I have not met a SINGLE woman who chose to have an abortion who took it "lightly" in the way you imply.

Those who didn't have access to birth control would have FAR preferred to have had access to the birth control that would have helped them AVOID the pregnancy .

Those who became pregnant after a failure of the inadequate birth control available (e.g., diaphragm or condom), would have MUCH preferred more effective methods.

Those who became pregnant after a rape would have MUCH preferred access to the Morning After pill (which was not available when I grew up).

In my 45 years as an adult on this planet, I do not know ANY FEMALE person who would "choose" abortion as a method of birth control. That is a canard.

If birth control were available at no cost to all female humans capable of becoming pregnant, I can GUARANTEE abortions would be extremely rare indeed.
