It occurs to me that had she been unable to get an abortion (for whatever reason) that she might still have committed suicide, citing her reason as being alone and pregnant.
Or she might have delivered and then been plunged deeper into depression by postpartum and then have killed herself and/or the babies.
We will never know now, of course. But I see this more as an example of mental health care needing to be more accessible than a pro-life vs pro-choice issue.
