It might be taken that way. Certainly she expresses the pain and sorrow and regret associated with having an abortion. But I'm not sure that it can really be considered "anti-abortion." There is too much of a sense that she felt she had no other options ("the crime was other than mine"; "even in my deliberateness I was not deliberate") I think it is better thought of as a realistic rendering of the guilt and sadness that any woman would like feel under these circumstance. After all, nobody is really "pro-abortion" are they? Some women find themselves in circumstances where they have to make a agonizing choice. I think that's what Brooks captures.
