Abortion is a very touchy subject to a lot of people. Sometimes you can't even say the word "abortion" without getting disgusted looks from the people around you or getting a lecture about why it's a good thing. Abortion is not a good thing. Why should an innocent life be taken without even having the ability to defend itself? Why should a living thing be told that it doesn't have feelings or that it doesn't matter? Why should a baby not have the chance to live simply because of the poor choices of its mother? Abortion is not a good thing and should not be tolerated. Taking the life of an innocent human being should never be accepted like it is.
In the article, “This Is What Abortion Looks Like,” the author's main point is how abortion is a topic that not many people talk about and think is bad but, Wendy Davis, a Texas senator talked about it in public. The author also discusses her own battles with an abortion that she had. She states that the morning sickness made it difficult to take care of her two toddlers. She uses a lot of other excuses to her decision such as she didn’t know who the father was, she was depressed and she was poor. She basically says she wasn't in the best place in life to have another child and she made a personal decision that would change her life forever. The author argues that abortion is not a topic that should be shamed and we as people should stop judging abortions as justified or unjustified. Personally, I agree with the author of the article on one thing; abortion should be talked about and more young women should be educated about it. …show more content…
Many women don’t know how abortion affects their baby, they just look at it as a way to fix a mistake they may have made by becoming pregnant in the first place. I don’t believe that this is right at all. In 2012, unmarried women accounted for 85.3% of all abortions. (U.S. Abortion Statistics) To me that seems like just a lot of women who felt alone, and like they couldn’t take care of a baby on their own. If more women were educated about abortion and other option, such as adoption, hundreds of thousands of babies wouldn’t have lost their lives in 2012. Many people don’t know just how early the baby begins to form. Twenty eight days from conception a baby has eyes, ears, and even a tongue! That’s not even a month after conception! 89-92% of all abortions happen prior to the 13th week of gestation. 58% of places that preform abortions, won’t even do them until 8 weeks gestation. At just eight weeks, every organ is present, the baby’s heartbeat is steady, the stomach produces digestive juices, the liver makes blood cells, the kidneys begin to function and the taste buds are starting to form. (Baby Developmental Facts - Prolife Across America) Abortions may occur for many different reasons. About 3/4, of the women who had abortions, say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities; about 3/4 say they cannot afford to take care of a child; and 1/2 say they don’t want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner. (U.S. Abortion Statistics) I believe that most of these are just excuses. If you can’t
