Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to write an essay of on the topic of abortion and then describe it in one of the 3 sociological forms which is Symbolic Interactionism, Class Conflict Theory or Functional Analysis.

According to the Article (Abortion in America’s not rare, 2013) which states that, “because of the Supreme Court 's decision on Roe vs. Wade, and the existence of organizations like Planned Parenthood, abortion in this country is safe, legal and rare.”
My opinion on this matter is that Abortion is the determination of an innocent life and is murder in the eyes of God and the only reason for an abortion is if the mother’s life is threatened within the term of her pregnancy and I believe that’s the way the church would see it also. Within the same article that was mentioned in the first paragraph. (Abortion in America’s not rare, 2013) “It has been estimated that there has been 55 million safe, legal and rare abortions performed in the United States since the 1973 Supreme Court decision.”
For many years abortion has been only for saving a woman’s life if a pregnancy was to threaten her survival and in the article. (A Whispered Word Takes on a New Voice, 1968). “Authorities estimated more than 1 million illegal abortions done annually in the United States.” I do agree with the article that it should be a woman’s choice to get an abortion but I only believe that to a certain extent and I mean that in a way that a woman shouldn’t be able to have an abortion just because she doesn’t want the baby but only if its life threatening. If you look at both these article over time the abortion rate has increased a lot in the recent years and that because women are freely choosing whether they want the baby or not and I believe if the woman doesn’t want the baby the
