1. I knew one such woman.

She was a coworker of mine. She was very active in the anti abortion movement. She was living with her fiance and helping to support the two of them while he was in college preparing to go on for a law degree.

She knew that I am pro choice, so she took me aside one day and asked if I knew of a clinic where she could get an abortion. I was stunned and asked her why she would do that when she was anti choice. She said that having a baby at that point in their lives would destroy their future. She said that she still opposed abortion, but that theirs was an exceptional case. Claimed that she was "not like those other women who are irresponsible and promiscuous." She was responsible, had future plans that she and her fiance were working hard to carry out, and that she used birth control but it had failed her.

I knew that there was no place in our small city that would do an abortion, although it was legal, and suggested that she look into another city.

She did get her abortion, told me that she felt so relieved, but continued her anti abirtion work.

I could not understand her hypocrisy.
