34. You're overlooking the denial factor. When I was younger, I didn't know any young woman who hadn't had an abortion.
When I was younger, I didn't know any woman that had had an abortion. It was a shameful thing to do, and it should still be.
I graduated from high school the summer before Roe vs. Wade was handed down. So it wasn't remarkable that in high school I didn't know a girl who had had an abortion. That said, I was 35 or older when I first met a woman who had had an abortion. As for when I was in high school, I know of just one girl who got pregnant, and did not know any kid whose parents were divorced or had never married.
I know ... eeeee--vile times ...
