Married women view abortion as lesser evil

Last week, the media ran a story about women and abortions. The article cited a research by Marie Stopes that indicated that about a quarter of the women procuring abortions in Kenya are either married, living with someone or cohabiting. The research also found out that half of the pregnancies among married women are either mistimes or unwanted. Some people expressed shock about these facts since for them abortions are preserve of single ladies.
