Useing your logic a women shouldn't be allowed the morning after pill either because her thinking might not be rational. Perhaps in a few days or weeks she would regret her decision. She is responsible for her actions and people who HATE abortion shouldn't be forced to help pay for her choices.

Ethically a nurse is duty bound to educate and provide information to the client who is then able to make up their own mind. Just because they don't decide to do what you want them to do doesn't mean that they are not educated or that they feel pressured. If there is someone who is looking into getting an abortion I don't think that they really need to be pressured in order to have the abortion, they are already inquiring about the service by their own free will.
Also using my logic that you shouldn't tell someone how to react after being raped means that someone is going to be irrational? No I am saying that people have different reactions to a traumatic situation and that is understandable. People at the best of times don't all think the exact same way - let alone people in crisis.
Also if you hate abortion, don't get one. But just because you HATE something and know how to use capslock doesn't mean you have the right to tell other people what they should and should not do with their own body. Fact of the matter is - this isn't about economics at all but it is about trying to convince fewer women to have abortions, regardless of circumstance, because that is more conducive to your views.
