Changes

'''Illegal Abortions''' are those which are performed contrary to the letter of the law. For example, many states, such as [[Nebraska]] and soon [[Oklahoma]], are passing laws restricting the allowed time period for abortions; thus, the performing of an abortion after this time period would be an illegal procedure.

An '''illegal abortion''' is an abortion which is performed implicitly or explicitly contrary to the law.

The possibility of dangerous "back alley" abortions are commonly cited by [[pro-choice]] advocates as reasons to allow for legal abortions. That is, if the woman is desparate enough, they will use any means possible to terminate the child. This, however, is not a basis for legalizing abortion. As abortion is murder, it is illogical to provide the killers of unborn children with a safe place to do it in.

In the [[United States]], since the famous decision of [[Roe v. Wade]], abortion has been legal. However, many states have began to enact mandates and laws on a local level to prevent abortion. In some states, abortion is illegal after certain time periods, such as [[Nebraska]], and in others, such as [[Oklahoma]], mothers are required to see certain information before they can receive an abortion.

 

[[Pro-choice]] advocates argue that part of the reason abortions should be made legal is to allow for pregnant women to terminate their pregnancies in safe conditions. This, however, is not a valid basis for legalizing abortions. Abortion is murder, and thus it is illogical to provide the killers of unborn children with a safe place to do it in.
