Why do you want an abortion?

I do not want to bear this child.

How did you get pregnant?

I was pressured by my boyfriend/raped/molested by my own father.

Why did that happen?

Because my boyfriend/the guy I went on a date with/a hooded stranger in the park/Daddy didn't feel I should have a choice about what he wanted to do to me.

But you're carrying a living child. Why would you want to kill it?

Every day I bear this child, I am being forced all over again to do something I did not choose.

It's not the child's fault, what happened to you.

It's not MY fault either.


My point is, until conception is ALWAYS a woman's choice (this includes everyone getting adequate, unbiased sex education), we dare not take away her ability to choose to terminate a pregnancy. I will leave to others the arguments involving consensual sex and faulty contraception.
