I believe that "informed" should mean just that--knowing all of the relevant facts. A woman seeking to terminate her pregnancy should be made aware of when unique DNA is created, and what that actually means. She should be made to see (NOT given the opportunity--made to see) a 3D ultrasound of the child growing within her. In addition to the "counseling" she might be offered at the abortion clinic, she should be made to speak with two women: one who has had an abortion and suffers no psychological side effects and one who has had an abortion and lives with the anguishing, horrific mental and emotional subterfuge which follows in the majority of cases. Guess which woman is easier to come by?
Unfortunately, women facing unplanned pregnancies get counseling ONLY from an abortionist, someone who has absolutely no interest whatsoever in a woman's well-being. All they see are $$$.
I agree, many who seek abortons have become desensitized that they do not recognize (or care in some cases) that which resides in them is a human life; I wonder how many of them know that the Roe in Roe Vs Wade - 1)has come out fiercely against abortion and says that she was used by abortion rights feminists and 2) never had the abortion the case was concerning and that potential abortion is now a happy and healthy adult.
