Abortion Debate
Abortion is a topic that is highly debated world wide, and many people have their own opinions wether it is right or wrong. The most common issues that are raised when discussing abortion is the idea wether it can be classed as murder or not, womans rights, the health issues that can occur after a termination, the high rise in teenage girls oppting for an abortion and also the way some woman use it as a form of contraception rather than a last resort. I am going to be discussing there points in greater detail from using fact and expressing my own opinions on this very sensitive subject.
Half the percentage of woman who are getting abortions are below the age of 25. These woman most of them won’t be finiancaily capable as statistics say women with family incomes less than $15,000 obtain 28.7% of all abortions. Most infact are still at school, if these young girls had decided to have their baby most of them would have dropped out of school with no educuation or a lifes worth of knowledge gone to waste. Most girls would not be able to persue their actuall career dreams because they would have to bring up there baby instead. Also these girls would most likely end up bringing their baby alone, with no father figure their at all, leaving the child having no knowlege of what having a dad is like. Having a baby when your under the age of 25, leaves the mum missing out on all the fun times her life should be around that time
In the case of a woman being sexually assulted, there should be no question woman should be aloud to have an abortion and not feel bad about doing so. It has been known 1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest occording to www.abortionno.com. The woman who have proceeded to have the child after being raped most of these woman begin to suffer from traumatic psycholigical pain, as they would have to face everyday looking at their child and remembering the day they got assulted.
Another arguemnt for abortion is it isi the womans own business if they choose to have an abortion, why should anyone else care? Normally people will have their own valid reason on why they go through with the proceedure, and most woman wouldn't like to talk about it openly. So why make a situation worse, by making the woman feel terrible about it. As they would start to listen to other people's opinions and it would eat away at them.
A fact against abortion is in America taxes paid by the general public go towards all the medical equitment needed to go through with an abortion. In some people's eyes this is like funding towards equitment to murder a human being, that could be seen as a hypocritical if everyone goes around saying murder isn't sane, how can abortion be ok? If the taxes the public are paying were not going towards this would people's opinion change about abortion? And would people be so botherd?
People automatically just link abortion with murder but is it really the same? The most common argument raises is that it is not ok for people to intentially harm or kill another human being, so how can abortion be ok? In a way the they are similar but abortion isn't for a full grown featus, but just a bunch of cells that will eventually in a couple of weeks start to become a living thing. But in the end this is just a matter of opinion, people should decide themselves what they think.
Most abortions have a valid reason behind them , but a percentage are from woman who don't want their child, instead of having an abortion the whole idea of adoption should be a strong consideration. As there will always be a family desperate for a child, it could be seen as selfish for woman to have abortions freuqently and not stop to think about other people who are struggling to conceive. It could save the woman from having depressiom or after abortion trauma, as they won't have to live with the guilt. Young girls who have abortions, and use it as a form of contraception I believe they should be asked to consider adoption before abortion to get the idea in theire heads that abortion isn't just an easy way out of a situation. If they feel they can go ahead and have unprotected sex they should be old enough to deal with the consiquences.
In my opinion abortion is acceptabe in some cases. I would never judge anyone who went through with an abortion nor someone who was considoring it. I believe it is no one elses business. Although i do disagree on people taking it for granted, and using it as almost a form of contraception instead of a last minute resort as some woman have several abortions throughout theire life time without any valid reason as in to why.
