Why Is Abortion Wrong

Abortion is the termination of pregnancy before birth, resulting in, or accompanied by, the death of the fetus. Some abortions occur naturally because a fetus does not develop normally. Or because the mother has an injury or disorder that prevents her from carrying the pregnancy to a full term. This type of abortion is commonly known as a miscarriage. Other abortions are induced. Induced abortions are intentionally brought on, either because a pregnancy is unwanted or presents a risk to a woman\'s health. Induced abortion has become one of the most ethical and philosophical issues of the late 20th century. Modern medical techniques have made induced abortions simpler and less dangerous
An abortion is a woman's option to terminate a pregnancy.
Many are for abortion and just as many are against it. There are many different arguments for each case. For example, pro-abortionists may say that, although the decision to have an abortion is never easy, nobody is better suited to make this decision than the mother, but anti-abortionists will say it is the baby’s choice, and as it cannot express its views, it has a right to live and therefore abortion is wrong.
However, every pregnant woman has the right to take control of her fertility, and as no method of contraception is 100% safe, women may still need abortion, because the women has a right to have an active sex life but not have any children. Abortion may be her only option if contraception fails, and this may be viewed as fairer on the child than for it to be born into an un-loving, un-wanting family. We must respect some women’s decision not to have
Some people think a foetus is only a potential human being, but there is no question of the humanity of the woman. So some may say it is better to abort a potential human life than to destroy a human life by allowing the baby to be born. The doctors which perform abortions are not trained ethically or morally so they are in a better position to make the decision to have an abortion. The father’s view should also be considered as he knows the mother well enough to realise if she can handle a baby or not and is also less likely to be as emotionally attached to the foetus at the abortion stage so he may be able to make a sensible decision. For example, the mother might be young and still be at school and incapable of handling a baby and studying, and the father would see this where the mother may not. And abortion is nothing new, it has existed in every civilisation in some form and nobody spoke out against it, so why should ours be any different? Also, when babies are born and the mothers see them for the first time, they tend to become emotionally attached and in some cases giving the child up for adoption may be harder than having an abortion if they are unwanted. Anyway, if abortion was outlawed, women would still risk their health and lives in backstreet clinics if they are determined to have an abortion. If a pregnancy is a
