That is, the mother is given substances, which puts her into labor and delivers the fetus, as she would do with a full-term baby. About 40 percent of Americans believe that abortion should remain legal and 40 percent believe it should be banned except when the pregnancy threatens the life of the mother or the result of rape or incest. 15 percent believe it should be illegal in all cases. Although abortion is regarded as a woman's right, it should be banned with exceptions because its considered murder has many psychological side effects. Young teens say that when they see a baby it reminds them of their own that they could have had.
Abortion is a woman's own right and choice.
In 1973 the Roe v. Wade decision proved this by recognizing abortion as a fundamental constitutional right and made it legal in all states. The law now permits abortion at the request of the women without any restrictions in the first trimester and some restrictions in the second trimester to protect the women's health. The National Abortion Right Act League argues that without legal abortion women would be denied their constitutional right of privacy and liberty. If abortion were illegal it would force poor women to bear and raise children they can't afford to bring up. It would force young women to raise children when they are still children themselves and would cause many deformities when incest is in involved.
