Against Abortion

My Speech against Abortion

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. Abortions can occur spontaneously or induced. Spontaneous abortions are medically considered “miscarriages” and Induced abortion is when you remove the fetus from out of the uterus or embryo before it has a chance to fully develop and survive outside of the female’s uterus. There is a major argument between many people in the United States on abortion. Many argue that abortion is wrong because unborn babies are sacred and the government should protect them. Those people are considered “Pro-Life”. Then there are others that argue that it should be up to the soon-to-be mothers of the unborn babies’ decision and that the government doesn't have the right to tell them whether or not they can continue with their pregnancy. Those people are considered “Pro-choice”. Personally I am neither “Pro-life nor “Pro-choice”.
I am against abortion as a person. To me abortion is premature murder because you are taking away a life from someone who could bring you possible happiness and love that you may not receive from a significant other or family. The little fetus inside of you is innocent and has done absolutely nothing to you and therefore it should be able to live. If you don’t have the funds for a baby or cannot provide a nice and developing environment for the child then, it would be a better choice to put it up for adoption and let someone else who is unable to conceive a child have it. Try to make someone else’s life better by filling up their lonely void for a child and happiness. To be able to have a baby is a privilege that too many take for granted when they decide to abort their babies.
I understand that spontaneous abortions are natural and sometimes can’t be prevented but induced abortion can be. If you didn't want a baby in the first place you should have been protected and not so careless. However there are exceptions to that such as if you are raped, and it wasn't your fault. Even at that I believe the young girls or women should continue with the pregnancy and just give the baby up for adoption if they don’t want to relive that horrid experience. I can also understand if a woman cannot go through with their pregnancy due to medical issues and has to terminate their pregnancy so that they can save their own lives instead of losing both the lives of the baby and themselves. But if a woman aborts a baby because she doesn't want to ruin her body with the weight that pregnancy may bring then she is inconsiderate and selfish because there are plenty of families that would love to have a child in join them.
Although I’m against abortion for my own personal reasons, I know I don’t have the right to tell someone else they can’t abort their baby and neither does the government. I think that no matter what your view on abortion is you don’t have the right to tell someone they can’t use the alternative way of an unwanted pregnancy. Young women and teens should have a choice on whether they want to continue for their pregnancy or not for whatever reason. I still believe that abortion is wrong but shouldn't be illegal nor should it be glorified.
