My anecdotal abortion observation [View all]

This past week at my place of employment of 20+ years, I was informed two married women are pregnant. One is 32, low-income, and has 5 kids and obviously is in a hard spot already though trying to stay positive. The second is 35, never wanted kids, a manager, and upset. In my decades-long stay (I work to keep active, enjoy it, and have great benefits), I can recall only one other pregnant employee, and that was two years ago. She was part-time and pretty sure she wanted kids.

Anyway, I get the impression from both of these ladies that IF Wisconsin were not restrictive on abortion both would have not continued with the pregnancy. I can't say these will not result in happy post-natal environments. But knowing their situations, it seems there is a chance of less enjoyable outcomes. The manager especially is irritable and has subtle anger. She raised her voice to me recently for the first time and later apologized. I think I know now what may have precipitated her edginess. This is not a good way to run Wisconsin.
