Abortion: Legal or Illegal

Technically abortions was supposed to be done for those women, who either was to unhealthy to go through the labor process to have a child, and would most likely suffer from it or die, or the child that would be born, would be too unhealthy to live long enough to have a full life. That, or the mother was forced to have the pregnancy by a third party.

If the mother doesn't want a child, and both the mother and baby is healthy, abortion is akin to denying life to someone that would be capable to having a good long life, their life.

The abortion itself affects the mother's health, due to aborting the fetus and needing to remove the remainder of it from the body. That is rather unhealthy in itself.

Granted, it is the decision of the mother ultimately.

Though, who wouldn't want to give up the child to adoption? There are people who want children, but aren't capable of having children.
