    However, for the women who couldn't afford to travel out of the country, they were compelled to have unsafe illegal abortions. During the 1950s and 1960s, an estimated number of 200,000-1.2 million illegal abortions per year was the result of the laws surrounding women's reproductive rights.

The strict laws on the procedure can lead to women getting unsafe abortions, as showcased in Roe v.s. Wade. There is not a single person, no matter how pro-life they claim to be, who actually considers a fetus equivalent to an out-of-the-womb child. Also, restrictions

    someone who will make the best possible choices in life and are willing to come to you whenever they need help because they look up to you as their strength and guidance. But, the one thing I don’t understand is why so many parents are killing their babies at the first stage of life, just because they are not ready to become parents. Because I believe if a couple is not ready or is willing to put a baby’s life above their own, they should

    the United States Supreme Court in Roe vs. Wade (410 U.S. 113 (1973)). The case involved a pregnant woman who instituted an action scrutinizing the constitutionality of the Texas abortion laws, which proscribes any abortion save for instances where the same is necessary to save the pregnant woman’s life (“Major Laws Concerning Abortion”).
