Should Abortion be Restricted?
There is a great deal of debate surrounding the issue of abortion, and opinions on whether
or not it should be restricted vary greatly. Some people believe that abortion should be com-
pletely unrestricted, while others argue for more limited access to the procedure. A variety of factors, including medical and economic factors, play a role in determining whether or not a pol-
icy is a good one. There are also many different opinions on the most appropriate way to restrict abortions. “The issue of life is not a political issue, nor is it a policy issue. It’s a definitional is-
sue. It's a basic core issue.” (Rubio 113). Some people believe that limiting access to abortions is
not enough; they also believe that women should have access to other reproductive health ser-
vices that they might not be able to afford. Others argue that access to abortions should be limited for only those women who are in danger of dying or becoming severely disabled as a result of their pregnancies. Other opinions on
abortion differ significantly from one another. One theory states that abortion should be banned because it is an unwanted form of contraception, whereas others argue that the procedure is not harmful in any way. ”Not a single example was provided where women had been provided a less
safe atmosphere in the existing clinical setting today than they would receive in that setting.” ( Davis 118).

There are many different types of abortions that can be performed in different circumstances. Women choose these procedures depending on a number of factors, including the
circumstances in which they are pregnant, the type of pregnancy they have, and the risks associated with each method. For example, some women may choose to have an abortion if they are at risk of becoming seriously ill or if they believe that their pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. In other cases, the woman may choose to terminate the pregnancy if she is unable to care for the baby due to low income or being homeless. Some women may choose to terminate their pregnancies due to the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth. Other women may decide to terminate their pregnancies if they have a condition that makes it unsafe for them to continue with the pregnancy. Some women will choose to have an abortion if they do not want to raise a child who will have an adult personality and life experience. Many women will choose to have an abortion if they are unwilling to raise a child with serious physical or emotional disabilities.
In conclusion like mentioned above, there are a number of different factors that influence a woman's decision to have an abortion. These factors can range from social to personal factors. Even if you don’t agree with the reasons a woman has to get an abortion, you should still leave it
to her for the right to have one. If you restrict having abortion it will limit the access to having one.
