Margaret Sparrow (Letters, March 31), blows her whole ‘pro-choice’ argument out of the water in one half-sentence. She says, “...the rates of mental health problems
for women with an unwanted pregnancy were the same whether they had an abortion
or gave birth.”
In other words, women’s mental health is not improved by having an
abortion. But hang on. 98% of abortions in New Zealand are performed on the
grounds that the woman’s mental health will be adversely affected by giving
birth.
The whole ‘pro-choice’ argument (for starters, why is
having an abortion more of a choice than having a baby?) is a sham, and as an
intelligent woman and medical professional Sparrow knows it.
