I think one of the most hurtful smears handed out to women who get abortions is the idea that most of them are being thoughtless and whimsical about it. I would imagine that most women who have abortions struggle mightily with the decision, both before and after, and I further imagine that only a tiny handful (even less than the tiny handful who do it late-term and/or more than two or three times) can do it without feeling as if it's a big deal. And that's before the anti-choice element gets around to making it a hundred times worse by demonizing them and condemning them for the decision they made.
