The debate over whether abortions should be allowed or should not be allowed has been highly controversial for a very long time even though in the supreme court decision Roe v. Wade the supreme court said that abortions were a "fundamental right" and that women could have abortions. There are a lot of people who are pro abortions and anti abortions. The people that are pro abortions say that having abortions is a right and should not be limited by the government or by any religion because the right of the women having the abortion is a lot greater than the right of the fetus who is not even born yet. They also say that if the government takes away the ability to have an abortion legally that women who are having a baby that they do not want will resort to life threatening things to do the abortion on their own illegally. Some people pro abortion say that abortions should be used only in life threatening situations, rape, or incest and other want to be able to have one any time. There are a lot of organizations that support abortions. The people that are against having abortions, which I agree with, say that becoming a person (personhood) begins at conception and that means that it is not right to kill an innocent human being. They also say that having an abortion is painful to the fetus and is not right to hurt something so innocent. There are also many organizations that are against abortions. My opinion on abortions is that they are wrong. I think that it is like killing someone who go no chance to live and that is not fair. Some lady should not be able to decide if she wants this child to live and grow up and have a life or say that she doesn't want the baby so they should kill it. I do not think that is right. In the U.S. 51 percent of people are against abortions and 42 percent were for abortions. That is the first time since the survey started that the majority were against abortions so hopefully people are starting to see that what they are doing is wrong.

I think abortions are good to have because there are irresponsible people in the world and they might not financially be able to take care of a baby. But i do believe that if the woman is at leat 7 months pregnant than they shouldn't be able to have an abortion.
ReplyDeleteI think abortion is a horrible thing. If you are old enough to have sex then you are certainly old enough to know the consequences. It is completely unfair that a living child's life is sacrificed because someone made and irresponsible decision in which they knew the possible outcomes of their actions.
