Abortion has always been a very controversial topic that has been the subject of debate many times by the pro-life and pro-choice groups.

Moreover, just the thought of an abortion is astonishingly unethical.

For women who demand complete control of their body, control should include preventing the risk of unwanted pregnancy through the responsible use of contraception or, if that is not possible, through abstinence.
