Abortion

There are many different views on abortion today. According to Rachel Jones and Kathryn Kooistra (2011), 1.21 million children were killed in 2008. Don’t you think that it’s unjust to take those children’s lives from them? Those children are getting killed in the name of abortion. This does not only kill the child but it also has a huge effect on the women. Abortion should be illegal because you are taking the life of an unborn child, you are also effecting the life of the women in the future, altering the physical effects on a women, and causing the women to have mental emotional effects that might stick with her to the end of her life.
Activists always argue that it’s a women’s right to do what she want’s to her body. Is it a women’s right to kill her unborn child in the name of abortion? Where is the human right in justifying that? Where has humanity gone when you decide to kill an unborn child? Don’t the child have any rights to live and enjoy his life?
Abortion might effect the future life of a women regarding relationships. A study by Jones, Finer and Singh (2008) shows that “33% of all abortions by women aged between 20-24”, and 25% of them cannot conceive a child after the abortion. This changes a women’s life.

Another physical effect that Gary and Harrison (2006) believe is death. Also, the Women Exploited By Abortion organization showed that abortion leads to shock and comas. As Puja (2011) also cited, abortion might cause abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. According to the “Hand book on abortion” by Wilke (1979), abortion might lead to cervical cancer. Those are a few reasons that abortion should be
Several emotional effects that woman who had an abortion face, as Cougle, Reardon and Coleman (2005) discussed, are anxiety. Many women regret the choice of aborting their child. They tend to feel guilty about the decision for the rest of their lives as Pavone said in his study. Another study done by Friedman (1974) showed that of 500 aborted women, fifty percent expressed negative effects towards their decision.
All in all, abortion should be illegal because it is taking the life of an unborn child. It also might effect the future of the women regarding her relationships. It also have a huge physicals effects, such as breast cancer, possibility of death, shocks, comas, abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and cervical cancer. Another reason that a women should not kill her child is that she will have mental and emotional effects, such as anxiety, feelings of guilt and regret. Therefore, abortion should be illegal because of these adverse
