I disagree, for a lot of people 9 months is a long time, too long. & the time isn't the only issue here. you say it doesn't matter what the woman wants, i also disagree with that. i'd say that what the woman wants is the most important of all the opinions. it's the lesser of two evils aborting a kid that you don't want. my friend recently had a child and the abuse she suffered because of it was horrendous. i know i for one wouldn't put myself through that.. for a child that i didn't want and couldn't look after.
