There are many women who have choices to make in life that can be difficult or easy. One very difficult decision is whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. Most people should think before they act. If a woman has to terminate a pregnancy, it is because she wasn’t planning to get pregnant or because she did not use birth control. Women of today sometimes make the wrong choices when they are with their boyfriends.

People who get abortions, do it because they feel that they made a mistake or because they are too young to have a baby. If that’s the case, then more should be told about pregnancy and abortion.

Some women would like for their boyfriend or their husband to share the responsibility with them on the decision of going for the abortion. The partner may want to be there with her so he can help her through the tough times. She may feel depressed, she may regret what she did and the both of them may actually feel guilty.
