In reply to the discussion: Abortion: Not easy, not sorry [View all]Kath1

I would have had the same situation with my very intolerant Catholic parents. There would have been absolutely no comfort or guidance. Abortion was the first thing that came to my mind. Had I actually been pregnant, I have no doubt I would have terminated it. My guess is that a lot of girls have abortions just because of the reactions they would get from their religious parents. And I think that really sucks.
