Finance against: Medical and Lifestyle Expenses
Transition: Financial issues arrive from a plethora of avenues and abortion plants itself firmly in these problems.
Abortions can increase finances concerning medical bills.
The side effects of abortion will cause financial damage and ripples in bank accounts. An example of a financial burden is an increase in drug use with those that have previously had an abortion. According to David Reardon of the Elliot Institute, in 2013, 49 percent of women after an abortion reported an increased amount of drug use.

Legalizing abortion nationally is extremely important because a national mandate ensures regulated, clean clinics that do not compromise a woman with an unwanted pregnancies health.
