Abortion

I have recently been reading articles about abortion and I chose to jump on the topic and give my thoughts about abortion.

“Abortion is a personal decision not a legal debate.” A woman has the right to chose what she wants done to her body, that’s why I believe abortion should be legalized. Many people believe that when an abortion takes place a baby dies. That isn’t true; an abortion is performed before the fetus has developed a human being. Terminating an abortion isn’t bringing an end to a child’s life, life begins at birth. A child shouldn’t come into this world unwanted. It is better to get an abortion rather than bring an unwanted child in the world, that will get neglected and suffer all their life. Raising a child is a lifelong decision and requires responsibility.

            A woman has her own right to what she wants done to her body. Illegalizing abortion is taking away personal freedom. No matter who thinks abortion should be illegal, it’s always going to be a female who doesn’t want to have a baby and wants an abortion. They could look for other ways to get rid of their baby; they could starve themselves or take drugs and do other harmful things to keep the baby from developing. Antiabortion is usually a religious belief, and the laws of the United States shouldn’t be basic on religion. Abortion is terminating a pregnancy not a baby. Fetuses are incapable of feeling pain. That’s why I believe that abortions should be legal.
