The Importance Of Abortion In The United States

Although the United states faces its biggest decline of abortion rate in 2009 at 784,507 abortions as reported to CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), its number is still more than double of an information from Women 's Health and Reproductive Right and Foundation of Thailand, and an organization in Thailand where birth control is non-prescriptive, that presents a number of 300,000 abortions at a national average per yer.

Opposers think, with a prescription required, women will, at least, be protected by gynecologist. However, All medications come with risk.
