Abortion


There have been many protests and movements to try and get abortion illegalized. Abortion should stay legal. Getting pregnant can be a mistake and people deserve a second chance. If abortion was illegal, women would try and abort the baby themselves. Rape victims should not have to carry a baby around in their bodies for nine months
People who have unexpected pregnancies should have a second chance. Children can be a blessing and a burden. Babies require a lot of money and time to take care of. People who are considering abortion, especially teenagers, do not have the time or money for them. Unexpected pregnancies have kept many men and women form accomplishing their dreams. Getting an abortion can offer them a second chance.
Making abortion illegal would only put women at risk of injuring themselves. Abortion has been illegal in this country before. One reason that this was changed was due to the amount of illegal abortions that were performed. An illegal abortion does not involve a skilled surgeon removing a baby. Instead, the pregnant woman does it herself. This either resulted in death or serious injury.
The opposition states that a parent should adopt their baby if they do not want it. However, a rape victim should not have to carry around a reminder of the most traumatizing event in their life. Being raped is a moment one will never forget. Many women struggle with it the rest of their lives. Forcing them to go through a pregnancy would be torture. It would greatly add to their emotional stress.
In conclusion, legalized abortion does more good than bad. Abortion will always be legal. People make mistakes and should have another chance to fix what they did. Illegal abortions lead to the deaths of many women and rape victims should not have to go through a pregnancy.

    I agree in most cases. My aunt was a pre school teacher in down town lorain. Half of the kids were not properly fed or dressed. And in most cases the mother and or father were drug addicts. Thats a terrible life for that child to live why put a kid though that. I totally agree with you.
