    Is your assignment on abortion and domestic abuse, and how the two relate to each other, or are those separate essays? Also, which society are you taking about? Western society, or societies all around the world? The answers could be different depending on which you mean.

    For example, as bibi mentions, in a lot of cases, abortions can be avoided if women use birth control or don't have sex at all. However, this is not the case if a woman has been raped, or if she is in an abusive relationship with a husband or boyfriend, where she has no choice about having unprotected sex.

    In many parts of the developing world, women have no say as to when or with whom they will have sexual relations. In some parts of Africa, girls are forced into marriage at the age of 10 or 11, before they are physically able to give birth to a child. Many of these girls die giving birth, or are forever scarred by the birth... they can't have anymore children, and often suffer from fecal incontinence (can't control going to the bathroom). Their families and husbands then abandon them. Should these girls not be able to have safe abortions, or at least access to birth control? It's a very complex issue. In a perfect world where no women were being abused or exploited, abortions would not be necessary. But unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world.
