Question

There has always been controversy surrounding a woman’s right to have an abortion. Give each side of the argument and briefly discuss your opinion on the subject.

Answer 1

The side for abortion would be that each woman has a right to decide what she wants to do with her body as the fetus is growing inside her own body. Another thing is that under international classifications a fetus is cont considered to be a human being until a certain age. 

The side against abortion would be that making an abortion under any circumstance would be the destruction of human life and that would be equated to murder which is illegal.

Answer 2

Answer:

The first side I will discuss is the side I strongly disagree with, this being the anti-abortion side. Typically, the people who are against women having abortions are extremely uneducated so I will cut them some slack, but they believe that by allowing a woman to have an abortion is a form of murder. The other side believes it should be legal to have an abortion. I support abortion because you can only get it in early stages of pregnancy, and at this point the “baby” isn’t even really alive yet. It has no heartbeat and just isn’t living. By not allowing a woman to get an abortion, you take away all of her basic rights. Imagine if you were a young girl, maybe 15, and a man took advantage of you. How would you feel if you, at your young age, had to then be forced into giving birth to a baby you can’t take care of, and is related to the man who did that to you? Not to mention the extreme stress it would cause. On top of that, if a woman truly does NOT want that child, she will likely attempt to give herself a miscarriage or abortion herself, or go to a place to have it done that isn’t safe. By having it legal, at least then extreme damage wouldn’t happen.
