Many American Women Have Felt Pressured into Abortions, Study Finds - PRI
The study, published recently in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, found that nearly three-quarters (73.8%) of women with a history of abortion surveyed admitted that they experienced at least subtle forms of pressure to terminate their pregnancies.
More than half of the women reported that the perceived pressure was great enough to significantly influence their decision to abort. Of the 987 women surveyed, more than half (58.3%) indicated that they decided to abort in order to make others happy. Nearly 30% of survey respondents admitted that they were afraid that they would lose their partner if they failed to terminate their pregnancy.
Further underlining the fact that choosing abortion is contrary women’s natural instincts, the study also found that two-thirds of the women (66%) knew in their hearts that abortion was wrong. Many women (67.5%) said that the decision to terminate their pregnancies was one of the hardest decisions of their lives.
Sounds about right. This Progressive death loving culture that forces God out of class rooms and embraces some 300 people overdosing on drugs every day instead while doing nothing to stop the drugs coming across the border that is causing it is simply the status quo now.
Did I mention all the school shootings?
As society delves farther into secularism, it will only get worse.
All this hand wringing and woe. Where's the mandated maternity leave that would give them job security? The USA is the only first world country that doesn't give pregnant women paid maternity leave and job security. No universal health care for poor women or their babies either. No subsidized child care for poor families. Nothing to support poor women having babies at all.
80% of all women who have abortions cite financial reasons for having the abortion, and live at or just above the poverty line. A lot more of these women would have their babies, if they could keep their jobs, had health care, and child care available to them.
Stop pretending you care about these women and their babies, when you give these women NOTHING to help them keep their babies.
