about 70% of women who got on the bus for a sonogram decided not to abort

I would think this statistic is so high only because women who are sure they want an abortion are not going to bother to get a sonogram.

I do think its important that women know that if they do want to carry the pregnancy to term and parent they there is financial, practical and emotional support out there for them to do that, but i certainly don't think that message should be tied up with religious guilt and anti choice rhetoric
