There is constant debate on the legality of abortion and if it should be allowed or not. The truth is no matter where you stand morally on the issue, illegal abortion is unsafe abortion. Around the world, in countries where abortion is illegal, it remains a leading cause of maternal death. An estimated 68,000 women worldwide die each year from unsafe abortions (National Abortion Federation). Women should be allowed to make their own decision on the issue and be able to have safe access to quality healthcare.
