How to use abortion in a sentence?

1. David Prentice:

2. Cynthia Vaught:

   I would like there to be no abortion providers in the United States, life is sacrosanct.

3. Jennifer Welch:

   Fortunately for all of us here, abortion is legal in Illinois and will remain legal in Illinois.

4. Soman Rai:

   What we believe is that everybody has the right to information, that is our fundamental right, if some pro-choice groups, or pro-abortion groups say that abortion is safe, it's a normal procedure, it's not harmful to any women... it is not accurate information.

5. John Seago:

   The Legislature wants to spend money on helping pregnant women and families through things like adoption, maternity homes, pregnancy resources centers and other social services -- in addition to just saying no to pay for the abortion.
