(From a pro-life woman who believes women are coerced to abort, but not coerced to get pregnant and give birth):

When I was pregnant and told my husband, even though we planned our babies, I still watched his reaction very carefully. If I had one hint of his being a little worried or not happy enough, I would have felt vulnerable and alone.

Men may not be able to appreciate what I am saying -- but what she wants you to do is jump up and down with excitement and lift her in the air and kiss her and tell her everything is going to be okay.

Instead, many men say - okay, what do you think? (wrong words) Or they say - are you going to keep it (uhhh, her heart just sank). Or they say -- it's up to you...it's your body and your choice. I will not stand in your way if you want an abortion. WHAT????????????? He is taking away all responsibility from himself. By saying that he is putting her on her own.

It is horrible. A woman couldn't feel more vulnerable than when she is pregnant. With his so easily agreeing maybe she shouldn't keep the baby (passive aggressive usually), she may feel alone and that she has no other choice but to abort.

Men are often very stupid. That they don't realize this or that men use this against women is maddening.
