Abortion is a serious topic in the United States today. Abortion is legal in all fifty states, but not everyone agrees with it. The conflict is that some agree with abortion, and some do not for various reasons. Some think that it is the women’s right to have a choice if she should have the baby or not, and some say that it was the women’s choice to have sexual intercourse that lead to her being pregnant so she needs to have the baby and understand that she put this on herself. I don’t think either side is misrepresented and both sides are clearly stated.
An online article that I found was, http://www.buzzle.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-abortion.html. Reading the article it stated pros and cons for abortion and the reasoning behind the topic. The one that presents the most compelling argument in my opinion, is most of unplanned pregnancies if extended to childbirth may prove to be wanted later. This means that at the time the women may not want to have a child, but later down the road she may wish that she would have went through it and not have had an abortion. This one hit me the most, because all I can think about is that child who is in the womb could have been a huge impact to our society. Meaning, this child could have found the cure for a disease, or this child could have saved a life down the road. Everyone is born with a gift or gifts, and this child did not even get the opportunity to act upon their gifts. Mothers could have these thoughts running in their heads as well, and then they feel depressed and sad about their decision.
Another topic that I found that was for abortion was the one that deals with if the mother is in danger. If the mother is in danger then, this article stated that it was okay for her to have an abortion because her life was at risk. This argument I find compelling because if the women is at risk, there is no sense for two life’s to be guaranteed a loss. So in this case the women’s choice to have the baby or not is in a sense okay, in my opinion.
