Topic > Abortion: A Necessary Option, Not a Crime - 733

There are many things in this world that people cannot agree on, such as: politics and religion. However, one of the most common things people argue about is abortion. I believe that in some cases abortion is a good option for a mother. There was this thing in the government called "separation of religion and state", which means your state can't make laws based on religion, that being said, I don't think the government has the right to tell us what we can and can't do . It should be a decision solely of the woman and her partner. Abortion is the act of terminating a pregnancy within a certain period of time, typically before the end of the first trimester. Many believe that abortions are murder; others think abortions are acceptable. We hear a lot in the news today about abortions becoming illegal in some states. States should not make abortions illegal, and they should not give women this choice because if women wanted to abort badly enough they would find somewhere else to do it and it would most likely not be safe for them “It seems unlikely that making abortion illegal will actually reduce the number of abortions every year." (Hansen) Abortion should be an option for every pregnant woman because if a woman were to become pregnant and knew that she did not want a child or could not adequately provide for it, then the child has no right to be born unwanted or poorly cared for. In the book Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights by Many pro-life groups believe that abortions are “murder,” however, I think that as long as there is no heartbeat you are simply killing cells, not a person. People also say why have an abortion when there is adoption? Although adoption is also a good choice, however, after women have given birth and heard their baby cry and were able to hold it, they may find it difficult to give their baby.
