Raising a child is expensive. From the day your baby is born until the day they turn 18, your family will spend about $310,605 — or about $17,000 a year, according to a new Brookings Institution analysis of data from the U.S. Agriculture Department. The average median salary in the United States alone is 31,133 USD. Considering that people also have to feed, house, and clothe themselves, this is the median average wage in the United States, abortion is a viable option for poorer neighborhoods in the USA. Also, some might not be ready for a child, or it is simply too risky for the parent to give birth. Overall, Abortion can save more lives than it ends, by lessening the stress and pain on both the wallet and the parrent.
