Topic > Why abortion should remain legal - 713

Abortion should be available and should be a human right! Abortion is a woman's right that should not be limited by governmental or religious authority. Protecting this right is not only a health issue, but also a human rights need. Therefore, it should be considered illegal. I say it should be legal for these three reasons. Abortion should be available because without it it poses a safety hazard. Furthermore, no abortion means more overpopulation and infanticide. Finally, involuntary childbirth can ruin a woman's life and constitutes a violation of her human rights. Abortion is a safety hazard if it is not legally available. When women deem it absolutely necessary, they choose to have an abortion, in secret, without medical care, in dangerous circumstances. “In the two decades before abortion was legal in the United States, it was estimated that nearly one million women a year underwent illegal abortions. Thousands of people died." Without abortion available, there are far fewer victims. With a legal option, there are fewer deaths. “Studies of abortion services around the world have found that abortion-related deaths are rare in countries where the procedure is legal, accessible and performed […] by trained providers.” Therefore, if abortion is available, it is almost perfectly safe. Finally, abortion is, above all, safer than childbirth. “In the United States, the risk of maternal death due to abortion is 0.6 per 100,000 procedures, making abortion approximately 14 times safer than childbirth (8.8 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births).” Therefore abortion is overall smarter and safer than birth. All these quotes demonstrate that the mortality rate with abortion is significantly lower than without abortion, and abortion is safer. This quote shows that abortion is safer for women's health. If there is a...... middle of paper ......ob= Less money= ☹, then with having a child can come disruptions in a woman's education, thus interfering with their pursuit of happiness. This quote from Roe v. Wade proves it. Finally, it could render her broke and jobless, this quote speaks for itself, "It stops her employment" In the worst case scenario, the birth can cause a woman to lose her job and end up living on the streets, living on food stamps in poverty . shadow of a better life. This shows that birth can make or break a woman, and by violating her human rights, it can destroy her. Abortion gives pregnant women a say during their pregnancy. Abortion should be available because without it it poses a safety hazard. Furthermore, no abortion means more overpopulation and infanticide. Finally, unintended childbirth can ruin a woman's life. Without abortion, pregnant women would be deprived of their human rights!
