Abortion
The topic of abortion has many controversies because people tend to choose different sides. People who support abortion or believes that it is a woman’s right to choose if she want to have a baby or not are known as Pro-choice supporters. On the other hand, people who do not want abortion even when a women get raped, and get pregnant of rapist child are known as Pro-life supporters. Women who are not ready to be a mother should have a choice of getting an abortion without being judged. Women who get pregnant unintentionally, and pregnancy is surprise for them should have an access towards abortion. There could be so many different reason of why women would choose to have an abortion, including
They are the one who from very young age start doing crime for various reasons. They might choose the path of crime in order to put food on table because usually these children are from low income households, and are raised by single mothers. Since they are usually raised by single mothers, who most likely did not have enough time to spend with their children because they had to work a lot of hours, these kids are very violent and lack morality. Unwanted child and crime rate has a direct relation. They more unwanted children a state has, the higher its crime rate will be. John Donohue, a law professor at Stanford Law School and economist widely known for his writings on effect of legalized abortion on crime, and was president of the American Law and Economics Association in 2012 states in his article “The Impact of Legalization of Abortion on Crime”

Even though it is more expensive to get abortion in second-trimester, but still in long run it is better for taxpayers if poor woman get abortion. If she do not get aid from welfare to get abortion then she will more likely give birth to baby. Then the taxpayers will have to pay for that food stamp, and medical care until child reach the age of eighteen. According to analysis provided by The Alan Guttmacher Institute in article “Induced Abortion in the United States” states that each tax dollar spent to pay for abortion for poor woman, saves about four dollars in public welfare and medical
