Abortion is one of those
perpetual controversies that seem to never come to an end. Those who support it
and those who oppose it are constantly fighting for the “right choice”. But is
there really a “right” choice?
I believe that women should
have a legitimate reason for deciding not to have the child. There are several
things to consider when deciding whether to have an abortion or not. It must be
understood that what is being done is taking the life of unborn child. That’s a
pretty big deal. It’s a big deal. For this reason, there are many cases in
which women who have had abortions are constantly dealing with emotions such as
regret, guilt or disappointment. Emotional impact is likely and I don’t think
it ever completely goes away. Most situations of abortions occur when teenage
girls become pregnant. Why? Well, who wants to raise a child at 16? While I do
believe that taking the life of a child is wrong, I could understand why young
girls would make the decision to have an abortion. Knowing that you will not be
capable of providing a sufficient lifestyle for your child could be difficult
to accept. Most teenagers in high school do not have stable jobs to get through
on their own, much less while raising a child. Many times the child end ups
suffering the most. Through this point of view, I agree that I would much
rather raise a child knowing that I am capable of giving him or her a life
worth living. I don’t want to have to struggle to give my child the simplest
things. Then again, the life of an unborn baby is on the line. I wouldn’t be
able to make the decision to end it before they even got a chance to live it.
Of course there are other options such as giving the child up for adoption and
in my opinion, I would suggest this instead. However, much like deciding to
have an abortion, there will always be that lifetime emotional connection.
So, what is the right choice?
Maybe there isn’t one. It’s one of those situations where it’s hard to draw a
finite line, there is not right or wrong. It’s hard to say when it’s okay and
when it’s not. Ultimately, I strongly believe that every woman should have the ability
to decide whether they want to have an abortion or not.
I agree with you because in my opinion, abortion is morally wrong and for me considered murder. Being a religious person, I feel that it is not merely a personal choice but a grave offense against God and his creation. Whether it is a teen or an older woman, I feel that they should take responsibility and take care of the precious life they brought into this world.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement stating that there is no correct answer on whether receiving an abortion is right. With my religious views I personally believe there should be no option. I understand that raising a child while you are still growing is possibly one of the worst scenarios to put yourself in, but I just disagree with the thought of taking a life. That's murder. I agree with a majority of your opinion but personally I feel abortion is wrong.
ReplyDeleteI agree that a better alternative is to give the child in adoption if someone isn’t capable of raising the kid. In my opinion, abortion is something unethical since it’s a life being taken away and never the right answer. If a teen isn’t ready for a child then they should know of ways to prevent it. By not preventing it, they have a higher chance of getting pregnant and why do something they will regret.
