Why Women Abort - (One Reason)
Philadelphia, PA (LifeNews.com) -- New details are emerging in a case in which a Pennsylvania man is charged with killing a pregnant woman and her unborn child. Local authorities say Stephen Poaches, the father of the baby, has admitted to killing his girlfriend, LaToyia Figueroa, because she refused to have an abortion.
Stories like the one above seem to be occurring at an alarming rate.
One myth about abortion is that it is "a woman's choice." Sure, sometimes it is her choice and she makes it entirely on her own. But many times women choose abortion because of pressures from the baby's father. Because abortion has been so accepted by our society and because the repercussions of abortion have been so minimized, many men believe it is as inconsequential as a trip to the dentist. When weighed against the seemingly greater consequence of fatherhood, child support payments, etc., these men can be quite adamant that their girlfriend or wife abort when the timing of the pregnancy does not suit them.
LaToyia Figueroa chose to keep her baby in spite of her boyfriend's demand that she have an abortion. LaToyia Figueroa died as a result.
...A woman's choice indeed....
