Introduction
There are so many controversies nowadays in the United States alone, and abortion remains one of the hot topics. “Abortions are very common nowadays. In fact, 3 out of 10 women in the United States have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old” (Abortion, 2014). Abortion is an act of terminating a growing human life within a mother’s womb either medically or surgically. When it comes to abortion there are many different methods to terminate one’s pregnancy.

With the legalization of abortion, many women are getting these procedures done under safe and sterile practice from a certified physicians. The “legalizing” of abortion may not seem like a “right” idea to many people, but if we look at the whole picture, no matter what somewhere someone will get pregnant on “accident” and would want to seek abortion whether it is legal or illegal.
