Abortions should be banned

Medical abortion is not OK. It is a human inside growing. The baby is not the one to blame. Medical abortion is a procedure that kills the fetus inside of the mom.

Abortion was banned in 30 states until 1973 (when the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade.) Now the mom can have an abortion early in the pregnancy, but it’s often banned in later trimesters.

Abortion should be banned altogether. Many babies die each year in the United States due to abortions.
