REVEAL FACTS OF THE INCREASING NUMBER OF ABORTION CASES IN UNITED STATES BASED ON MOTIVATING FACTORS

Abstract

This study is a literature review discussing the increasing number of abortion cases in United
States. Since the decision of Roe v. Wade in 1973, and the legalization of abortion in America, more than
56 million lives of babies die. This amount is far greater than the number of victims of massacres during
the world war. This study uses literature analysis study method. Through this method, conceptual
references, data and information are collected from various literature sources such as scientific journals,
books, research reports and other literature documents; then analyzed by qualitative approach. The
results show that high cases of abortion in the United States are not solely due to legal abortion in the
country. In principle, abortion is not an option, but the resultant pressure of circumstances that cornered
them on the weight choice. Therefore, It can reveal several other factors that motivated them to have
abortions, such as: sexual violence factors, medical factors, law and policy factors, income level factors,
social factors and psychological factors.
