Abortion

Abortion, what are your thoughts?

Abortion is a really big topic in today's society. People are talking about it left and right, is it good? Is it bad? Is it worth it?  Some people may say yes, and some people may be against it.  There are definitely two sides to an argument about abortion, one being pro-life or pro-choice/abortion.  Personally, I am not either of them. So I will express some examples and information for both sides.  I am not necessarily "for it" per say, but then again, I am also not "against it".  If you want to have an abortion, good for you, go for it.  However, if you don't think it's a good idea, then that's your opinion and people would have to respect you.  According to this article on abortion: http://www.abortionfacts.com/ Fact #1 states that having an abortion kills a human being. Yes this is true, but it's the own persons choice if they want to kill their unborn child.  Fact #5 basically says that if you don't want to have a child, then don't get pregnant. Well, it isn't as simple as all that, some pregnancies are unplanned, or the mother could have been raped.  Fact #11 says that having an aborting is more dangerous than actually giving birth.  Some mothers might not be having an abortion because they feel fear, they might be having it because they just don't want a child, or can't support it financially.

There are benefits and disadvantages to having an abortion, obviously some being good and some being bad.  Some of the benefits include, but are not limited to the following. It is considered to be one of the easiest and convenient ways of getting rid of unwanted and unplanned pregnancies.  Many women also suffer from from various hazardous medical conditions such as heart disease, kidney disease, sever hypertension, sickle-celled anemia, severe diabetes etc.  All of these diseases can be life threatening, and an abortion often helps to avoid serious medical complications such as child birth.  Having an abortion also helps limit the size of a family.  If the carrier is too young, or perhaps too immature, having an abortion can undo that mistake, though at the cost of killing the unborn child.  

Some of the disadvantages include, but are not limited to the following.  An abortion can be considered as a brutality and do not give the child a chance at life.  This is frowned upon by many religions all across the world.  Having an abortion always lessens the chance of having a child later on in life.  Though it is not a mandatory phenomenon, it can definitely happen, leaving the woman childless forever.  Some women may think that they can mess around all they want and just have an abortion and everything will be alright.  It doesn't necessarily work like that, if you keep having abortion after abortion, soon you won't be able to actually have a child when you want one.  Though if you don't ever want one, and keep having multiple abortions, it can still mess you up.

Adoption is also another way to have a child if you are not comfortable giving birth and have an abortion.  Some statistics of adoption are as follows.
The age of children waiting to be adopted:
1-3 years: 26%
4-6 years: 19%
7-9 years: 15%
10-14 years: 20%
15+ years: 12%
