[quote=Anonymous]Also, until the US joins the rest of the civilized world and passes better family leave policies and anti-discrimination laws, women who are pregnant will continue to face discrimination in the workplace and many women will continue to have no paid maternity leave.  Not to mention the ridiculous cost of daycare, which creates hardships for some women who need to provide for their families after the birth of a child.  These are issues that are difficult even for those of us who have wanted pregnancies! Now imagine having to face these economic burdens as a pregnant, single, lower income woman.  Unwanted pregnancies can have life-long financial consequences for women.  The man who impregnated her doesn't have to worry about losing his job, or not having any paid time off to recover from giving birth.  If our society actually valued children and working families, perhaps the abortion rate would go down because a surprise pregnancy wouldn't have such a lasting financial impact on women.[/quote]
