“Rich girls have more abortions.”
I overheard a woman make that statement at one of my favorite coffee shops. I was shocked by the blatant comment and had to find out why she felt that way. I asked and she kindly explained that she feels access to more money and family support can lead to more abortions. Her theory starts with the understanding that young women with Prada purses are no less sexually active then girls with empty purses. She said, “For a wealthy family, a $500 abortion is a quick fix to an embarrassing problem, while women like me would have difficulty coming up with that kind of money quick enough to safely have the procedure. It would take months for me to save that much money!” Then she spoke of the “those girls” in high school and college, and I was left to assume they were wealthy/popular/ones that would not give her the time of day. She explained how they would take “family vacations” during the middle of a school week and everyone knew they were abortion vacations. So I ask, has anyone else ever heard of this theory or is this just the opinion of one angry woman?
