Abortion should be legal but also regulated

Abortion should be legal but regulated with certain restrictions. While an estimated 123 million women have intended pregnancies each year, 87 million become unintentionally pregnant. 46 million of 211 million annual pregnancies end in abortion. Reasons for legalizing abortion include that making it illegal does not stop it from occurring and allows women control over their lives and health decisions. However, regulations are needed to prevent abuse and ensure safe, legal access to abortion services. Common restrictions include gestational limits, physician requirements, waiting periods, and parental involvement for minors. Continued education and access to contraception are presented as solutions to reduce unintended pregnancy.
