In 1973, an American Supreme Court decision made it possible for a woman to get safe, legal abortions from well-trained medical practitioners and therefore led to dramatic decreases in pregnancy-related injury and death. The policy proposal has been done to close up abortion clinics. I am against this proposal, and I will try to give you some arguments why I think abortion clinics should not be closed. Closing up abortion clinics will make difficulties for women that want to have an abortion. Having an abortion is a woman's own choice, and it should remain to be her own choice. But when there are no providers, it is like the choice has already been made for her. Closing up the clinics will raise the barriers against women who want to have an abortion. When the barriers are too high, this could mean that for some woman, the right to make their own choices is taken away from them. The constitution says we have a right to privacy, so taking away a woman's chance to make decisions about her own body and life, infringes on that right.

Women will have to wait longer to get an abortion and will be treated later in their pregnancy. A woman who wants to have an abortion will have to travel a long way when there are no providers around. This will make her abortion even more expensive then it already is. She will have to pay for the abo...
