Abortion is a human right and bodily autonomy

There are many factors that lead to an unwanted pregnancy, and many of those are restrictions put on the people who are able to get pregnant. Often consultations to get one’s tubes tied are turned down for lack of discussion with a partner or requirement for children. Birth control, condoms, and other contraceptive products are not full proof. Biologically humans are a species that have sex for pleasure, not just procreation. Until there are full proof ways to prevent pregnancy by the choice of a single person, the person who is able to get pregnant, abortion is a necessity. Even beyond these situations abortion is a necessity. It is a life saving procedure for those at high risk during birth, it is a way to prevent children from being born into poverty during an era of the US economy steadily getting worse, it is a way to give rape victims control over their own bodies, it is a way for children who have been raped to be allowed to be children again and not parents. You should never require that someone gives birth. That is a human rights violation.
