5. Enough money, but not always access.

My Great-Aunt was married to a wealthy man...not a Vanderbilt or anyone like that, but they were pretty well off, but he was an asshole and used to beat her up (from what my mother and her daughter have told me). She found out she was pregnant again with his child and she refused to have the baby. She couldn't find anyone to help her have the abortion, so she tried to do it herself and she bled out. Must've been a horrible way to go, plus knowing that she would be leaving her 7 year old daughter.

I'm not in favor of abortions...except in rape/incest & danger to mother, only because of how many people want to be parents but can't. I'm for adoption first, but I'm vehemently pro-choice! I would never tell someone what to do with their bodies.
