I’ve always believed that there is no single reason women seek abortions. Think of the reasons as a railroad track. The economic track and the cultural track sometimes move along in parallel but then they join and become one bigger track. There is no way that the economic costs of raising a child dont affect one’s decision to seek an abortion. And those costs aren’t decreasing today. Add cultural reasons -- the “I’m not ready to have a child, even if it is healthy” reasons -- to the economic insecurity

What surprises me is that people would answer that question honestly at this point.
