Women’s views on abortion

May 25, 2017 by Andrea Mrozek Leave a Comment

A little known fact is that women tend hold pro-life attitudes. A poll from the UK shows the following results:

 

  • 70% of women would like the current time limit for abortion to be lowered
  • 59% of women would like the abortion time limit lowered to 16 weeks or lower
  • Only 1% want the abortion time limit raised to birth
  • 93% of women want independent abortion counselling introduced
  • 79% of general population want a five-day consideration period before abortion
  • 84% of women want improved pregnancy support for women in crisis
  • 70% of parents want introduction of parental consent for girls 15 and under to get abortions

Most interesting to me are these results:

  • 93% of women want independent abortion counselling introduced
  • 79% of general population want a five-day consideration period before abortion
  • 84% of women want improved pregnancy support for women in crisis

This speaks to an internal conflict in women that happens in an unplanned pregnancy. Yes, women can be trusted to make their own decisions. But we’re not robots. Most women are susceptible to the environment and people around us. Independent counselling at a crisis moment could really help sift through anxiety and various pressures. The time lag makes sense too, though, by default, this can never be long enough. I very often consider in my own life how an abortion at age 20 might have made sense but by age 40, it would make no sense at all. Our own perspectives shift over time. This is the problem with abortion–we can’t go back on the decision. So yes to counselling, and yes to a waiting period–I can definitely see why women would believe these are important.
