I cannot tell you exactly how many girls I know who have had an abortion; there are several. The abortion in all the cases I can recall were basically for birth control--at least 2 of the children who were aborted were the result of casual sex with a partner whom they did not know well.
If my question is too intrusive, please, say so: The casual sex "outcome" => how informed were the couple about preventive methods? Age? Drunk? Support from families or not? Do you wish to share with me how the ladies felt before/after the decision and operation?
I'm not asking out of pure curiosity in this case - but your sentence is very short <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> I don't know very young ladies who did that - only females 29/30+. I simply want to understand, not judge.
Same for "birth control" => were preventive methods faulty? Some are safe others not.
I couldn't take oral contraceptiva myself after a few yrs (too strong side effects) - so, I fought 2 yrs for my sterilisation and was turned down by several male docs (sometimes I felt like a witch at a tribunal). I knew I never wanted a child, but they didn't believe me - and they didn't care that I was determined to abort if the catastrophy of pregnancy would happen (meant only for me, ok?). I had a fix relationship when the "catastrophy" happened, a catastrophy I wanted to avoid by sterilisation. Kiya
