Essay, Research Paper: Abortion In Society

We live in a nation built on the idea of freedom, freedom of choice and freedom
of expression, yet we are not free. Abortion is an ever-present choice that every woman
should and does have, not based on ones financial situation, cultural background or even
age; it’s a choice that every woman has the right to. There are too many children being
abandoned and given up for adoption every day and there should be some responsibility
for ones actions, the children should not have to suffer for their parent’s faults. An
abortion is a right as an individual, the right to decide what happens with ones body and
the freedom to chose their own future.
Abortion is a woman’s right and choice. In 1973 Roe vs. Wade was a landmark
trail, which led to the legalization in all states for a woman to have an abortion. It is also
the woman’s right to privacy with this abortion, because without legal abortion women
would be denied their constitutional right of privacy and liberty. If abortion were illegal
it would force poor women to bear and raise children they can't afford to bring up. There
would be a number of unsafe abortions in back allies, causing harm to both the baby and
the mother. It would also force women to give up their dreams and stay home to bring up
babies. Worst of all, it would condemn victims to rape and incest to carry and nurture the
offspring of their rapist. Who would stand for something that would allow this to
happen? Women shouldn’t feel scared to have an abortion either. They should have to
think about what is going to happen to them as they try to get an abortion, yet they do
because they are picketing people outside harassing them. Some of the activists actually
take it to extremes, such as bombing abortion clinics. Why would someone who believes
in pro-life want to kill someone? Woman are born with rights, right to privacy and the
right of choice.
Adoptions are happening everyday, children picked to live with a family
deemed suitable for them. People as a whole can appreciate the idea of adoptions that a
child who has been given away by his true parents can go and live with a substitute
replacement family who needs a child to care for. The idea in principle is good, yet it
usually turns out to be a problem as the child develops and starts to wonder where they
came from and why their parents didn’t love them enough to keep them. There are so
many people who are having abortions, I don’t understand how someone could make the
decision to go through nine months of carrying their own baby and then give it up to
someone else. Abortion was mad to help people who didn’t have much of a choice and
were down to their last options. Many kids who have been adopted have turned out to go
through emotional traumas, thronging to fill a void in their life they feel they are missing.
The main cause of abortion is to help those who have been victim and those
who cannot support themselves, let alone a child. Rape is a horrible reality that still
occurs, it happens to innocent victims who can’t protect themselves. Why should they be
the ones to suffer and carry this baby not by choice? There are already enough worries
and problems in life, than to have a child when you are not prepared or able to provide
for that child. Kids who are pregnant should have the same right to an abortion, just
because they made a mistake they shouldn’t have to spend the rest of their lives making
up for that mistake. It’s shouldn’t come to the point where they need to drop out of
school and give up their dreams to work day and night to support their child, they realize
that they have made a mistake and they have the choice to have an abortion. A child
should not have to go through the pain, wondering if or when they are going to get their
next meal.
Abortion is not a choice, it’s a right. A right every person is entitled to based
on our constitution and the first amendment of freedom of choice. Who can try and tell
someone that abortions are unjust and barbaric when children die of starvation and abuse
everyday. Don’t be stubborn, think about who’s life you are affecting.
