It drives me bananas when I read that everyone must feel horrible, depressed and ravaged over her decision to abort. It was 100% the right thing for me to do as a teenager. I was then able to finish college, get my Masters, get married and have two wonderful kids who are being raised by two loving, financially independent, educated parents. None of that would have happened if I'd not had an abortion. So, yes, sometimes it's a good idea and sometimes it's a bad idea to abort. Legalizing it or outlawing it are both pointless. Women will do what they need to do, whether the govt tells them one thing or another.
