3 million abortions are completed yearly in the USA and 43 million worldwide. It is wrong to kill an innocent unborn baby. They deserve a chance at life, and with abortion, they don't get that. Abortion should be illegal.
For starters, abortion should be illegal because it is murder. People say that the baby is not really alive and that it is totally unaware, but in reality its heart and brains are the first things to develop. The heart and brain develop about 18-20 days after conception. Furthermore, You are taking a life and killing a human being. The baby is alive and not just some 'group of cells' abortion doctors call them. This confirms that it is not right to kill an unborn baby. Finally, abortion inflicts suffering on the unborn child and during the abortion process, the unborn child feels pain. All are born with the will to live and they deserve a chance at life. This points out that those who choose to have an abortion are painfully putting a child to death. If we can make abortion illegal, we can save millions of babies' lives. .
Secondly, abortion should be illegal because it causes negative health problems for women. One big mental health problem that a woman might get after having an abortion is psychological problems such as suicidal thoughts and actions. Studies from the Catholic Insight Group show that 10%-20% of women that get an abortion suffer from this. (Catholic Insight) Psychological problems are things that women will have to deal with for the rest of their life. Another negative health problem is guilt. 55% of women express guilt after 8 weeks. (Post Abortion Syndrome-Abortion After Effects and and Symptoms) This proves that abortion can cause problems for you and that we need to abolish abortion. Lastly, some women can experience incomplete abortion. Fetal parts or other products of pregnancy may not be completely emptied from the uterus, requiring further medical procedures.
