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