[quote=Anonymous]I think the age differs depending on the child. If they ask, then I think you need to explain. The age will dictate how you discuss it. Your values as well, obviously. I'm pro-choice and my son specifically asked around age 8. I told him that sometimes a woman chooses to end a pregnancy before the baby is born. There are a lot of different reasons for that. Sometimes the baby is very sick and won't live anyway. Sometimes the baby is making the mom very sick. Sometimes the mom doesn't have enough money to raise a baby. And there are many more reasons. He asked if I would have gotten rid of him. Which I think is a very natural question, so be prepared for it. I said no, he was a planned baby and very much wanted. And I have access to excellent health care and made sure both he and I were as healthy as possible. As he gets older he will learn more about the complexities of choice. [/quote]
