We're a long way from the tribal village type community that would just raise a child that would otherwise be unwanted. In this day and age dads to be sometimes run scarce, and even when they don't often both mom and dad need to work to support a child, it's hard times. Thanks for giving some food back :) I imagine a lack of community and/or support is probably why many women do choose abortion, you’re right.
