Women have to carry a child in their womb for about 9 months and within that period she will experience a lot of unwanted changes on her body. Not to mention that after conceiving, she will spend most of her time nurturing that child. If a woman or a couple feels like they aren't ready to take that responsibility, they should be able to have the option of a safe abortion. Not only does pregnancy mess with ones physical, emotional, and mental states, it also takes away a lot of time and money. Making abortion illegal equates to making one's life miserable and leaving a child to suffer with parent(s) who aren't ready to fulfill their supposed role.
