Is Abortion wrong or right?

No one really knows that if it’s right or wrong. Abortion is the removal of foetus from the womb before it can survive. If you did have an abortion, you would be killing a child even before it would start its childhood. Around 42 million abortions performed every year worldwide. Would you kill someone innocent that you make you happy?
Abortion is one of the most polarising moral issues. Most people are on one side or the other, very few are undecided.
In this speech, I am going to tell you the reasons for and against abortion. So, is Abortion wrong or right?

Some people would agree that abortion is right and there are many reasons to it. A woman has the right to decide what happens to their body. If they wanted to something with your body then you could do it. All women have the right to decide what on what they want to do. Also, it could be a serious risk to the mother’s life if the pregnancy continues.
Did you know that, over thousands of people die after having an abortion?
Furthermore, some mothers can’t cope with their child after their pregnancy. How would you like it if your child screams and cries all the time and, you couldn’t get any piece?

However, some people would disagree and think that abortion is wrong. Every unborn baby in this world are unique, different and they have potential personalities. Abortion can goes wrong. It can give mental and physical risks to women. Furthermore, some people thinks that the baby if a gift from God and only God has the right to end to take away the pregnancy.

Many religions have different opinions when it comes to abortion. For example, many Christians have different views about abortion.
Some Christians believe abortion is always wrong because it is murder and it is against God’s will. Life is holy and it belongs to God, only god had the right to end the pregnancy. Whilst, some Christians believe that it is wrong but it must be allowed in some circumstances as the lesser of two evils. If the mother is going to die, the abortion would be the right time to take it.

Most Muslims also think that abortion is wrong but it must be allowed if the mother’s life is in danger. Some Muslims think abortion is allowed until it comes to their 120 day of pregnancy because that is when the foetus receives its soul. Muslims believe that if the foetus hasn’t had its soul, then it’s not a human yet. Therefore, Muslims would say this is a circumstance.

Some Sikhs also believe abortion is wrong except, when the mother has been raped or her life is at risk. They believe this because, Sikhism teaches that life is sacred.
Some Sikhs believe in the UK law which is it abortion can be carried out in the UK if two doctors agree on many things like if the mother’s life is at risk or, there is a risk or injury to the mother’s physical or mental health.

Many people with different ethical opinion such as a egoist and a altruist. An egoist is someone who makes moral decisions for the good of themselves. An altruist is someone who makes moral decisions for the good of others. An egoist would take the abortion because they care about their future. The baby would stop some of their work and career. Furthermore, they wouldn’t want the pain and stress. However, an altruist wouldn’t take the abortion because; they wouldn’t want a life to die as the life hasn’t done anything wrong to the person. They would think that babies are unique in their own way and, they all have different personalities no matter what.

I believe that abortion is wrong as I think that abortion is a bit like murder. How would you like it if you kill a child who has done nothing wrong to you? Everyone in this world is unique and nothing can change that. Abortion is always a risk as some women who had abortion had their cervix and womb damaged.

So, there really isn’t answer on this question but there are many different opinions on it.
