Many people believe that abortion is murder, but that is not the case, just because somebody gets an abortion it does not mean they are a bad person. Abortion should be legal because women should have a say to what happens to their body, prohibiting abortions will lead to illegal and unsafe abortions, and because pregnancy and child birth is a massive financial undertaking.

Women should have the right to not want a child if they are not ready for it. Some reasons why women may want an abortion could be in the case of rape or incest. Although I have never experienced either of these situations, I would never want to look at my child and be remembered of the traumatic experience that had happened to me.

It just simply means that you are not prepared for a child. Missouri Republican Representative, Todd Akin, tends to disagree with my reasonings. Akins states, "When rape results in pregnancy, the baby has the same right to life as any child born by mutually loving parents."

Illegalizing abortion may lead to illegal and unsafe abortions because women are still going to have abortions if its legal or not.

This is very unsafe because the mother can end up hurting herself.

Weed is a prime example for this reason stated above. Although some states have weed banned people still find a way to get access to it and use it. The same goes for abortions, banning abortions will only make matters worse. Marlene Gerber Fried stated, " A seventeen-year-old with one child, for example, drank a bottle of rubbing alcohol to cause a miscarriage; a fourteen-year-old asked her boyfriend to kick her in the stomach and push her down the stairs." These teenagers were led to do abortion this way because there was not enough access to abortion for them to get it done

An article of the history of pro-life movements explains, “Many view abortion as inhumane and a violation to the unborn baby’s right to life” (Holland). While abortion is the process of terminating a pregnancy, therefore ending an unborn child’s life, a majority of women who have abortions don’t have the resources or capacity to care for another human being. Some pregnancies are a result of rape, incest, or compromises the mother’s health.

When faced with an unintended pregnancy, women find themselves in complex and challenging circumstances. Some may lack the financial resources, emotional support, or stability necessary to provide a nurturing environment for a child. Surprisingly, around 45% of all abortions are unsafe, where 97% of them take place in developing countries.(WHO) By allowing legal access to abortion, women can make informed decisions about their reproductive health, taking into account their personal circumstances and overall well-being. Prohibiting abortion does not eliminate the need for it.

Because even with all the risks, the start of life and birth is supposed to be a beautiful thing. But if someone does not want a child, then they should not be forced to do so.

Women should think twice about what they’re doing when it comes to taking away someone’s life and what their future contains of. Another Con of having an abortion is that the abortion doesn’t only hurt the mother; it hurts the most important victim, the child. Lowen states, “Abortion punishes the unborn child who committed no crime; instead, it is the perpetrator who should be punished.” Lowen is explaining that the baby shouldn’t be punished for actions that the mother participated in. The mother should have been more aware of what was going to happen.

Therefore, if I would have gotten an abortion I would have never had that time with him. There are women all over the world that didn’t get a chance to choose whether they wanted to engage in the sexual activity that led to their pregnancy.

The article stated that raising a child that is unwanted is a death sentence. If a woman is grown enough to make a baby then they should be grown enough to have to take care of it.
