An abortion is a medical procedure that ends pregnancy. There has been controversy over the topic of abortion. Many believe that it should be illegal and others believe that it should be legal. We believe abortion should be legal in every state because not many women have the financial stability to provide for a child. And other women aren't in the best mental state to support a child. The right to choose abortion is important to a woman's right to decide if, when and with whom she wants to start or grow a family.
