at least none of the ones I've spoken to about it...

"Hey, I'm going to get pregnant so I can get an abortion. I've always wanted to have one"

Not something you hear said a lot.

The same goes for the claim that some women use abortion as their primary form of birth control. I don't know any women who do that.
