3. I knew a woman who got a legal abortion while extrememly wanting to have baby instead also
She chose the abortion though. She was pregnant with twins and miscarried 1. Rather than waiting for the other to be expelled, as her OBGYN said was happening, she decided she'd get an abortion, get it over with, heal and try again. After talking with her doctor more, she decided she could wait another couple days "just in case", then started bleeding and came back for the abortion.

I know another woman who really wanted another child, but was 50 and wouldn't risk having a Downs Syndrome child that would end up in a home in 20 yrs when she got too old to care for him/her. She was sad too.

There are lots of reasons, but having the option of a legal rather than illegal abortion is a very important thing.
