People are naive if they think it will just stop.
If Roe. V Wade was ever overturned people would still get abortions. They would just find another way to do it. It is happening right now even for people who can't afford an abortion they are either doing it themselves or going down to Mexico and having a "back alley" abortion as they are called. These people that do need to resort to having an abortion that is not done by trained medical professionals usually but their lives at risk. Does the Supreme Court and the United States really want to put even more people's lives at risk. Just because it becomes illegal doesn't mean that people will stop doing it.In fact the ways that abortions are done might just change and become more and more unsafe.

I think that a woman has the right to chose what she wants to do. It doesn't affect anyone else besides the father what her choice is, why should the Supreme Court and the rest of the population have a say in whether or not she wants to keep her baby and should be able to legally terminate it. It is a personal choice that a person has to make and should stay that way. No one should dictate what they do with their reproductive life.
