This story is one that is very unusual and that is why it is making news.I hate the false information given in this story about how most women who have one abortion have more. I spoke to my mother who counsels women on abortion at a women's clinic and she says that this is untrue. Most women do not want to have to go through this experience more than once, and will do things differently. The ones that come back for another abortion are usually the ones who have some other mental health or addictions issues going on. Most women do not use abortions as birth control. It is expensive, and emotionally draining on most women to make that choice to have one. Most do not go about this lightly.

I don't feel like she's making a blanket statement of "most" women getting a second and third abortion. It was a study, and the results are going to be very different from one person's experience.

A lot of that book is going to be misconstrued, I think, and this is only the beginning. My impression was that she was trying to shed light on the fact that there *are* women that get more than one abortion, not necessarily that those that do are blase about it or use it as birth control.
