They also may not be financially prepared to have a child. They could be unemployed, so they need all the money they can get for food and shelter. They may be attending school and want to do well in life. If they have a baby they would probably have to drop out of school to take care of the baby. A final reason people may have an abortion is if they are informed that their child has physical defects or may be mentally challenged.
Abortion is a very volatile topic.
I appreciate the fact that the laws have changed to make abortions legal and therefore people have the right to make a choice. I feel, however, that this choice should be made after much thought and consideration as to what would be the best interest for myself and the unborn child. I realize people have very strong opinions on both sides of this issue. Others may disagree with my view but this is my opinion.
