Why do you think that there is a deafening silence about abortion and it's negative health effects on women?
Could it be that abortion is the perfect 'poster child' for the materialistic and humanistic world view that we are masters of our own bodies, rather than stewards of them?
Could it have anything to do with the fact that abortion is a very profitable business?
Could it be because it is really difficult to admit that the tune you've been singing for the past 30 years - that it's safe and harmless - is in fact wrong?
Could it be that it's just too hard to fix the real reason women get abortions - the lack of support to continue the pregnancy?
And why, do we hear over and over again, that it's about choice? Because all the women I have spoken too who have had abortions have done so because their doctor has essentially said - you don't have a choice.
You're too young to have this baby. Adoption is too emotionally messy. You are all alone. Raising a child will be too difficult for you. You should really consider an abortion.
A doctor who spoke at the Pro-woman, Pro-life Forum last week was encouraged in her work by a 40 year old woman who said she had an abortion 23 years ago and there is not a day that goes by that she doesn't think about. She said when she really thinks about it, she drinks herself under the table.

Have to agree... Ironically, the early Feminists actually fought against abortion saying it was violence against women.
"Abortion" is not a new issue though. Infanticide is basically the same thing (or at least very simliar) as abortion and happened thousands of years ago. Abortion is in many ways a more sophisticated and tecnhologically advanced form of infanticide.
I agree with Zab that there are many factors that explain the prevelance of abortion, but they are not all products of modernity.
cause silence is easy
