other than in extreme, extreme cases there is no reason to support abortion...none. Women have already been given a choice and a solution to prevent pregnancy.
Unsupportable by he facts. You may not agree with most of the reasons, but you clearly overlooked several legitimate reasons.
Which render your 'none' null and void.
Quote:
The decision to continue your pregnancy or to end it is very personal.
Each year, nearly 1.2 million American women have an abortion to end a pregnancy.2
The most common reasons women consider abortion are:
• Birth control (contraceptive) failure. Over half of all women who have an abortion used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant.2
•Inability to support or care for a child.
•To end an unwanted pregnancy.
•To prevent the birth of a child with birth defects or severe medical problems. Such defects are often unknown until routine second-trimester tests are done.
•Pregnancy resulting from rape or incest.
•Physical or mental conditions that endanger the woman's health if the pregnancy is continued.
In the United States, 9 out of 10 abortions are performed in the first 12 weeks (first trimester) of pregnancy. Most of these are done within the first 9 weeks of pregnancy.2
Very few abortions are done after 16 weeks of pregnancy. But some women have to delay abortions because they have trouble with paying for, finding, or traveling to an abortion specialist.
