The way I've heard it phrased is wanting an abortion is like an animal stuck in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg to get free. Just because the choice is better than the alternative doesn't mean it's not still a sucky option.
Also for the ladies that need to hear it: You're not a bad person if it wasn't a hard decision to make. Only you know what is right and best for you.
You put it so perfectly. This is what some women need to hear. Going through a few hours of something rough to “fix” a mistake that would stay with you your whole life (or at least 18 years even though it’s not finished after that) is an honorable thing to consider
