No, my story asks the question, just haw many woman get an abortion because, well they feel like having kids, but do not want to go througha pregnancy.
I'm sorry I don't get your question? They WANT children but decide to have an abortion?
I'm reminded again how different the states is from the Britain (not the uk). While there is some debate about when a person should be able to get an abortion, there is not much debate in the form of if.
Generally abortions are not difficult to get here but there can be a slight wait, so some people go private (I paid for a couple to help out some friends).
The law here says:
quote:
In England, Wales and Scotland abortion is legal under 24 weeks of pregnancy if two doctors agree that it is necessary for one of the following reasons:
* having the baby would harm the woman's mental or physical health more than having the abortion. This involves the woman explaining how she feels about the pregnancy to a doctor.
* having the baby would harm the mental or physical health of any children she already has.
An abortion is also legal at any time in pregnancy if two doctors agree that:
* the abortion is necessary to save the woman's life or prevent serious permanent harm to her mental or physical health, or
* there is a high risk that the baby would be seriously handicapped.

Re: Missed Point
Yep - one of my friends is from Ireland - she was on the first boat over.
I think we tend to forgot here (at our peril) that the fundies still have some reach in mainland europe.
