The story of a girl who “chose” abortion, in today’s National Post and Ottawa Citizen:
Anna, first, asked her mother whether she would help her, if she had the baby. Her mother flatly refused, saying, “I do not want to waste my life babysitting.” Her male partner said he “wasn’t interested in a kid” and their relationship has since broken up. She tried to get an appointment with her gynecologist to discuss her options, but the first available one was two months away. She then contacted an abortion clinic, which gave her an appointment in two weeks, at which time Anna was nine weeks pregnant. She said, “I went to them to get information on abortion, to know more about my options, the consequences of an abortion. I was open to getting an abortion, because that was what everyone around me recommended I do. I saw abortion as an option, but was really not sure. I was hoping for some answers.”

That prochoice world is really a different world, isn’t it? There really is an unspoken assumption there that unplanned pregnancies are better off aborted, and, if you are in that unfortunate position, you can get swept right along with the current, and end up on the operating table without anyone ever questioning if that is really what you want.
I don’t know what the answer is, but the status quo, where a woman is considered to have given her informed consent to an abortion with her questions gone unanswered, is, frankly, unacceptable. Frankly it’s unacceptable that she had to go to an abortion clinic to look for answers in the first place.
