Despite the significant factors mentioned above, opponents of the abortion procedure believe otherwise. They argue for keeping abortion in California in order for women to have a say about what they can do with their bodies and it would only do more good than harm. To validate their point, opponents argue that women have the right to choose whether they want to seek an abortion or not. By having that choice, abortion empowers women because it gives them control over their own bodies. Women’s rights shouldn’t be taken away and as the saying goes that it’s her body, it’s her choice, it goes to what’s right for the mother and not to “restrict a woman's decision-making ability and allow politicians to make decisions for her,” says the ACLU's Leveille.
