Abortion could never be a healthcare. As far as I am concerned I think it is a crime. The most women who do this kind of crime are the Socialist-democrats. They have no morals and at the same time, they make babies and require the taxpayers pay for their abortion. This must stop. The reasons why our healthcare is so expensive is due to millions of aborted babies in the hospitals or doctors clinic.
They socialist women become addicted to it and make babies over and over again, and go back to abort. In addition, statistics show that women who had more than 2 abortions become more sickly, due to abuse of their body system. Then when they are sick they go to the doctor, and we the taxpayers again pay for their illness.
How much money do taxpayers pay for that? If we stop paying their abortion, perhaps we could limit the baby making business thus few abortions. Abortion is not only crime to the baby but to God.

WHO HAS ABORTIONS?
At 2014 abortion rates, about one in four (24%) women will have an abortion by age 45.4
More than half of all U.S. abortion patients in 2014 were in their 20s: Patients aged 20–24 obtained 34% of all abortions, and patients aged 25–29 obtained 27%.
Adolescents made up 12% of abortion patients in 2014: Those aged 18–19 accounted for 8% of all abortions, 15–17-year-olds for 3% and those younger than 15 for 0.2%.
White patients accounted for 39% of abortion procedures in 2014, black patients for 28%, Hispanic patients for 25%, and patients of other races and ethnicities for 9%.
Seventeen percent of abortion patients in 2014 identified themselves as mainline Protestant, 13% as evangelical Protestant and 24% as Catholic, while 38% reported no religious affiliation and the remaining 8% reported some other affiliation.The vast majority (94%) of abortion patients in 2014 identified as heterosexual or straight. Four percent of patients said they were bisexual; 0.3% identified as homosexual, gay or lesbian; and 1% identified as “something else.”
Fifty-nine percent of abortions in 2014 were obtained by patients who had had at least one birth.
Some 75% of abortion patients in 2014 were poor (having an income below the federal poverty level of $15,730 for a family of two in 2014) or low-income (having an income of 100–199% of the federal poverty level).
In 2014, 16% of patients who obtained abortions in the United States were born outside the United States, a proportion comparable to their representation in the U.S. population (17% of women aged 15–44).
In 2014, 51% of abortion patients were using a contraceptive method in the month they became pregnant, most commonly condoms (24%) or a short-acting hormonal method (13%).
