23 % of all abortions in the United States are done because of fear of not having enough baby items, that is about 300,000 abortions a year.
Crisis Pregnancy Centers seek to supply those needs, but abortion supporters attack those centers for doing so.
What kind of real choice is that to abort because of fear?

This survey by Alan Guttmacher Institute shows the rate for having an abortion for not having baby supplies as 21% :

Planned Parenthood supplies NO Baby items nor help to obtain baby items. If you do not believe me ask them.

Although I doubt your statistic, I will tell you that pro-choice is pro-death. If you have ever been to planned parenthood, you would see that they do not promote choice...they absolutely promote abortion.
I even have a friend who went into Planned parenthood to ask about giving her baby up for adoption, and they did all they could to convince her that abortion was a better idea, and she would always wonder about the child if she gave it up, but with abortion, it was over. They denied that some women who have abortions feel guilt for years, or even for the rest of thier life. If attempting to convince young women to abort rather than give for adoption is not pro-death, what is? By the way, this is not hearsay. She was so upset, I went in with her and ripped them a new one.
She was smart...she stuck with adoption, and she knows that she made the right choice.
Cynical...there are a lot of women who have come out about how biased Planned parenthood is in favor of abortion over adoption. They ARE pro-death.

Would you mind documenting your premise?
I do know of several places being picketed or a firebombed and doctors being killed, but those were all places that performed abortions, and they were done by radical anti choice activists, I just haven't seen any news stories about what you are talking about.
Please clarify.
We all know there is a great deal of difference of opinion of abortion, but this question has an unsubstantiated fact and an accusation about the destruction of Crisis Pregnancy Centers by prochoice people. What has Planned Parenthood got to do with the question?
All that is required is a bit of proof, like where did you get the stat, and the article about the destruction of the center.
Not being having baby supplies isn't quite the same thing as can't afford a child which I assume is what you are referring to as they don't have a column for what you are calling it.. A years supply of diapers isn't going to help a minimum wage earner in the second year, or the third, or the thirteenth year of a growing childs life. Planned Parenthood doesn't give out baby supplies because thats not what it does, its not a charity for babies, its a birth control and womens health center. I'd still like to see the attack on the Crisis Center.

Link? No, they don't. Planned Parenthood has counselors that talk to the women and ask if they really sure of getting an abortion. They talk to them about adoption and how organizations can help them with costs. They are Pro-Choice in every sense of the word. Where did you even get your facts? Seems to me like another pro-lifer with a lame attempt.
Open thoughts- Many women have also said that Planned Parenthood was helpful and informative. They counsel them and made sure they knew that abortion wasn't the only alternative.

I think you may be generalizing a bit. When you use the figure 23% in relation to "items", this term encompasses quite an expanse. Also, I support freedom of choice, not abortion, and wouldn't consider "attacking" any organization offering an honest, and affirmative alternative.

Pro choice sounds better than pro abortion, which sounds like they would be against birth.

Show your source for that fact. I find it hard to believe someone would have an abortion for fear of not having enough things.

No. They are pro abortion. They deny this of course, but listen to their rhetoric.

Finally someone who sees the "Pro-Choice" for who they really are, "Pro-Killing".

Pro-Choice = Murder. Call it what it is.
