Abortion has consequences that directly affect the pregnant person who has aborted the child; the woman may no longer be able to give birth after this forced abortion, which may result in the mother's death.

There are alternatives to abortion, and all girls and women are encouraged to make efforts to carry a pregnancy to the last minute, but abortion is not a solution. Abortion has serious moral consequences, it is an almost regrettable solution, but not a comforting one. Prayer is a special power for receiving promptings to find solutions worthy of humanity. Catechesis on abortion', with Fr Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.

Many people have abortions because of love problems; women are afraid of separating from their lover because they are threatened with divorce; they are afraid of being solely responsible for the upbringing and maintenance of the child. It is a crime to abort a child even if the explanation and evidence used to convince people that the abortion is justified; abortion is not the solution to certain problems.

It is wrong to think that abortion is the guarantee of health for a woman whose pregnancy is said to be unhealthy; the illness of a pregnant woman is not caused by the presence of a child in her mother's womb, but by other illnesses.
