As far as the game is concerned, once the decision is made, it&#8217;s over. Abortion or bust, apparently, because once you reach a certain point, nowhere is the option &#8220;keep the baby&#8221; provided.<\/p>\n<p>What if the woman does choose to keep the baby?<\/p>\n<p>If she chooses to have the woman keep the baby, then she either still ends up having the abortion because of a partial placental abruption, or she has the baby and ends up sick, in premature labor, and with mountains of debt.<\/p>\n<p>Even in the few &#8220;happy&#8221; scenarios, the game constantly puts pressure on the woman to choose abortion and reconsider keeping the child. The goal is obviously to pressure the &#8220;player&#8221; into choosing abortion no matter what. Considering that women are very often <a href=\"\/news\/too-often-women-are-pressured-to-abort-heres-one-way-to-help-them-fight-back\/\">pressured or coerced into abortion<\/a>, it&#8217;s especially shameful.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is, abortion is not a game. It is a life-or-death decision every single time. To applaud something that trivializes abortion and encourages the taking of a preborn&#8217;s child life is truly disturbing, yet all too indicative of the abortion movement today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember those books that you read as a kid?
