4. Interesting.

The very vast majority of women who have abortions never regret them.

Some years back I read a book (can't recall author or title, and an attempt at a Google search doesn't turn it up) in which a young woman gets pregnant and then we see two different versions of her life in parallel: one where she has an abortion and goes on to have a decent career, marry, have a couple of kids; and the other in which after going to a crisis pregnancy center is persuaded to have the baby, which she does and decides to keep the daughter and raise her alone.

In this book, what clearly comes out is how the young woman's life narrows incredibly when she has the baby. The father is totally out of the picture and she has to do it all by herself. The other life is by no means perfect, and toward the end there's something bad that happens -- I can no longer recall what -- which clearly would not have happened had she not had the abortion.

Really wish I could recall the name or author.
