Were you 15 or 20 something and unmarried? Was it an unplanned pregnancy or a planned pregnancy where you already had a job?

Nice try at deflection though.
That's a flat out LIE!

From the study, under Data and Methods:

"Our sample consists of single female respondents who are not trying to have a child. Married women are excluded from our sample because being married is likely to influence the steps taken towards childbearing."

It doesn't matter. I was puking my guts up AND worked full time. Millions of women do exactly the same every year.

Poor people ain’t got no financial literacy. They ain’t got no health literacy either.

That’s why they’re poor.

Rich folks get abortions because they know how daunting the task at hand is. Plus they’re literate in finances and health care.

So sue me, I got it backwards.

In any case, it is not representative of the total population of women and their varied circumstances.

Of course it matters lol. Married women with planned pregnancies and a job themselves are generally not considering abortion.

As to women who can easily afford to have a baby having the highest unplanned pregnancy abortion rate... That's exactly how we know they're CONVENIENCE abortions. It's not a hardship for them to have a child, it's just an inconvenience.

Having and raising a child is a hardship regardless of finances.

We've got people out there that wanted to have children drowning their own kids when they get overwhelmed.

914,000 a year? Can you provide proof for that? That's how many convenience abortion killings there are per year: 914,000.

Proof that raising children is hard and fundamentally transforms your life?
