Their stories, contrary to the societal and cultural messages of​“choice” and​“agency”, tell us that too many abortion decisions have been driven by fear and a felt reality of no choice – other than abortion. We know that every pregnancy decision directly involves at least two lives: the woman and the unborn baby. We recognise that whatever decision is made, others are impacted too, including the man who fathered the unborn life, family and friends, and the healthcare workers connected through the pregnancy or abortion outcome.
