Given how traumatic the abortion process can be (many women find just going to a gynocologist traumatic), do you really think women would prefer to go through that more than once rather than take a pill each day or use a condom?

That's part of the point I'm making about the use/misuse of abortion amongst some women. Those who've thought it all through no I am certain they don't do it lightly. But I do think there's a fair proportion of women (mainly younger) who indulge in unprotected sex without thinking much about anything - including HIV/STD's, the risk of pregnancy or indeed to proper use of the contraceptive pill. For these women possibly the thought (misconception even, pardon the pun) that there's always an abortion if the worst happens ("but of course it won't happen to me will it") is a factor in their rather reckless behaviour.
