Abortion the Human Rights

Introduction of a Social Problem Abortion has been a problem in our society for many years. There are two stances that may be taken in this issue; pro-life or pro-choice. Pro-choice advocates do not consider abortions to be murder. On the other hand, pro-life persons view abortion as the intentional murder of a human being. Christians’ believe in life after death. They also believe that life begins immediately at conception. Buddhists believe in reincarnation while atheists do not believe in God tend to be supporters of the right to choose. This means that perception and focus are the key issues when people from any faith choose to be supporters or opponents of any controversial

The New York Time wrote by (Thee, 2007) made a conclusion on the topic by adding up the percentage in three difference section 1. Abortion should be generally available to those who want it; OR 2.

Any person who thinks of bringing an unwanted child into the world without careful consideration should be aware of the consequences of the hard life.

If every act is unaccounted for, then the number of children losing their lives due to paucity is set to increase tremendously. It is good to care for what we can see instead of spending valuable resources campaigning for fetuses that are yet to claim an entity in the social arena.
