Women: "I have plans for my life, expecting a baby is not one of them."
Anti-Abortionist: "Why not carry the baby to full term and give it up to adoption by people that are waiting for the opportunity to be parents and love this child?"
Women: "I do not feel comfortable with having a child, it would be embarrassing and complicate my relationship. A relationship that has potential to be a life long relationship. We are not seeking to be parents."
Anti-Abortionist: "But, certainly if he loves you and you explain to him this is important for you to do, he will see it through with you."
Women: "I said the relationship has a potential to longevity of my entire life. I did not say it was a 'given.' The relationship is 'not' in that space where I could take for granted his willingness to see a pregnancy to term to allow for adoption. We never decided on this birth. I will not be undone by a fetus I am not going to parent."
Anti-Abortionist: "But, listen to yourself, you are even entertaining the idea of a full term birth. Albeit, with reservations. But, it is a start to making a decision that will be good for you, the baby and potential parents."
Women: "You don't get it, do you? You have closed your mind to anything but a woman enthralled with pregnancy, birth and parenthood and/or a childhood of the baby somewhere?
You don't realize I am a human being that has a mind capable of discerning what I can tolerate in this life and what I can't. At this time in my life I cannot deal with the idea of a full term pregnancy, I have no support system for being a parent, regardless of the destination of the baby my life would be changed forever.
The fact I have a relationship with a wonderful person I am hoping will become more and how this could radically destroy that does not matter to you.
You don't care that having a child in the world, adopted, that would come to seek their 'real mother' and 'real father' sometime in the future and the complications that brings matters.
You believe all I have to do is realize the best relationship I could have in life is with this fetus. Well, you are wrong. I want my life arranged the way I want it arranged and I don't want anyone else currently born or unborn to complicate it. Now, I refuse the ultrasound and I want the abortion now."
