It is not a child you are going to kill. It is a fetus that totally dependent on the body of the woman for its life support. This leads to the infamous question: where does life begin? Each single religion has its own interpretation. Ditto for the medical field
The bare point is: Women get pregnant, and have the responsibility of childbirth… Why aren’t we trusted with this legacy? Abortion should be legal as a choice and a right that we deserve to be given… knowing that we are not going to use it recklessly. We are far from being careless people

well indeed some do that. In freedom of choice countries, if the parents disagree it is the woman’s view that prevails because she physically bears the child and is more directly affected by the pregnancy.

It remains a personal choice with the huge responsibility it encloses. The pg woman has to assume the whole responsibility of this pregnancy with all it consequences.
Naturally there will always be an infinitesimal number of women that are immature. But as awful as this could seem, we still cannot force them to keep an unwanted child. There can always seek an illegal abortion.

Given fact: Laws have never stopped abortion, but only relegated it to back-alley butchers. Ironically, countries with restrictive abortion laws have a significant number of illegal abortions. 40% of abortions performed annually worldwide are illegal and unsafe (keeping in mind that the UN institutes and NGOs couldn’t keep track of all illegal ones!)

Nope! Couldn’t be more wrong… Especially With the new generation of birth control, such as “the morning after pill” which can prevent unintended pregnancy after unsafe sex, the number of abortions performed for “less then serious reasons” are quite minimal

You’re entitled to your opinion, but I hope you and the 35.71% will change your mind for the sake of women's! I firmly believe that Access to Abortion is a matter of responsibility, CHoice and Right. It is also an effective deterrent to illegal and unsafe back-alley abortions

This last line of the quote refers to contraception not abortion as Margaret Sanger was the 1st activist for birth control
No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body.
No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother. Margaret Sanger
