They aren't pro life. They just personally don't want to participate in, or ideologically don't condone it for, contraception and think abortion should be rare. Now faced with it in their backyard, he's open to it, despite not approving of it. His position is, either abort or divorce.
Also consider, this is a position he did his part to avoid, thinking his wife wouldn't fall pregnant, as he was snipped. Obviously now she is, from someone else, but this is on her. He took reasonable precautions to walk the walk on this, but, this was an unexpected avenue to get here, and not directly his fault. And he still doesn't like the option.
It is more nuanced than you are realizing.
It is fair to both not like the idea of abortion, but still accept the necessity of it. This isn't the same as burning down abortion clinics, then using one when that same person finds out they have an unwanted pregnancy.
Hell, for myself, I don't like the idea of abortions, especially for contraception when precautions were not taken, but I vehemently support the right to them.
NO ONE uses Abortions for "contraception" uses. You do realize Abortions cost about $600-$900 dollars in my State? Most women who get them are either for Medical Reasons aka the baby is DEAD inside her. If she has a miscarriage they have to do a DNC which is an abortion. The baby has severe birth defects or a disease where they won't survive.
Raped. Etc. I have never known anyone who got pregnant and just said hey I'm going to March on over and get it done like it's a good old time. They also make you fill out TONS of paperwork, make you incredibly nervous and God forbid you get a religious person.
You are absolutely incorrect on that. Some people do. Is it stupid? Yes. Do people often do stupid things? Also yes.
You can calm down. While I may not like all the reasons some get abortions, I advocate for their absolute right to choose, even if and when I personally find it distasteful. And yes, many abortions are indeed for medical/viability reasons, I am definitely not disputing that.
Cool, but there are many who don't act as the few that you have known. I have personally known people to get abortions because of the sex of the fetuses. I literally know someone that aborted twins because they were male and the would-be mother wanted daughters. I am certainly not saying everyone is as flippant, but some actually are. And it is my position that these should not limit the rights of others who, in my view, are more responsible and respectful about it. Hell, I even still maintain that this particular woman should have had every right to do it. Because it is her body.
Paperwork? Depends on the state. Some are much easier than others. And, again, I support removing barriers to access, including state mandated guilt trips to those pursuing abortion procedures.
Incidentally, the sex can be known before 20 weeks. But, yes, I have known multiple people that have had abortions over the sex of the fetuses, and other, non medical reasons, too. That doesn't mean that abortion rights should cease to exist, nor that those women shouldn't have been allowed to do it.
In the case of the woman that would have had twins, she married into money and was wealthy. She had great access to healthcare.
