The other reason that usually comes to mind for having an abortion is when the child is conceived due to rape or incest. This actually sounds like a legit reason for abortion. But the more you think about it...why should the baby be punished for the wrong doing of someone else. Although rape is an awful thing, if a baby is conceived as a result of that rape then it should be given the chance to live rather that aborted out of the hatred of the sexual offender. But on the other hand the mother should be given a choice to decide whether they have the baby or not because it wasn’t her decision to have sex and there was nothing they could do to prevent the abortion. And for incest, although the baby could be born with a birth defect, it should still be given a chance to experience life even if it is with a disability.
The last reason I would like to talk about is probably the most serious reason someone would have an abortion. That is when either the mother’s health is at risk, or the baby is guaranteed to live a short painful life. These two reasons are probably the most legit of all. Although abortion still should not be chosen, the mother should have that choice. If the decision comes down to the mother’s health being put at risk or having an abortion, then it is a really tough decision and that decision should be left up to the mother.
The final reason people have abortion is not one that is commonly thought of although it makes up around 14% of abortions. That reason is that the parent’s have relationship problems or are not ready for a baby. This reason is hardly a reason at all. If the couple is not ready for a child, they need to be more careful about protection during sex. There is no excuse for accidental pregnancy because pregnancy is a risk that is taken when someone has sex and a child should not have to die because people are careless and try to erase their mistakes.
After hearing all of this information what can be done? What should be done to try to stop the debate over abortion? Is there any way to please everyone? Well like almost everything in the world, there is no possible way to please everyone. But we can try to do what we think is right. With a situation like this the only way to solve it is to put people’s lives first. It’s better to let a person live than to let a woman make a decision. Justifying abortion IS like justifying murder. Just because someone wants to kill someone doesn’t mean they should have the right. Murder is murder and until we can prove that life doesn’t start until after birth then we should assume it starts at conception. Therefore I think that abortion should be illegal in all or at least most circumstances. If abortion were to be legal in any circumstances it should only be legal in very special circumstances such as rape, a threat to the mother’s health, and to save the child from a short painful life.
Allowing abortion without any restriction is unethical and is a serious problem that gives people an easy way out to their mistakes while killing thousands each day. Hopefully we can realize this and make a stand as a nation. Although doubtful, I can only hope that we outlaw abortion, at least in most cases.
