Keep Abortion Legal In America we have always preached free speech and free will, but yet we still feel it is necessary to tell a woman when and how to have a baby. Having a baby should always be a woman's choice. No man or woman should have the right to step in and make that decision for her. How can someone who knows nothing about your past or present struggles tell you that you have no choice but to have this baby because, since abortion is now illegal, how would you feel? Abortion is the act of terminating a fetus within the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. The question of whether abortion is legal or illegal has been an ongoing issue for centuries now. I believe abortion has become a huge controversy because we have allowed others to express their opinions regarding their religion and personal feelings to convince the world that abortion is wrong and that every child deserves a chance, when America should not be allowed to do so. decision for anyone. Abortion has been around for years according to an article titled “US Abortion Law”, abortion in America was made legal in 1973 by the Supreme Court, so why are we still focused on what a woman is doing behind her back closed doors. Women have been afforded the protection of the 9th and 14th amendments to have the right to privacy, that being said I feel that what a woman chooses to do with her body is no one's concern but her own and the father of her child is not born yet. Women should be able to exercise their right to free will and make the best decision regarding abortion, regardless of how others feel. When it comes to abortion, I believe it should always be left up to the woman to decide whether or not to have it. child or not. Having a baby is not easy... middle of paper... aborting for specific reasons, due to health reasons, or due to not being able to support the child, these are your reasons and only your reasons, that right should not be taken away from her.Works CitedAbort73exists.
