| Anti-Choicers Choose | Abortion is extremely individual decision that many women are convinced they'll never have to think about until they're abruptly faced with an unplanned pregnancy. But this can happen to everyone, including women who are powerfully anti-choice. So what does an anti-choice woman do when she has an unwanted pregnancy herself? Frequently, she will grin and bear it, so to speak, but often, she chooses the solution she would reject to other women – abortion.
Look through several stories collected from abortion doctors of different countries.
 “I have performed quite a few abortions on women who have on a regular basis picketed my clinics, including a 16 year old schoolgirl who came back to picket the day after her abortion. During her entire reside at the clinic, we thought that she was not fairly right, but there were no real warning bells. She persisted the abortion was her idea and made us believe that all was ok. She underwent the procedure very easily and was discharged without any problems. A quite routine operation. Next morning she was with her mother and several school mates in front of the clinic with the usual anti posters and chants. It appears that she got the abortion she needed and still displayed the appropriate anti views expected of her by her parents, teachers, and peers”.
“I've had several incidents over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had explained in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that actually made an impression was the college senior who was the president of her campus Right-to-Life organization, meaning that she had worked very hard in that organization for several years. As I was finishing her procedure, I asked what she planned to do about her high office in the RTL organization. Her reply was a wide-eyed, “You're not going to tell them, are you!?” When ensured that I was not, she breathed a sigh of relief, explaining how important that position was to her and how she wouldn't want this to interfere with it”.
“Lately, we had a patient who had given a history of being a 'pro-life' campaigner, but who had decided to have an abortion. She was pleasing to me and our first conversation was jointly respectful. Afterward, she told someone on my staff that she thought abortion is murder, that she is a murderer, and that she is murdering her baby. Therefore before the procedure, I asked her if she thought abortion is murder – the answer was yes. I asked her if she thought I am a murderer, and if she thought I would be murdering her baby, and she said yes. But murder is a crime, and murderers are executed. Is this a crime? Her reply was: “Well, it should be”. At that time, she became angry, and the result of the talk was that she considered me as an abortion-distribution machine, and how dare I ask her what she thinks. I explained her that I do not perform abortions for women who consider me as a murderer or people who are angry at me. After this I declined to provide her with medical care. And now I do not know whether she found someone else to do her abortion.”
