Anthologies are always difficult to read as a whole. Some of the stories were good, but there were quite a few that I DNFed.
Despite the charity cause, there were only a few that were actually about abortion, I would have liked a lot more because there are so few romance novels that do deal with it.
These ones had a female main character who has had an abortion, the first two in the past and are only talked about, the third actually happens in the course of the story:
Pregnant by the Playboy by Jackie Lau (contemporary)
Experimental Marine Biology by Susannah Nix (contemporary)
The Midwife’s Son by Elizabeth Bright (historical)
Other reproductive issues:
What If I Loved You by Cora Lee (historical) - childfree by choice couple who use a sponge to actively prevent pregnancy
The Mistletoe Trap by Eve Pendle (historical) - male main character's first wife died in childbirth and he's terrified of losing anyone else to it so tries to do a celibate marriage.
And then several of the contemporaries do feature couples who are shown to be using condoms, IUDs or other forms of birth control.
