Should abortion be permitted?
The question is, should abortion be permitted? Should a child that has not yet entered the world or had the chance to see light or go to school be terminated in the females womb? Some people regard abortion as murder , because it is not proven what stage the foetus will be regarded as a child. Who has the choice, Religion, Government or the Female?
For
- Females should have the control over their own bodies because they will be carrying the unborn child for 9 months and have to be responceible for their actions and what they consume.
- These are important events in a woman’s life, and if she does not want to go through the full nine months and or giving birth, then she should have the right to choose not to do so.
- If a girl or woman has been raped then it is not fair on the female to have to give birth to a constant reminder of the child's contraception. This is at all fair on the child either.
- The demand for abortions will always exist, making abortion illegal, will simply drive it underground and into conditions where the health and safety of the woman might be put at risk.
- If having the baby will cause problems such as death to the female then abortion should be an option.
- Finally, If the child will live a painful or traumatic life such as being disabled or brain damaged then the mother should be able to choose what path she shall take that is right for her.
Against
- Human-rights should be respected, but it is not the case that a person has a right to make a decision with no reference to the rights and wishes of others.
- The mother may have the rights to her own body but she has a life growing inside her and why should it be her decision to end that life without giving it a chance?
- The unborn child will have every ability, and every opportunity that the mother has, if they give him/her the opportunity.
- The person who has decided to deny the life of another human should be treated the same way as a murderer.
We all have our opinions...
These are mine..
