Pro-Choice: Abortion
Pro-Choice: Abortion
Abortion is a very controversial issue. Abortion is the premature termination of pregnancy resulting in the death of any or all carried embryo(s) or fetus(es). Many people are either pro-life or pro-choice. Pro-life is against abortions and pro-choice is allowing women to decide whether she wants and abortion or not. I believe in being pro-choice and letting the woman decide. One question that comes to mind, however, is why are woman getting abortions? As I have done research, I came to find out the answer. Every woman has the right to make any decision that involves her body. Our government has always respected the individual's right to privacy. A woman's reproductive system should not be regulated by the government. In the Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade in 1973, the decision to make abortion legal came in effect (Frohock 1983). Before Roe, many women that were pregnant were forced to weigh their respect for the law against their positivism that they were not ready to be mothers. Many women chose to break the law, putting there lives and futures at risk, and decided to get unsafe and expensive procedures. There are people who choose to get an abortion for several reasons. Some of these reasons are because they want to postpone childbearing, cannot afford a baby, had relationship problems, their partner does not want pregnancy, they are too young, there is risk to fetal health, risk to maternal health, incest, and or the person was raped. In a research done, the percentage of these reasons why people seek to get an abortion ranges from 2.1% because of rape and incest to 25.5% because these people want to postpone childbearing. Laws against abortion kill woman. Even though abortion may be illegal, that does not mean woman will not go through with the abortion. If you look at the case of Becky Bell, for example, she was an innocent girl that did not want her child and ended up dieing because of an illegal abortion
