Why do women have an abortion?
Some women can’t afford a child
Abortion is a very expensive procedure. If you are unmarried and living with your partner, it can be hard to afford the costs of raising a child. Even if you are in a relationship, your partner may not want to have children. In these situations, abortion is an option that makes sense for both parties involved.
Women need to finish school
A woman who wants to finish school may not be able to afford to take time off. For example, she may be unable to pay for living expenses or childcare while she is away from her studies. In addition, the loss of income associated with having an abortion could mean that a woman would need to drop out of school and work full-time instead. Once a woman has dropped out of school and started working full-time, it becomes more difficult for her to attend classes because now she must find child care during the day as well as afterschool care if she attends evening classes.
Many women have children before they finish college; however, even if this is not their situation, many believe that having an abortion will have an adverse effect on their careers later in life. They fear that employers will view them differently when applying for jobs or promotions because they chose not to continue their education after becoming pregnant rather than facing financial hardship by taking time off from work or commuting long distances each day in order to attend class at another location after being accepted into a graduate program at another university.
They don’t have enough money to support their families and a new child
If you are a woman and you have a child, it will cost more than just money. You will have more responsibilities to take care of the baby. You may not be able to go back to school because there is no one else who can help care for your children. If you do get a job after having children, it might pay less than what it did before you had any kids. If a woman cannot afford to support herself and her family, she may feel like abortion is the only option that lets her stay with her family while still being able to provide for them financially.
The woman has health problems that will affect her pregnancy or birth
If you have health problems that will affect your pregnancy or birth, abortion is a safe way to prevent them. Pregnancy can be risky for some women because being pregnant puts pressure on the heart and lungs. Women who are pregnant also may get high blood pressure or diabetes during pregnancy. This can make it difficult for them to stay healthy throughout their pregnancies. Birth can also cause health problems for some women, like tearing of the vagina, infection, diarrhoea from the use of an enema before delivery and haemorrhoids after delivery.
