"Why are you having an abortion?"

Woman:  "The man is not my husband."

Anti-abortion worker:  "If you love each other why not see the pregnancy through and decide who will raise it?"

Woman:  "He is married, too.  This was a mistake.  Neither of us want to complicate our lives with an unwanted pregnancy.  I refuse the ultrasound and I want an abortion now."


A 1994 study in the United States, (click title to entry - thank you) which looked at the number of sexual partners in a lifetime, found that 20% of heterosexual men had 1, 55% had 2–20, and 25% had 20 or more.

In 1994, a study in the United States found that almost all married heterosexual women reported having sexual contact only with their husbands, and unmarried women almost always reported having no more than one sexual partner in the past three months. Lesbians who had a long-term partner reported having fewer outside partners than heterosexual women.  More recent research, however, contradicts the assertion that heterosexual women are largely monogamous. A 2002 study estimated that 45% to 55% of married heterosexual women engage in sexual relationships outside of their marriage.  While the estimates for heterosexual males in the same study were greater (50%-60%), nevertheless the data indicate that a significant portion of married heterosexual women have or have had sexual partners other than their spouse.
