I've always wondered if women would still attempt to get abortions if they were illegal. If they would still have as much sex as before when abortions were legal or if they would try to follow the law as much as possible and cut down on sex to cause less babies.
Abstinence is the only sure way of never getting pregnant but the amount of virgins or people who have had sex and stopped are quite low. No one wants to give up sex or have less of it. We'd rather deal with the reprecautions or get abortions and give our kids up for adoption instead. It's not to say that those are both bad options but that either one of these methods wouldn't be needed if people cut down on sex.
I don't believe that women would die of unsafe abortions any more than they die now from abortions performed safely by doctors. From prior readings before this blog I read that even though abortions aren't illegal in this country and many other ones that people are still getting abortions done in unsafe ways such as not at an actual office, or by a doctor that is no longer able or aloud to practice. Theirfore people are getting sick, dying or becoming unfertile in order to keep their secrets hidden or keep a few dollars in their pockets.
I'm not saying that I couldnt see myself never getting an abortion but to get an unsafe abortion because they're made illegal and the circumstances were ones that I couldn't handle than I too would be one of the women getting an unsafe abortion and hoping things turn out ok in the long run.
Not all abortions show side affects or cause immediate deaths. Their may be a case where a woman has an abortion and then misses her check up appointment or gets a "back alley" abortion and then never finds out that she has some parts of her baby still left inside her. Things like left over body parts, abortions done the wrong way, procedures done at an inappropriate time such as when the mother is too far along can cause death of the mother or very serious injury later causing the mother to become infertile or other serious health issues.
Being in this age I can appreciate procedures such as abortion regardless if I would or wouldn't get one. It gives women another option to a sad sorry or a situation that wasn't planned. Its also a good idea simply because some mothers aren't ready to become mothers. Women forced to become mothers can be both positive and negative. Positive because mothers like myself were motivated even more to get and keep my life in order and make sure that myself and my family eventually have a secure future. The negative point of view tends to be that mothers who aren't ready abuse their kids emotionally and physically, become depressed, make decisions for their kids that aren't appropriate, make decisions around their kids that can affect them, and even create an environment for a child to feel unloved and unwanted just because they were born into the wrong family.
Keeping abortions legal is a good thing for most women, will women die of unsafe abortions if they become illegal? Yes quite a few
Could you? [could you, be one of those women who would still get the procedure if need be if it was illegal]
