According to Random House Webster’s College Dictionary, abortion is defined as "the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy" (4). Since the early 1900’s, abortion has been a highly controversial topic in society. However, the first monumental case concerning abortion, Roe v. Wade, wasn’t until 1973. In this case, a woman by the name of Roe took the law dealing with abortions to court.

Abortion will remain a common practice in the United States and all over the world even if it is banned. In the 1800s women used coat hangers in order to perform home abortions. This was not only extremely unsafe but also deadly. That is why it is necessary for abortion to remain legal. It is essential to make abortion available for those who cannot afford to have them. It is also very important to spread the information of where and how a woman can obtain methods of birth control. No matter what anyone says, it is and will always be a woman's right to choose whether she wants to have an abortion or not.

One of the reasons is unready for responsibility, and “can’t afford baby now”. A young mother would have to drop out of school and either get minimum wage paying job or go on Welfare. In this case, the mother may feel the need to abort in order to protect her unborn child from a life of poverty. Abortion is performed for medical reasons as well. A mother's body may not be ready to have a child, and as a result, she may die during birth. There are also certain diseases, such as AIDS, that would be passed on to the child if the woman were to have it (Planned Parenthood). Abortion should be an option to all women, no matter what the government, society or anyone else believes because what a woman does with her body is her business and her choice.
