Abortion

I think that the amount abortions that go on all over the world are horrible, but I think that it is even worse that in developing countries more than half of the abortions done are unsafe. Abortions done in the United States are safer than those in other countries because they are legal here. While I  think that it would be ideal for abortions to be illegal, I think in doing so, more illegal abortions would take place in the United States.  

There are several ways to help lower the number of abortions in these developing countries.  One way is to give the women access to contraceptives and birth control.  It is only fair for these women to be able to have some control over when they will get pregnant.  If contraceptives are not available, then the chance of getting pregant is much greater.  Also, I think that these people should be more educated about family planning and why abortion is wrong.  I think that some of the women that become pregnant get abortions because they don't know what else to do, when they could give their baby up for adoption instead of aborting it.  Also, while legalizing abortions in developing countries would not help decrease the rate of them taking place, it would decrease the number of unsafe abortions.
