So I see you conveniently ignored my question. I'll ask it again. A large portion of abortions are performed on married women. What do you suggest for them? Should people practice abstinence in marriage also? Even if people do wait until they are married, it won't stop them from getting abortions.
One doesn't have to have children to stay married, but it sure does help bind. We didn't have children, because my spouse already had children from a previous marriage. If not for the kids, it would have been much easier to walk away, during the rough spells, which we all encounter. They have a way of expanding your world, to an awareness of how much your actions affect others.
I would imagine the number of marrieds aborting their children to be quite small.

Yes, when people already have children, it can help keep them together, but that's completely different form bringing children that don't exist yet into the world when you can't support them.
I would imagine the number of marrieds aborting their children to be quite small. It was almost 20% in 2007. It has risen since then.
"Women who have never married and are not cohabiting account for 45% of all abortions" which means the rest are either divorced, married, or cohabiting.
I know of a few married people who've had abortions. Many of them already had children and were in no position to have more. They didn't think it would be fair to the children they already had.

Over 55 million. (That includes residual cost). I think in 2007 the number of actual abortions in the US were around 34 million. And with several million performed per year the number would be higher today.
The residual cost of abortion includes those lives that would exist if the babies had not been aborted. Because those lives would have gone on to have children of their own. Abortion has been legal for so long now that we are into the next generation of lives. Those lives are often not accounted for by pro-abortionists. Nor is there cost and effect on society or even the economy.
The Cost of Abortion
There has got to be a better way.
Yes, I will ignore your questions if they have an insult attached. Why shouldn't I?

I have heard from children in those families and they wonder what it would be like to have a brother or sister or a bigger family. It sometimes causes guilt feelings since their parents kept them and not the others.

Oh brother, you've topped yourself!!!
You claim to know the children of the families in luckynumber4's post!!!!!!
You've "heard from them" ???
And they report to you their innermost feelings!
OH c'mon! How much of that stuff do you expect people to believe???!!!
Why don't you just say how YOU feel and quit interpreting for the rest of the world...

There are some things that children simply do not need to know.
Why a parent would tell a child they had an abortion is beyond me.
Should a child also have guilt feelings if a sibling miscarries? What are you going to do about that? Again, I wouldn't even tell them unless they knew I was pregnant.
I often wondered what it would be like to have had a sister too, or an older brother instead of a younger brother....so what?
I also wondered what it would be like to have NO brother too.

Pissing contest AGAIN? I can't believe you so misunderstand posts.
I have Googled your name and if you are that Annie53 you seem to be a religious woman, etc. And you are on a lot of sites. You can't be so sidetracked as you seem to be here and uncomprehending and post online so much. Well maybe you can. ???

Me too but I am glad I didn't have to know they had been aborted. Who knows how these kids found out. Secrets have a way of getting out.

your point? many "only" children wish for a sibling their parents abortion if they had one has nothing to do with that. some kids from large families want less brothers and sisters or vow to only have one or two children. some vow to never have any children.
Guess you didn't hear about the guy who worked at the drugstore and thought it was hilarious to stick a needle in the condom boxes so they would not work.
What's your problem?

What about people that do not get married until late in life?
What about people that NEVER get married? Do you expect them to be virgins on the day they die?
Good grief......we are not living in a Mother Goose nursery rhyme.....well.....maybe YOU are.
I agree. People need to get back to reality.

Most people get married so they don't need to wait forever. Plus, I never heard of anyone dying for lack of sex. LOL
Do you have friends?
