The thing I don't get about Lily Allen having an abortion is...

How would she ever think she doesn't have the resources for a child in her life?

Up to her Matt. She does not value children much.
@SW-User thing is - children aren't the only way a person can contribute to society or find meaning in life .
I thought socially we had grown beyond valuing women only for their ability to bear children ?

@OogieBoogie yes, I hope so.

But in many societies they are not regarded of equal worth.
@SW-User that is true .
But she's a first world person, already contributing more than many of us ever will.

She's worked hard to make it in the field she has chosen.

We have 8 billion humans in this world, surely one less isn't gonna break the bank on humanity ?🤷
Surely deciding not to have a child could also be considered a sacrifice ?
It's not like we need more people .
