ABS prevents breaks from locking up when you have to slam them down to stop suddenly. The ABS system causes the car to jerk a bit when it kicks in. Older cars that don't have ABS may lock up and the car will not maneuver well and may skid when stopping suddenly. If you "pump" non-ABS breaks instead of slamming them down, you can avoid the negative effects of a non-ABS system.

Why does ABS light stay on and brakes squeal on my 96 Lincoln Town car?
Your brake system needs repair immediately. The brakes are squealing because the pads are worn out, and you are hearing the warning device or the metal to metal contact of the pad and rotor. Stop driving the car and have the brakes repaired. The ABS light may or may not go out. If it does not, there is problem with the ABS. Your standard brakes will still work.
