Abortion
Should abortion be legal?
What is abortion?
Pros and Cons
- The fetus is not capable of feeling pain
- A child should not come into the world unwanted, or abandoned
- A rape victim might not want the child because it would be a constant reminder of a horrible incident.
- Many woman might want to abort the child due to life threatening diseases or conditions that might harm them or the baby.
Cons
. Some believe that abortion is murder "life begins at conception, so an unborn child should have the right to live. (would you want to kill something living inside of you?)
. Abortion can lead to serious health injuries/ infections and in some cases, death
-> a mother could also have future problems/ miscarriages due to past abortion procedures when trying to have a child later on in the future.
. A woman could go into a state of depression or very bad guilt after aborting her child.
-> Abortion could have a very bad effect on the mom's physical and mental health.
. There are some women in the world that are not physically able to have children and by one mother aborting her child, she could have helped someone who actually wanted a baby.
