Abortion
“An estimated 43% of all women will have at least 1 abortion by the time they are 45 years old. 47% of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least one previous abortion” (The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform). Abortions happen for many reasons and some reasons are rape, incest, financial difficulties, goals, and age. Women have to choose between pro-life and pro-choice. I however believe in pro-life, because I believe if a women doesn’t want a baby they shouldn’t open there legs and if worse comes to worse adoption is always a choice. Abortion is an easy way out for those people who don’t care about them selves and are not respectful to there own body. Abortion is murder and is killing an innocent life. Overall, the abortion debate is an irresolvable conflict.
Abortion is a form of murder and violence. According to Susan B. Anthony, she calls abortion “child murder”. The unborn is a person and is considered a living human when they are growing in the fetus. People like to say that the unborn isn’t a person until after they are born but think about it, if the baby wasn’t a person in the fetus how is it a person once it is born? An abortion doesn’t only kill an innocent life, it also doesn’t have an advantage to the women having the abortion. Women don’t gain anything from having an abortion. They lose hundreds of dollars from having the abortion as well as undergoing a horrifying procedure. Also women who have abortions usually are haunted by the sound of the vacuum sucking there baby out of there lives. Women can also become very unhealthy after having an abortion. As you can see, abortion doesn’t have any advantages to the women and women gain nothing not even a sense of joy after undergoing an abortion.
Although I am agreeing with pro-life, America is a free country and women have the right to have an abortion. According to the article, “Abortion is every woman’s right”, the right to choose is just one aspect of a much larger issue of reproductive rights. Women have the right to take control over their own bodies. If a woman believes she cant or shouldn’t have a baby she should be able to make her own personal decision without being questioned. Abortions should be an open option for those women who truly need to undergo one, but not for those women who just don’t want to have a baby. There are some circumstances where there are needs to make abortions possible. Overall, truly supporting women’s rights must involve telling the truth about abortion.
Although I am pro-life, it is not my place to tell you what is right or wrong. Just take a moment and truly think about the baby and if you really want to kill an innocent life. Women need to overall think about there actions before taking the chance of being pregnant and having to make that decision on if they want to have an abortion or not. “The self is not something ready made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action”.
