Patricia Neal wrote about her abortion in her memoir As I Am. She so regretted it. She said she wished that she had had her baby even though it was a result of an illicit affair, as Ingrid Bergman and Loretta Young did in similar situations. She said that years later, her late boyfriends wife( Mrs. Gary Cooper) even told her she wished she’d had the baby!
Men are kind of weird in that way; they (I believe) are fundamentally against abortion, but sometimes single mothers have problems finding a nice guy (as is often mentioned).
