Pro-life party members are against abortion because they view the procedure as a form of murder. Pro-life feminists fight to criminalize abortion because they hold that abortion is a procedure designed to keep men unaccountable for their sexual actions thereby allowing them to act out sexually without any consequences. Alternatively, the pro-choice party members do not recognize the ‘abortion is murder’ argument because if fetuses cannot receive all constitutional rights and protections the argument to grant them partial protection is illegitimate. Pro-choice feminists also fight for the legalization of abortion because they feel that the decision to get an abortion is their right, moreover, that personal medical decisions should be made between a woman and her doctor, not a…

A lot of women give reasons like being raped, incest, financial difficulty and a controversial one is if the child has a disability or defect. However the fact remains that abortion is a very controversial topic because its frequency of occurrence around the world, legal consequences, and its cultural and religious status varies extensively in different regions of the world especially in Africa and the United States of America.
