Executive summary
My first purpose in this study was to attempt an overview of the effects of liberalization of legal abortion-policy. Secondly we tried to explain the backgrounds of the abortion-problem. I made an investigation of factors leading to unwanted pregnancies and we looked for an answer to the question why so many people are opposed to abortion. The following general conclusions can be formulated. For the specific details I refer to the paragraphs in the class final project.
Introduction
A couple decades ago, when abortion was illegal, thousands of women died because they did not want to bear an infant and attempted to terminate the child 's life by themselves or with an unprofessional approach. After 1973 's Supreme Court decision, which allowed women to have the choice to abortion, thousands of women were saved.Imagine you have a balance beam. On one side you have the physical life of an infant and on the other you have the mental and emotional life of a mother and her unwanted child. Which side can we, as civil humans, claim as more valuable? Up to this current day, abortion has become an exigent issue that faces everyone nationwide. As a moral and ethical issue, abortion is a dilemma for society. Abortion was illegal before the 1973 Supreme Court decision in the trial of Roe v. Wade, but now that abortion is legitimate, women have the freedom and the choice to live their life the way they want to. Albeit, abortion is criticized by religious sects in America and some of the public, the practice of abortion should remain legal in the U.S. because it allows a woman to choose her destiny and prevents unwanted children. Abortion can save thousands of lives of women and thus, should remain legal in the United States.
