Abortions should be free, safe and available all through the US

Good day. Whenever a number is put into the text in brackets () it is a sources, which will be linked to in the bottom of this. Just so that you all know, I am a she. Firstly, the issue of paying for the abortions. The government should provide abortion clinics, so that they would be more available than it is currently, to the health and good for the women in this country. Those women, who are either denied or unable to have an abortion, because they do not have the money or that an abortion clinic is not available, will go to either more dangerous procedures or will go through with the pregnancy. Both have serious ramifications. If they go to some back alley procedure or self-abort that woman"s life is in possible danger. If they chose to have the child, studies show (1) that those children have a worse life than others do. Secondly, the Con goes to stating, "Who owes anybody an abortion?" I would argue that the government should provide the service. Since I believe that, a woman has a right to get a free and safe abortion. It should be so that a woman should be able to get a free abortion. In addition, most women who have an unplanned pregnancy are from lower income house holdings, meaning they cannot afford one and some may not even be able to travel to a clinic. (2) The Con goes to question the statement of "under any circumstances." Which does not mean within all times or stages of pregnancy, but rather under which circumstances the abortion is being done. Circumstances meaning the reason behind the abortion. An abortion should be available, not matter how the woman got pregnant. Some people argue that abortion should only be available in cases such as rape, incest, life-threatening illness to the child or any other "acceptable reason". I however will argue that no matter the reason, a woman should be able to decide what to do; she does not owe anyone an explanation. Since the majority of abortions are not rape, incest and those listed, but rather financial and responsibility issues (3) Also some would then say that "they can just give the baby up for adoption!" But that can be worse for a woman's mental health than abortion. While women say, within a few years, feels relived and do not regret their abortion (9), the opposite is true for adoption. Here many women feels the "loss" many years after. (8) Now consider the time of the abortion. The trimester and week of which the abortion is preformed is crucial to how you view the abortion. For example within the first few weeks, a fetus is very long from viability, while in week 20 or so the fetus is only a few weeks away from being viable. Lastly, the procedure for abortion changes dramatically for which trimester the fetus is in (4). If it is extremely late abortion the fetus could be only days from viability. Mostly this however not the case 61% of abortions are within the first 9 weeks. (3 again) Now to the matter of "a part of woman"s body". Of cause, a fetus is not a part in the same sense as an organ. However, it is indeed a woman"s body that has to carry and care for this fetus and sometimes even risk their lives for this fetus. They should have a say in whether their bodies will go through 9 months of pregnancy: nausea, weight gain, possible depression and many other side effects (listed in the sources (5, 6) Therefore I see it as a part of a woman"s body in that sense. Some would also argue that the abortion its self will cause mental problems, but that can easily be dismissed by clear evidence. (7) While I do recognize some negative feelings, most women cope with it within resent time. Now, the matter of when a life is a life. I believe that life begins at birth that before a fetus is able to survive outside the mother"s womb that it is not a life. Now let me be clear, I completely understand the possibility of a life. That no matter the stage that fetus could become a person. Nevertheless, in my views I see that life begins at birth. I recognize other people view that life begins at conception, but their views should not effect an entire population of women, who are in desperate need of an abortion. Women have the right to decide what they want their bodies to go through. No matter the reason/circumstance, they became pregnant. Even if some people in the US are against it, which is a valid opinion that I recognize, it should not affect the availability of abortion clinics. This is all why the US should have a clinic available with it being safe and free.
