This is the best article I have yet to read on abortion in the nine year's I've spent in gender studies.
It also reinforces my belief that no woman is likely to undergo (any of) the procedure(s) on a whim, because she didn't feel up to insisting that he wear a condom.
The doctor who spoke about women wanting to cradle the aborted fetus is what really got to me - it's not as if any woman goes into the decision skipping with joy. I also think a good number of women undergo the procedure without guilt, moreover, with the understanding that they're doing the RIGHT THING in a difficult situation.
I've seen lots of babies born to teen mothers in bumblefuck bible belt USA, and IME, those women were the one's acting on a whim. "Oops, guess I'm a mom now." Not a happy situation for those kids, or the mothers once the kids are born.
Don't know about ectopic pregnancies, but MS Magazine had an article around half a year ago about some women whose physicians made them carry their dead in utero babies to term, because inducing labor of the dead fetus would be abortion.
