women can get adequate prenatal care and their children's health can be protected.
