Some countries only allow abortions under certain circumstances. The first two reasons are generally grounds for an abortion even in countries with restrictive abortion laws, and the third, though controversial, is also rather common. Below are some common reasons women have abortions:
Some countries allow abortion only under certain circumstances.
The vast majority of abortions have nothing to do with rare occurrences of pregnancy by rape or incest or threat to the life of the mother. Proponents of abortion, however, frequently cite those situations in order to seek unlimited taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand. When proponents of abortion seek an abortion for "health" reasons, those reasons can include anything from psychological claims to short-term financial issues. ''See, e.g.'', ''[[Doe v. Bolton]]''.
In fact, the average person creates wealth by earning far more money than he or she spends. The average abortion reduces wealth both to the family and to society. Financial considerations are against abortion, not for it.
Millions of Americans work at home and that option is usually available even to single moms. In cases where there really is an inability to care the child, adoption provides a better alternative to abortion.
Aborting disabled children is a form of [[eugenics]] that was popular in the early 1900s (the founder of [[Planned Parenthood]] was a big believer in eugenics) but has since been discredited.
