One of the problems of this issue is that nobody who has one ever talks about it... I can relate.
My wife and I had an elective abortion almost 10 years ago. I've only told one person - she's told nobody. While we have zero regrets (and several other healthy children) it was a difficult period and made more challenging by having to do it without any external support.
Thankfully here in Calgary an abortion is safe, legal and easily available. Every women should have that same opportunity.
Somebody you know has had an abortion and they've probably never told you. So be mindful of that fact when discussing the issue. Some of our family members have said just horrible things - i don't know that I'll ever forgive them.
