OK, this is me being judgmental.
What can you say about (or to) a person who believes what she's decided is "morally wrong" but is going to do it anyway because the other options would leave her "worse off emotionally"? Sorry, kid, you could have had a life, but I would have felt so bad about having you and then giving you up.
The story points out that, in Indiana, a woman must wait 18 hours for an abortion and receive state-mandated information about her choices in person. I know many people believe this is a terrible imposition on the "right to choose." But the story also quotes the woman in question:
"I found out that I was pregnant and it is definitely unplanned and unintended. I was on birth control at the time," said Renae. "I'm faced with a decision between keeping or aborting (the fetus)."
If you think if it as "a fetus," you've already made up your mind, and a week of haranguing won't change your mind. I know this is a difficult issue, and I'm not quite as anti-choice as you might think. (My belief is that "a person" begins with the development of the brain, before which the state should not be involved and after which it has a legitimate interest). But you have to wonder about what we've come to if terminating even a potential human life and maintaining an emotional even keel have attained moral equivalency.
