Today in society there have been so many young women who have had unplanned pregnancies and have been undecided on what they are going to do with their babies. Apparently, most women plan on keeping their babies other on the other hand prefer to get an abortion. Today in society we have only have early abortions for women that are not close to having their babies and that they are still in their early trimester.

“It’s real easy to say you’re 100% against abortion when you’ll never have to make that decision.” - Anonymous. Women everyday have to make that decision, to decide whether or not to have an abortion, but the catch is most of those women are in circumstances where they cannot gain access to an abortion. “Approximately 25% of the world's population lives in countries with highly restrictive abortion laws” (Abortion..) Women in 74 different countries who have, intentionally or unintentionally, fallen pregnant are not allowed to have an abortion. For many people the idea of not having complete and utter control over their body is unfathomable, as it should be.
Just as the pro choice supporters believe that women have right to choose, the life of the unborn matter just as much. Abortion is taking the life of our society’s most helpless, defenseless, and vulnerable beings. Some may argue that it abortion is necessary for those women that have endured rape or because of a medical conditions that may harm the mother or the child, or even as a means to control family size. Center for Reproductive Rights suggest that, respect for a woman's right to plan her family requires governments to make abortion services legal, safe and accessible to all women. There are a number of circumstances in which abortion may be a woman's only means of exercising this right.
Never is it the child 's fault to be aborted and taken away from their life. Women need to take responsibility and matters into their own hands, instead of taking matters in the doctor 's office by planning to take a precious life away. The main reason why some women get abortions is because they
The pro-life versus pro-choice debate has polarized this nation for decades. Many supporters believe that it is more of an issue regarding women’s rights, than it is about the definition of life. The individuals that are against the prospect of terminating a pregnancy, believe that life begins at conception. This is where the argument lies, what truly defines life and where do we draw the line with abortion? Life is defined as, “The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death” (Definition of life in English)
It should be outlawed because it can lead to long-lasting biological suffering in some women as well as emotional pain which may cause suicide. According to a study from the Elliot Institute (2001), scientists found out that: “the average annual suicide rate per 100,000 women was 3.0 for delivering women, compared to 7.8 for aborting women. The national average suicide rate for women between the ages of 15 and 44 is 5.2 per 100,000 women.” The data shows that after abortion, women actually will have higher suicide rates due to psychological trauma. Moreover, abortions are related to other health concerns.
The US has the highest rate of abortion, out of other developed countries. According to The Washington Post, all states have a legal way to get an abortion, but they all have certain regulations to actually complete the procedure. According to the CDC, 1% of the 1 million abortions that happen in the US are rape victims. This is a big consideration in the political world about banning abortion.
Even with this growing acceptance, abortion is still immoral, unconstitutional, and selfish. If people looked at abortion in this way, there would be fewer babies killed. Many say that there is nothing wrong with abortion. Teenage girls are typically the ones who are looking for this procedure.
having an abortion can really scar women mentally and emotionally. When the woman has an abortion they are basically killing their own child. Do you think the mother can live with that? Many women just think that they can just have an abortion if they get pregnant, but some of them don 't think about how hard it is at the moment. Gary Bauer said “A 2009 poll found that of people who knew a woman who had had an abortion, 55 percent said her abortion was a negative experience, and only 33 percent a positive experience.”
Some people opposed to abortion say it gives a means of getting out of another issue. Megan Clancy an abortion oppose has written “There are women who are raped and become pregnant; the problem is that they were raped, not that they are pregnant. There are women who are starving who become pregnant; the problem is that they are starving, not that they are pregnant. There are women in abusive relationships who become pregnant; the problem is that they are in abusive relationships, not that they are pregnant.” A number of people are against abortion as it can be problematic for the women in the future while others are opposed as they say it will not ‘free women’ (BBC,
It is unquestionable that not everyone is fit to be a parent. If a mother was forced to be a parent when she was unwilling or unsuitable, neither she nor the child would benefit. Both the child and the mother would suffer from an underprivileged life with all the hardships that come with it, and it all could have been avoided with an abortion. It is apparent that not everyone agrees with that seemingly cruel idea in society, but what is more cruel: making the decision to not have a child in a current point of time to increase the chances of being a more suitable parent in the future, or having a child and raising them in the poorest quality of parenting possible because no one was ready to become a family? Without abortions, there would be mothers who are unfit, unable, or who were raped raising an unwanted baby, and none of those candidates make for good mothers.
Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. The decision to have abortions troubles women everyday around the world. There are over 3,000 abortions per day. Women have abortions for so many reasons such as rape, incest, expense issues, or coercion by family members or partners (World Meters 1). It's been clear to mention that women been exercise their right to choose everyday and this right needs to be protected.
How would people feel if someone came into there home and murdered their children. Woman should not be allowed to have an abortion. Abortion should not be allowed because the effects of abortion on women affects them physically and mentally. Abortion can affect women mentally because women will always have the thought in the back of their head that they had killed their own child. Women will have that constant feeling and it does hurt them and this could lead to have psychiatric problems later on in some women's lives.
Studies and reports of psychological problems show that after going through an abortion it has been criticized because of the difficulty in separating previous conditions and the circumstances of the un- planned pregnancy from the effect of the procedure, and the termination. (After Abortion, 1).For some people it makes it harder to get pregnant after having an abortion, and if not done properly it can cause severe damages, sometimes people get these damages over time in a slowly manner and eventually they can start to tell after time. Abortion is a horrible action of killing your own child, the big question is why not just put the child up for adoption? The answer is that many are teenagers and others are not ready either mentally or economically and believe abortion to be their only option. Some other mothers just want to abort because they do not want to lose their body figure.

With that in mind, women should have a right to use abortion to their advantage and as an option if they feel that they cannot take care of the child. Whether it be because of financial shortcomings, lack of responsibility, or rape etc., every woman should have the choice of abortion. Abortion is the solution for women who know they are not prepared for children. Many people do not really have a complete understanding about the process of abortions.
