I think that is skewing the thing. Women are being----- we take in messages from the environment around us that say "you are not going to be able to mind this child or cope with this". It is a kind of undermining of women and women feel very ill-equipped. All they can see as a solution to the predicament is abortion. They think, "at least it is done, it is over, there is a certain outcome to that, I will be relieved of all responsibility".
