When our son was born my sister rang me to thank me, which seemed odd until
she explained that that would mean our Mum would stop getting on her case to "provide"
grandchildren.
My sister has gone on, without having children, to have an extremely rich and satisfying life.
And as to abortions: the whole thought of them makes me want to scream: but I do realise that
under certain circumstances they may be a necessary evil, so I will be the last person to condemn
anyone for having an abortion.
But using abortion as a form of contraception is horrible.
