Illegally performed abortions always pose higher health risks to women but most women still have to resort to the same owing to the polarized standards of society.
And I am not even talking about the abortions unmarried women have to go through. In fact, most often abortions are taboo because the popular idea is that an unwanted pregnancy needing an abortion only happens out of wedlock.
