The Impact of Criminalization on Abortion Decisions
Many women who have undergone abortions express that if abortion had been criminalized, they would not have gone through with it. This sentiment highlights the potential influence that the legal status of abortion can have on a woman's choice. The argument presented is that criminalization serves as a deterrent, preventing women from pursuing abortions out of fear of legal repercussions. Therefore, addressing the issue of criminalization is not just about legal consequences but also about acknowledging its effect on conscience and decision-making.
