Abortion is a very controversial topic and in some religions, it is highly disapproved of. Pro-life activists may not understand or even realise the things that may cause a woman to want, or even need, an abortion. But, it is not a crime to eliminate something that will physically rip your body apart. Many things can lead a woman to get an abortion. She could have a condition that could put the baby or herself at risk. Polycystic ovary syndrome and diabetes can cause a miscarriage. Thyroid disease and diabetes can cause birth defects. High blood pressure is risky for the mother and the fetus because it can damage the mother’s kidneys and cause low birth weight. Why would you have a baby just for it to die, get adopted, or not have a mother?
