Abortion
Abortion is a very controversial topic around the world. Abortion is considered murder in many religions including The Bible, The Koran, The Torah, and etc. Many believe that under some circumstances that abortion should be available to women. It is important that women are informed about some alternative choices other than abortion. Although abortion is immoral and should be outlawed in many to all of the states in some cases it should be acceptable.
Abortion should be available to women who have become impregnated after someone has violated them. It is immoral to make someone live with a baby who was forced into their life against their will. By carrying the fetus after having been a victim of such a heinous crime the mental stability of women could deteriorate and only remind them for nine months of the tragedy. Not only would it affect the mental stability of the women but it would also be unhealthy to carry the fetus in that kind of condition.

The woman, like the hero in the horror story, has the right to fight off her attacker. It is totally within her right to abort the fetus to save her life (and maybe even the life of others that may be heavily impacted by her death). This killing is in the defense of the mother. This right should be protected and it is morally acceptable. Our care should go to protecting the life that is already living instead of the life that

Upon conception an individual is created, this individual has the right to life and should be protected. Dr. Maureen Condic tells us that the most primitive responses to pain in the spinal cord are developed by eight weeks gestation and that it is a universal agreement that pain is detected by the fetus in the first trimester. Dr. Bernard Nathanson stated that when an abortion is performed on a 12 week old fetus, “we see (on an ultrasound machine) the child’s mouth open in a silent scream.” It is immoral to kill a child for convenience. People are having sex and should know that even with using a form of contraceptive there will be a risk of pregnancy.

Some of these defects are minor and easily treated, while on the other hand others are more dangerous, and cannot be treated. They may cause disabilities to the baby5. According to Jeremy Bentham’s Hedonistic Calculus theory6, it would be okay to have an abortion. Therefore, in this condition of having a baby with disabilities, it would cause a miserable life to the parents, the child, and the family as a whole; consequently it is acceptable to have an abortion. If abortion is illegal, then we’re giving a chance for the child to be born with a type of defect, which will result to a life of suffering because he/she will not be able to enjoy life, hence, he/she may have to

Just because a woman has been raped, or the child was diagnosed with a birth defect, or the woman’s health is at risk does not mean she has the right to kill her child. You cannot fix one tragedy with another. You especially do not avoid health issues by avoiding the birth of a human being. When a woman gets raped you must care for her, but caring for her does not mean telling her she should get an abortion. If the child is diagnosed with a defect, no one should urge the mother to get an abortion.
