A female who has been sexually abused may want to get rid of her pregnancy given the strain of emotional responses it triggers and interference in her life. Sometimes, the woman is of a tender age and cannot continue pregnancy due to health reasons. In most states, laws are a bit relaxed to allow such women to obtain abortion.
  • Life-Threatened: Pregnancy is a tender phase. The woman’s and well and the fetus’s health has to be suitable throughout for a healthy delivery.

Women above 30’s or 35’s are at increased risk of complications, if they have to deliver a child. Some females are already with too many kids to bring another one in the world, or the pregnancy could happen at a time, when the person is unprepared to handle it. Hence, an abortion could be the chosen by such women.
