Women's Right to Abortion

I think every woman should have the right to abortion. If women are denied the right it could result in child abuse, living in poverty, or severe deformity for the child.

Some women are not ready for a child. If they are forced to have one, they could end up resenting them for taking their freedom, the extra responsibility, and the costs of having a child. This can result in child abuse.

If a woman is not working, and doesn't have any special skills, she may not be able to support the baby. The cost of daycare is rising all the time. Mother and child would probably end up living in poverty.

If a woman has done drugs early in the pregnancy, the baby could be born with a limb or limbs missing. It could have brain damage. The baby could have Down's Syndrome and the child would be abnormal. It would be harder emotionally and financially.

Overall, I feel that if women are denied abortion it could result in more deaths of children and starvation. Children grow up with problems, because of not being wanted. It could also result in accidental deaths of women trying to give themselves abortion.
