How strong the condemnations of abortion have been, they haven’t stopped women from seeking them.
Religions have had to deal with this fact. According to Christianity, we have no right or authority to take our life. It is the domain only for God. God states in the sixth commandment, Thou shall not murder. Each baby is created by God and is part of His plan. The Islam, Jewish, and modern Buddhist teachings sanction abortion as a means of safeguarding the life of women. Though Hinduism strongly condemns abortion, sometimes religion is overpowered by the cultural preference for sons.

In a nutshell, society has to take preventive measures to curb the menace called abortion.
