SHOULD ABORTION BE LEGALISED?

Abortion in Spain has been legalized since 2009. While some people agree with this law, others disagree.


On the one hand, people who are against abortion, say that aborting means murdering, because you are killing a baby; a person who can’t decide whether to live or not. They think that people should be more responsible, that they ought to think more before acting, so that this wouldn’t happen.

On the other hand, people who are in favour of it, say that if the abortion takes place early, the baby isn’t formed yet, so, it doesn’t mean any murder at all. They also say that abortions are safe medical procedures, as less than 0.5% risk of serious complications, and that women should have the right to control their own body.

I think that aborting isn’t a good solution, because, as it is legalized, some people can see it as a normal thing and don’t care about it in the way they should. However, as I see it, there are some circumstances when you can justify it. For example, if you know that the baby is going to suffer from a serious illness, like degenerative or deadly ones, or if the woman has got pregnant involuntarily, because not aborting in these cases, would mean further psychological harm.
