Why do people have abortions?
In the United States roughly 50 million abortions have been performed. Studies prove that four out of ten unintended pregnancies result in abortion. If the baby is developed eight weeks or more they feel just as much physical pain as you. 93% of abortions occur for social reasons meaning the mother is to young to cope with a child or more than one child. 6% of abortions occur because of health problems with the child or the mother. The last one percent takes place due to rape or incidents of incest. Financial stability also plays an important role in abortion. Women with family incomes less than $15,000 obtain 29% of all abortions worldwide.Family incomes between $15,000 and $29,999 obtain 20, incomes between $30,000 and $59,999 obtain 38% and incomes over $60,000 obtain 14%.
