Abortion

Abortion is a very controversial topic and everyone has his or her own opinion. I don’t really
believe in abortion and I would never have one but my opinion of abortion is if you are against
it you shouldn’t have one. Abortion does kill a human child. The child may not be very old or
very well developed, but it is still a baby that needs food and water and can feel pain and hear
and see and jump up and down. I believe that abortion is actually a good idea if the pregnancy
will probably kill the mother or if the fetus is not and can never be viable outside of the womb. I
have looked around to find the pro-choice arguments that I think are the most convincing
arguments for abortion and tried to answer them with my own opinion in a way that is as
convincing as the way they are presented.

As a student I think an abortion would be even harder for me now than if I was older. Killing a
baby that has never done anything to deserve death would make me very depressed. In
addition, I think that many girls probably feel they have no other choice. If schools and colleges
provided free childcare during school hours, girls could drop their babies off and visit between
classes.

I think that if girls had more choices like this fewer girls would have abortions. Even if schools
have no childcare, a girl living close to her mother, grandmother or even grandfather or father
might be able to leave the baby with them for the day. Also, there are many, many more
eligible families who want to adopt a baby than their babies up for adoption. Abortion kills a
baby that could make another family happy.
