English-Philosophy-AbortionThoughts about abortion Abortion proponents attempt to justify their point of view in many ways.The most touching of them all is that the woman needs to get an abortiondone if she gets raped. The idea is OK, but according to surveys donethose cases (rape or incest) constitute only a small part, 1 singlepercent, of the abortions done.Well, the pro-abortion women, especially the younger ones, would nowprobably say that it is her body and she has the right to do with it asshe pleases. So in principle , according to that, the woman would alsohave the right to steal with her body, sell it, or, vice versa, a man

would have the right to rape with his body. How far does the woman sright to her own body actually reach? Far enough to kill ? I don t thinkso. The second most common argument is that if the child was born it mightsuffer. Might? An unwanted child won t suffer if it isn t born,therefore it s better that it s killed. The logic of that escapes me! Weshould prevent suffering by murdering!So what should be done? What is needed? For a start, someresponsibility. There are a thousand ways to prevent an unwantedpregnancy from happening so why not use them? Those methods, if used,would decrease the number of useless abortions considerably.
