I thought that this was a very well-reasoned, well-explained article on the differences between pro-life women and pro-choice women. You hit the nail on the head: it is about fear. And the part about men is right on the money as well -- more men are pro-abortion than women. The fear they have of being tied down "forever" just because they had a little recreational sex is a very real fear.

I also agree about the perceptions that we in the pro-life movement are too judgemental, too accusatory, "see, I told you so!" when a woman has sex and gets pregnant. We need to support these women so they have the structure to keep or give their baby up for adoption. The "easy" solution of abortion will end in pain and heartache for the would-be mother, but it might take years to realize the empty spot in her heart is a black mark on her soul, and it is harder to forgive yourself for your sins than it is to ask God for forgiveness.
