In 2015, 906,000 abortions took place. That's 906,000 innocent lives taken. Women and girls who get pregnant unintentionally end a life when they get an abortion. Because of their mistake someone loses a chance at life. Abortion should be illegal because an innocent life is being ended, abortions reduce the amount of adoption and women should take responsibility for their actions.
For every abortion a women gets an innocent child's life is ended. “It’s a sad fact that courts in both the US and European countries do not consider the unborn child a human being worthy of protection” (Milligan). Every person should have a fair chance at life, and whether they are in the womb or not this is America and everyone is equal. Unborn babies are considered human beings by the US government and killing an innocent human being is wrong, even if they aren’t born yet. Also, Abortions reduce the amount of adoptions. For people and families that can’t conceive or want another child in the family normally go to adoption. The number of infants adopted have gone down over the years. Around 135,000 children are adopted each year. One question that people might have is what to do if there aren’t …show more content…
abortions? Adoption is one main thing you can do instead of abortion. Adoption gives the kids a chance at a life with another family that wants them and a chance to live rather than being killed in the womb because you didn’t want the child.
Finally, women should accept the responsibility of her decisions.
There's always a chance of pregnancy even when you use protection. You should take responsibility for your actions if something does go wrong. The baby’s life shouldn’t be taken for something that the parents are responsible for. In 2013 unmarried women were responsible for 85.2% of all abortions. This fact shows that most of it are womens mistakes and they don't want to deal with the challenges of having a child. Most of the women or even girls are probably still in school and their decisions would make their school experience much harder unless they just got rid of the problem or the baby with abortion. Girls should take care of their own mistakes and the answer shouldn’t be taking a
life.
Many people would argue that abortion should be legal. They say, “women should have the right to do what they want with their bodies,” Having a child isn’t just dealing with the woman's body though. It’s not like asking to get your ears pierced and saying you can do whatever you want with your body. This is dealing with another potential human's life as well as the womans. They also say, “Abortion keeps the population under control,” and “Abortion is a fundamental right” etc. The truth is that unless women get raped, the pregnancy was more or less their choice, and the population wouldn’t be in need of abortion to keep it down if people just made good decisions. Abortion should be illegal because it's taking away a child's life, abortions decrease adoption numbers, and women should take responsibility for their actions even if it's a mistake. Abortion promotes a culture at which life is disposable. People should take responsibility in their decisions rather than getting rid of them by murder. I hope that someday things will change and the government will ban abortion for just anyone’s use
