Why are abortions legal?
<|assistant|>
Abortion is generally legal throughout the United States, but each state may set its own specific laws in this area. In most cases, abortion is legal in the first and second trimester as long as it is done in a safe manner. The reason abortion is legal is because the Supreme Court has ruled that women have a right to make decisions regarding their bodies. Abortion is seen by many people as a fundamental right, as it allows a woman to choose whether to continue her pregnancy. In addition, it is sometimes the safest and most viable option in certain situations.
