Since 1760 BC, abortions have been sought-out internationally. There are a variety of reasons for them: because sexually abused women do not desire for guardianship of the child, females do not want their body to be unfit because of pregnancy, or it was a careless mistake that could have been prevented with birth control or any other prevention method. Many women have nonessential abortions. One quintessential example of this is in China; they kill fetuses if the sonogram proves the unborn child to be female. Abortions should be illegal because it is unjust and purposeless slaughter to the unborn human being. In most beliefs, people consider abortions to be unethical and murder to the unborn child.

Facts provide evidence to support, “If destroy us at the earliest stage, you never end up with us at this stage” (Clemmitt). Everyone believes their life is guaranteed, that they will be able to live undisturbed and happily. Marcia Clemmitt stated in an article from 2006, “If you are a full scale human embryo and you are given nurture, you end up, by anybody’s definition, a full-scale human being”.

So if the abortion rate is low, why should society illegalize it? Many people are on either side of this argument; however, on the side fighting pro-choice is the most popular side. People on this side commonly are feminists and people who fight for equality among all genders. A poll states “U.S. abortion rate continues to decline from its peak in 1980, seven years after the Supreme Court established a constitutional right to abortion in Row vs. Wade.”
