Equality is the main purpose and force of feminism. Social, economic and political equality. This means as a culture we need to work towards the eradication of double standards surrounding sex, work, careers and parenthood. Abortion is never going to be easy. Access to abortion however is necessary. Without safe legal access, women in desperate need will and even still do turn to back alley doctors, unsafe chemically induced abortions and throwing themselves down stairs. No one is forcing anyone to get an abortion who doesn't want one, adoption's an option as well, (though there are so many children who are never adopted). The best way to lower abortion rates is to have better sexual education and access to contraception. The sooner that is achieved, the better for humanity.
