Abortions should be as accessible as needed. As rare as needed. Same as appendectomies.
I am confused about part of what you write. You wrote:
I didn't say what you seem to think I said. I said if a woman has multiple abortions, it might be that there is a psychological issue at play. I stand by that statement. It MIGHT be, mightn't it? Of course it could. And it probably is. Women typically don't keep making the same mistake again and again, unless there's a reason for repeatedly getting pregnant when you think you don't want to be.
yet you talk about yourself having had multiple abortions. I am confused as to if you including yourself in that bit then.
Of course if a woman does anything, it might be there is a psychological issue at play. If she buys shoes. If she drinks coffee every day. If she never gets her teeth cleaned.
That word "might" is a powerful qualifier, since one could write anything and if called on it, say "oh, I said 'might'".
