Abortion Should be legall
Abortion should be Legal

According to World Health Organization (WHO) unsafe abortion is defined as “A procedure for terminating unwanted pregnancy either by persons lacking the necessary skills or in an environment lacking minimal medical standards or both.” Each year approximately 1.3 million women decide to terminate their pregnancy in U.S.A according to a study published in Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health. But why do women choose to end their pregnancies? Does legalizing of abortion in certain countries increase the number of abortions? The answer is no. Legalizing of abortion doesn’t have significant effect in the number. However, it has tremendous effect in decreasing the mortality rate of mothers and reducing health complications due to unsafe abortion. First, legalizing abortion decreases the mortality rate of mothers. There might be different reasons why women are forced to take the decision. Nevertheless, they made the decision because they couldn’t get alternative. Had there been an alternative to their decision for abortion, they wouldn’t carryout unsafe abortion in the countries where abortion is illegal. Worldwide 46 million abortions occur, and 20 million takes place in a country where abortion is illegal. (Facts in Brief: Induced Abortion Worldwide, 2003, Alan Guttmacher Institute). According to W.H.O the leading cause of maternal mortality in countries where abortion is illegal is unsafe abortion. A person who really cares about our mothers, sisters or/and daughters could easily understand how much it benefits women legalize abortion. Why should we lose our beloved ones, who have a bright future just because we couldn’t understand and mediate the facts. Second, legalization of abortion has a tremendous impact in reducing health complications due to unsafe procedures. Women who escape death due to unsafe abortion have a great chance to face health complications because most procedures endanger their

    According to statistics provided by Guttmacher institute, “there were approximately 1.05 million abortions in the United States in 2012 alone” (Abortion Counters 4). To many, that might be just a number and it does not necessarily mean anything, but lets just take some time to think about how tremendously that number actually is. The image of 1.05 million lifeless, innocent premature babies is horrific, and many do not realize how sick and wrong it is. That number is more than just a statistic but it is the amount of lives that were ended way to early. As someone who stands for pro-life, aborting a baby is not something that should be an option so easily for women. Women nor anybody else should have the authority to end a child’s life prematurely.…

    1.21 million women get abortions in the US each year (BMC Women’s Health). Many factors contribute to this, including timing, health of mother and/or fetus, and the ability to provide a quality life. Abortion procedures will be performed differently, depending on the duration of the pregnancy. Further complications could also lead to a different type of procedure being performed. Abortion, in America, was not a legal practice until 1973, in the ‘Roe v. Wade’ case (Abortion Wars).

    Abortion is an on-going debate throughout the United States. Americans divide 50% as pro-choice and 44% on pro-life. (Saad, 2015) Majority of women side with pro-choice, and being a woman myself, I stand with pro-choice. I believe that it’s an individual’s right to decide what they’re doing to their bodies, and no one else should be allowed to deny them of said right. There are many different reasons as to why someone would get an abortion. Whether it be from results of rape, birth control failure, teen pregnancy, or whatever the case may be, every abortion is thought out and no option is an easy option.…

    When a baby is aborted it is still in the process to be a fetus. The baby is tissue in the uterus, which means that the avoid would not feel any pain. Taking away the right for women to have the option of abortion would lead to more deaths because women would seek illegal abortions. In countries outside of the US, the cause of woman's death is 13% from getting illegal abortions. Before abortions were legal in the US, 265 deaths occurred in the year of 1965 because of illegal abortions.

    Women it seems have always had to fight for their rights, whether it is their right to vote or work. Most recently, women have had to fight for the right to do what they will with their bodies and their sexual reproductive rights. Though abortion is legal, from the late 90’s and early 2000’s, there has been a decrease in the accessibility for women to have a safe abortion done by a medical professional (113th Congress, 2013). Due to the ever-growing rate of illegal abortion procedures, there have been medical complications that result in the death of women. About 5-10,000 women have died from illegal abortions due to the improper care prior to, during, and after a procedure has been done; legalizing abortion would…
