Conclusion Abortion may seem like an easy way out of a problem pregnancy, but in reality it is the hard way out. It causes physical, mental, and emotional pain for the woman who had the abortion, and complications after an abortion can be life threatening. Therefore it is best to find other options such as adoption or keeping the baby and seek help from crisis pregnancy programs.
