Can you imagine a world without abortion?

A world without abortion would need universal healthcare, free 100% effective reversible birth control with no side effects, no rape, no reproductive coercion, free childcare, free education, zero poverty, no health complications or fetal abnormalities incompatible with life (and probably a few more I missed!)

Otherwise it would just be a world where people with unwanted pregnancies, unaffordable pregnancies, deadly pregnancies and pregnancies with dead/dying fetuses are forced to continue them against their will by people with zero regard or compassion for their health and well-being.

And who the hell could possibly want that?

A world without (legal) abortion would be a miserable one. 

-More kids who are missing a parent because said parent was forced to carry a dangerous pregnancy to term.
-Even more kids in the foster care system because people who don’t want to parent have to carry out any accidental pregnancies. 
-A lot of dead loved ones, who either killed themselves, had to stop taking vital medications, tried to abort on their own, or straight up died from one of the many complications that can arise from pregnancy.
-More people dealing with painful and/or permanent medical conditions caused by pregnancy, against their will. 
-More people dealing with dysphoria caused by pregnancy.
-More kids growing up in abusive households where the abusive partner uses children as a method of control.
-More minors having to deal with being pregnant at a young age, and having to cope with all the problems that entails. 

Those are just the ones I can come up with off the top of my head. There’s many more reasons that a person would want to abort a pregnancy, but the biggest thing is that no one should ever have to go through it against their will. Ever. 

And note that I specify legal abortion. Because you could never truly get rid of it, people have been trying to terminate pregnancies since pregnancies have existed. All you’d actually take is the ability to do it safely.
