Why abortion is good

Abortion.. is it a women 's right or should everyone have the right to life? Many believe that once the baby is alive it is considered murder. However others may believe it is up to the woman if one wants to keep it or not. This has been a topic amongst many arguments around the world and many do not come to a conclusion. It is your right to believe in what you want, so is abortion good or bad? Abortion is the "termination of a pregnancy". So for the anti abortionist this is considered slaughtering the baby. They believe that the fetus is actually a separate human life form. So if one has an abortion it is considered murder. On the other hand, pro abortionists believe that fetus is not dependent on the mother until it is born. The fetus is connected by the placenta, and is only separated at birth, so it is not murder.

The flaws in these arguments are, when do we call a fetus a person? From a religious standpoint they believe that when the fetus arrives it is a person. Most believe when the nervous system is made, because it can feel pain like an abortion. However this stage does not happen until the 6th or 7th month and abortion never occurs after the 24th week.

Abortion is necessary because of the potential of existing circumstances that would be a detriment to the mother or fetus. The mother could be physically, mentally, or emotionally unwell and not capable of being pregnant or having a child without endangering her health; the pregnancy could have possibly been the result of a terrible crime, such as rape or incest; the fetus could be unhealthy and be a danger to the mother 's health. I truly believe that abortion is a good thing if used right. Many people are not ready to have another human in their life and raise it improperly.

In 1987 a study was done to the woman who had abortions, to find out the reason of not keeping the baby. 25.5% wanted to postpone childbearing, 21.3%cannot afford a baby, 14.1% have a relationship problem or partner does not want pregnancy, 12.2% are too young, 10.8% child will disrupt job or education, 7.9% do not want children, 3.3% risk to fetal health, 2.8% risk to maternal health, 2.1% other. Incest and Rape are obviously a valid argument for abortion in my opinion; it is not technically killing someone if they cannot feel pain yet. About half of the pregnancies in the US are due to no protection, so maybe we should have more efficient sex education in school.

It is not fair to think a women would give up their child after having carrying it for 9 months. However when you get an abortion it is not the same at all. The reason the US Supreme Court allowed abortion to be legal was that it was good for women 's mental health to have the choice. Religion does not matter, women of all ages, class, background, rase, have abortion and it will always stay like that.

In conclusion, abortion is a good thing when used properly. It can saves lives and keep your life going on track. Abortion should always be up to the women because men have no idea what it is like. If abortion becomes illegal in the United States there will be casos. Not only does it help the people who cannot raise a child it helps our population. If used properly it is a good thing, however the best way to not have an abortion is abstinence.
