    Sadly women who have an abortion are often judged as can be seen by some of the comments here. They need to grieve though so by saying they had a miscarriage they can.

    Well look at the judgement on this thread am I going to make a really difficult decision which I may struggle with and need counselling for and then open myself up to be judged and criticised? No it would be self preservation.

    I don't think lying about an aborted baby by saying it was a miscarriage is the way to go though.

    For your information I am pro choice.

    I'm not saying I condone lying merely I can understand why someone would feel they need to.

    If you are pro choice then you must also be pro choice on how the woman deals with it :)

    There is no excuse for telling lies to gain sympathy.
