Abortion has been one of this country's most controversial topic on hand. Being pro-life you forget, the torment a women must have dealing with a unwanted child ,if you could overcome the moral factor maybe this topic would not be so debatable. Too many people do not see the cause and effect of not being able to have abortions. All human beings have rights guaranteed by the Constitution. One of those privilege is the right to pursue happiness. A baby can sometimes disrupt a woman's pursuit of happiness. Even if she decides to give it up for adoption, she still has the burden of carrying the fetus for nine months. Having the option to perform an abortion can solve that obstacle. Taking away this right would be invading on a woman's constitutional liberty.
There�s always a good reason to have a abortion, and it�s not like the women who is thinking of having on is being selfish or anything of that matter. Most of the time the mother of the unwanted child is very young and inexperienced or too poor to take care of the child. Therefore, the child is usually malnourished, has no medical care, and gets very little attention or love. The foster care system isn't any better. Only a small percentage of the children are adopted by suitable parents. But the rest remain in the foster care system, where there is little or no personal care. In both cases, the child has a poor education because of the lack of attention and discipline. He grows up to be unproductive individual or a menace to society.
An abortion can be seen as putting the child out of misery while he doesn't have the ability to reason or fear. In short, abortion allows a woman to retain her constitutional rights, it relieves a would be suffering child out of his distress and it establishes a safer and more peaceful society. On these grounds, abortion should be kept legal. It�s really not anyone business to label a women that has had a abortion �evil�, because until you are in that women�s shoes where you have to deal with a unwanted pregnancy, you really don�t know what you would do and how you would feel.
