Abortion

Is abortion right or wrong? This is a debate that has gone on for years, swaying back and forth from illegal to legal. Are you pro-life or pro-choice; is it murder or is it getting rid of something you don’t want? One of the major arguments is, “When does life begin?” Among those who call themselves pro-life, 88% say life begins at conception. Among those who are pro-choice, only 23% believe life begins at conception (When does life begin). I believe life begins at conception; but I still think abortion is wrong no matter when you think life begins. God put that child in its mother’s womb for a reason. The child should have the right to live and fulfill its purpose in life. If you think about it, would you like to have been killed? Abortion is murder, no matter what the situation is. If a mother doesn’t want to keep the baby, she can put it up for adoption; there is no need to kill it.

Those who are pro-choice believe there should be a choice to whether you want to keep the baby or not. When they were asked when abortion should be illegal, only 15% said anytime after brain waves are observed.

About 1.5 million American women have abortions each year. There are many different factors and reasons as to how this number got so high. First, we have the age factor. Women ages 18 to 24, which is the majority of our childbearing population, have 44% of all abortions. Then the money factor comes into play. Women with a family income of less than $15,000 are four times as likely to have an abortion as a family with an income of $60,000. Race is also a factor, but not a very big one. Blacks have about 31% of all abortions, while whites have up to 61% of abortions. Finally, there is the prevention factor. More than 57% of abortion patients say they used birth control during the first month of conception. Fifty-five percent of abortion patients have never ended a pregnancy before. Sixty-six percent plan to have children in the future (Who Has Abortions).

anytime during pregnancy (When does life begin). It is getting so easy and cheap for people to have an abortion that it is becoming a type of birth control. Abortionists believe that you’re not really killing the fetus, since it was never alive. They also believe that if you were raped then you shouldn’t have to keep it because you didn’t want it. Finally, there is the point that they believe a fetus cannot think.

I do not believe that a mother should be able to have an abortion if she was raped. Why should they have the voice he
