Yesterday a 21 year old woman stepped into my office. After taking her information and getting to know her a little bit, I asked what she planned to do with her pregnancy. She looked at me and said "I would love to get an abortion". I did a double-take. You would love to get an abortion? Yes, woman ask for them all the time, but I'd never heard it phrased this way before. I was dumbfounded.
So we talked for a long time. About the procedure, about the risk, about the emotional trauma, and the resentment it creates between couples. After she had been with me for over an hour, she finally said "I don't think I would love to get one anymore. What do I do now?"
