Questions a woman's right to terminate pregnancy in the first three months through legalized abortion. Points out that increased accessibility to abortion would decrease the number of unwanted children, many of whom presently become socially maladjusted or mentally ill. Opposes legalized abortion in that the embryo is a human being, even though it cannot independently sustain life, and that often women only "think" they want an abortion. Emphasizes that most abortions are sought by married women.
