These potential female lives that have been lost mean the male to female ratio grows more and more disproportionate each year; this disproportion has already been shown to increase instances of rape, sex trafficking, physical violence, and other mistreatment of women (Tracy, 26). All of these side effects of past oppression of women coupled with legal abortion could and have very easily further the patriarchal reign and utter mistreatment and devaluation of women. Tracy clearly states some of the problems of the pro-choice argument, which no matter which side one personally aligns themselves with, need to be addressed, but pro-lifer Steven Tracy does not stand completely alone in his criticisms of the pro-choice argument. Proclaimed supporter of legal abortion Thia Cooper also points out her criticisms of the pro-choice debate. One position that pro-choice supporters often argue is that through legal abortion all women will be allowed a choice as to whether or not they have a baby; thus allowing more power and control over their body. But this argument completely disregards outside factors such as economic, medical, time, and mental
