Rich women will always have trained doctors who will help with their abortions for a price. However, without legal abortions, poor women will revert to back alleys and coat hangers. Many people who are pro-life dismiss the detrimental effects that unwanted pregnancies can have on families. These divorces can be traumatic and harmful to children. Safe abortions, on the other hand, allow women to have children when they are prepared to take care of their children and build a family.
Unwanted kids suffer.
Many states have welfare laws that either limit the number of children welfare will cover or decrease the amount of money provided for each successive child. Many of the same people who demand these limits on welfare are against abortion. Instead of saving lives, prohibiting abortion kills. Today, abortion is one of the most common medical procedure women in this country seek from health care providers, and the 1.5 million women each year who have abortions will not lose the need for an abortion because the government tells them they no longer control their own bodies.
