1. Since in the case of abortions being performed and abortions being illegal there is a violation of the rights of someone (if you deem an embryo or fetus to be a person afforded rights) and since the person being violated in both situations has not taken a felonious action that would justify the government violating those rights, the decision should not be in the hands of the government but in the hands of those involved directly in the situation.
2. Whether abortions are legal or illegal, they will be performed. We can institute better family planning availability and sexual education to help curb the perceived necessity for abortive services, but they will still exist. By making them illegal we are putting more people in danger as women seek out unlicensed and unregulated providers to perform the procedure, or rely on "home remedies" for it. Making it illegal will lower the numbers some, but not enough to justify the risk it will put women in.
