Minnie said:The woman is very important to her family ...present and future .
You have never been more correct.
As a mother of 4 who had two miscarriages I understand hard choices and putting my born children first.
I understand how important my health was to my children when they were little.
I understand how important their well being was to me.
Please, though the roles of mother and father are different, neither is more m important than the other. you know that.
I do think I am more of a realist then you seem to be.

You not only devalue the woman but you devalue the unborn if all you care about is numbers.
As I said , there is proof women have been having abortions since the early Greek days when they were much more dangers and 2 lives
( both the woman and her unborn ) often were both lost instead of just the life of unborn. Since Roe v Wade may choose abortion and yet before the present pregnacy or later in life under different circumstances may choose to become a mother.
That you wish to ignore that fact is why I don’t consider you a realist .
I know for a fact over 60 percent of women who have abortions have at least 1 child they are raising.
The easiest thing for a women who doesn’t care is to do is nothing.

. There was a greater than five-fold increase in the proportion of babies born with NAS from 2004 to 2014, whenan estimated 32,000 infants were born with NAS/NOWS —equivalent to one baby suffering from opioid withdrawal born approximately every 15 minutes. Newborns with NAS/NOWS are more likely than other babies to also have low birthweight and respiratory complications. Nationally, rates of opioid use disorder at delivery hospitalization more than quadrupled during 1999–2014, to 6.5 per 1000 births in 2014. In 2014, $563M were spent on costs for treatment of NAS/NOWS; the majority of these charges (82%) were paid by state Medicaid programs, reflecting the greater tendency of mothers using opioids during pregnancy to be from lower-income communities. The rising frequency (and costs) of drug withdrawal in newborns points to the need for measures to reduce antenatal exposure to opioids
