they look at me as if I have 3 heads.

Sometimes abortion is the best outcome for everyone involved. Why is that so hard for people to wrap their heads around.

And then, when I tell people that I had an abortion without giving it a second thought, and that I have no regrets, and it was the best decision I could have made, they're mystified.

Why? Abortion doesn't need to be a gut-wrenching decision. Maybe for some, but not for everyone.
