Abortion: Should Not Be Legal

ABORTION: should not be legal

(Reaction Paper)

Life here on earth is a challenge, every second counts, every minute defines and every hour decides. No matter what, no matter why, no matter how and no matter it is with our times today may I ask you a question? Did you ever try to imagine yourself living in a dark empty cold place with no one to help you if you are in need? Did you ever ask yourself how lucky am I to live here on earth? To see how beautiful the world is? To experience the true essence of life?

Life is the greatest gift that God have given us, and so we must treasure and keep this present. Poverty, family problem, rape case and so many instances are just some of the reason of why many young women and other ladies are abortion because they cannot accept the fact that they are already pregnant with an unreasonable reason, but we all know that abortion is a crime so this must not be prohibited. Stopping the women's pregnancy means to destroy the embryo or of the fetus. That's why I can say that abortion is a grave murder which every lady commits.

Abortion is the worst thing a woman can do against human dignity. It is a crime against life. No woman has the right to kill a new living being. Many countries ban abortion and many institutions fight against it. Abortion is immoral and it should not be legalized.

Abortion is also a threat to the mother's health. A woman can suffer an infection or internal bleeding. She could also become sterilized, the permanent inability to bear a child. Abortion not only kills the baby but may kill the mother too. During an abortion, despite the use of local anaesthesia, according to what I have search at RNPEDIA.COM 97% of the women report severe pain, and if a more powerful drug is used she could suffer dangerous side effects. Many complications are common after an abortion, like inflammation of the reproductive organs. As well, there is strong evidence that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer. Women that abort increase their chances of getting breast cancer by 50%, and teenagers with no previous pregnancies that abort after the 8th week increase their probability by 800%. Unicef states that 250,000 women die every year because of legal and illegal abortions: 75,000 of them die of self-inflicted abortions; 75,000 die of convulsions; and the other 100,000 die of blood poisoning caused by an infection of the uterus. Therefore, if abortion is legalized there will be not only more fetal murders but also more mothers will die.

As a student, I firmly believe that abortion it should not be allowed in every part of the world since it kills early life of the fetus as well as the mother, "wala ka pa pero patay ka na". Many ladies are doing abortion because they their own reasons of doing it some do it because of fear, others because of guilt, depression, and the like.
