Top 10 Anti-Abortion Myths

[kag]

16. I have another one...

My son once stopped at a pro-lifers table at a fair we were attending, just to ask them questions and get "the other side of the story" from my own and my husband's. One of the first things he was told was...

"Most women who get abortions regret it later in life."

When he told me this I almost spat out the lemonade I was drinking. I asked him if they had any research to back that up, and of course they didn't...just apparent "testimonials". But it made me angry that this is how they get people to fear abortion so much--just scare them into thinking that having a child is "easy" and having an abortion is hard and something that you will regret later in life, when for many women just the opposite is true.
