they have been lied to for three plus deacdes
First of all, let me say that I'm as pro-life as they come, but I think I can answer your question. Or at least I can give a few reasons why they don't let the child live. First of all, being pregnant is not the most pleasant thing for many of us. I've had four children and I had night and day sickness for all nine months each time. I was even vomiting the week I gave birth to my third child. Believe me, if I knew what I was in for and didn't want to be pregnant and had no scruples or an understanding that I would be killing my child, I'd have an abortion. All this to say that "letting the child live" is a sacrifice. It's not always easy. I'm not making excuses for people who do get abortions, but I'm trying to explain why they might do so.
Secondly, I spoke to my brother's girlfriend once about an abortion she had. I couldn't believe how flip she was about it. Her comment to me was, "Hey, if I wasn't going to raise that baby, no one else was, either!" That's pretty sick, if you ask me.
But, not wanting to go through with the pregnancy is probably just being selfish. In our society, we don't think we should have to suffer, even if we have done wrong. We think only of ourselves.
just glimpses at the eternity that faces each of them if they refuse to repent.
Isai 8-9 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Hebr 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

...Sadly enough, statistically speaking and I have to say this very carefully, statistically speaking women who have had abortions are less likely to bond to their children, and therefore these children are more likely to be abused and neglected. Also, women who were abused and neglected as children are more likely to have abortions. And I can tell you that wherever I have said this, in whatever kind of an audience, people have become really quite upset, sometimes very angry. But I think I can say that having done the research now over a number of years and published a number of papers, that that is a statistically significant connection. That is not to say that every mother who has an abortion is a bad mother, just not true. But it does say that this is something we had better look into, because people are very concerned about rising rates of child abuse, neglect. So that is one area. And that is how it got started.

Detrimental Effects of Abortion: An Annotated Bibliography with Commentary (3rd Edition). This expanded and newly updated edition is the most complete summary available of statistically significant studies on abortion. Compiled by attorney and post-abortion expert Thomas W. Strahan.
Elliot Institute director, David C. Reardon, Ph.D., one of the nation's leading experts on post-abortion issues is asking pro-life advocates around the country to donate copies of Detrimental Effects of Abortion to their local public, high school, and university libraries.
Though Reardon works full time on post-abortion research, he says Strahan's earlier bibliographies have always been his first reference source whenever he begins a new research project.
"Tom Strahan has performed a great service in tracking down all the best studies and organizing their finding in a way that is easily accessible to the average reader," Dr. Reardon said. "Without it, the task of searching for this material on the Internet or in a reference library would be overwhelming. Many of the best studies are simply not indexed under the keywords you would normally expect to find abortion complications."
Strahan edits The Research Bulletin for the Association for Interdisciplinary Research in Values and Social Change and has written numerous articles on abortion. He hopes this revised and expanded reference book will help people to better understand the range of risks associated with abortion.
"Most people think that because abortion is legal, it's safe for women, period," Strahan said. "They think that as long as the government says it's okay, then it must be good for our society. They don't realize that many researchers and scholars studying this issue have found that just the opposite is true." Best Reference Book on Abortion Complications Updated and ...
