    There are many controversies about abortion. Many people in the world feel differently about this topic. Some are pro-life‚ the others are pro-chioce. Pro life is totally against abortion‚ pro-choice believes the woman has a choice to keep her baby‚ or abort it. I personally believe that abortion should only be acceptable if there is a health risk to the mother or fetus‚ incest or rape . The procedure also puts a lot of emotional and mental stress and trauma on the mother which is something she

    There are so many prochoice advocates supporting abortion stating that a mother should have the right to terminate her fetus if she feels incapable of becoming a mother. But I say that is unjust‚ because if that woman chose to be unprotected and not use contraceptives then she should be held accountable to give that fetus life. So many women do not want to be held accountable for being irresponsible. I know it sounds harsh to say that a woman should give birth to the child if she chose to be unprotected

    Abortion: Are you a murderer? Since the legalization of abortion in 1973‚ over 54 million unborn children have been killed.  That’s 1 baby every 20 seconds. Even if scientists could determine when consciousness begins‚ wouldn’t it still be wrong to distinguish a life? Some people believe that terminating a child’s life before birth is alright because the child has not reached consciousness; that consciousness is a state that occurs after birth. However a child begins to dream within the womb after
