Choosing Abortion
An abortion is a voluntary end
to a pregnancy. There
are many reasons why a woman will choose to have an abortion.
If she is not ready to care for another person, does not
have the resources, has a health problem, or her family does not
want her to have the child, then the woman may choose to have an
abortion. Most often
women look to their family, religion, and her partner for support
and advice about the abortion; however, ultimately it is the woman's
decision. Most abortions
take place in the first trimester of a pregnancy.
Early abortions such as these are easier, safer, and cheaper
than late abortions.
