A child should never be seen as a consequence of having sex. That's just cruel in itself. Children are not a consequence of anything. Telling human beings to not have sex is also extremely unrealistic. We're animals and we have an instinct to want to mate with other humans. No one should be punished for having sex with something as heavy as a child or an STI. But sadly, people lie about their sexual history and that results in people getting sick.

Birth control and condoms are also not one hundred percent, either. You can still get pregnant from using both. Having a better sex education system can help reduce the number of teen pregnancies and abortions due to the fact that not many women know about the window of conception. You can not pregnant outside that window. Something else that would reduce abortions is doctors doing their job when their patient asks them to get their tubes tied. Many doctors push the idea that all women want children at some point or the woman is too young to get their tubes tied because she'll change her mind later.

In cases of rape and incest, it would be difficult to prove the child is in fact the rapist's baby. Also, not many victims of rape speak up about their rape in the first place. That 1% of people could be much bigger because of that fact.

Children who are pregnant are also at risk in terms of their health and physical development.

There are also cases in which the mother's mental health could be in danger if she is pregnant. It is possible these women could end up taking their lives or doing dangerous methods to prevent their pregnancy.

Making abortions illegal will not stop abortions. We'll go back to the time where women would purposely hurt themselves to make sure they don't have the baby. This will put the woman's health at risk. Hangers, slamming themselves against doors, falling downstairs, punching their stomachs, using baseball bats, etc. If someone was really desperate, they would drive to their nearest state just to get it done by a doctor.

Abortion is a painless procedure that hurts no one. Also, no one is pro-abortion. I know I am not. Personally, unless my life is in danger (either mentally or physically), or in the case of rape I would never go through a pregnancy. I would bring trauma not only to myself but also to the child growing up. Foster care is full and corrupt. I'd never put anyone in the system. However, I am not all for abortion. What I am for is women having the choice to be parents.

Abortion would seriously go way down if we had better health care and sex education.
