From one woman who had an abortion and regretted it.
The more I thought about being pregnant, I realized there was a life in me, and I wanted to give birth to it. But my husband told me, “Either you have an abortion, or leave you. You can raise it by yourself, because I don’t want any more children.” Not being strong enough to do what was right, and to afraid to go it alone, I gave in.”
David C, Reardon: Aborted Women: Silent No More (Westchester, Illinois: Crossway books, 1987) p.31.
A survey of women who had abortions done by Reardon showed that well over half felt pressured into having an abortion by someone else, most commonly the baby’s father.
