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.

ABORTION IN SPAIN

Abortion in Spain has been legalized since July 5, 2010. It has been a quite controversial issue, however, nowadays global recession has pushed this matter into the background.

On the one hand, some people think it is a good idea if you are young and you have had an absentmindedness or if you know your baby is deformed and you do not want your baby to suffer a hard life. Moreover, it is a good way to stop a child’s birth whose mother has been raped. Some people defend this idea if children’s parents have trouble with drugs or money and know the baby’s life will be awful.

On the other hand, some people criticize abortion because it means taking the life of another human without punishment and say that if it is used as a contraception method it is not correct because contraception should be taken before. Furthermore, in case of rape, the child is not responsible, so he or she shouldn’t be killed. Women who have an abortion usually regret it later because this decision is usually taken when the women are young and inexperienced.

To conclude, I am definitely against this way of killing an innocent, nevertheless, I think people should be able to use this method in case of rape. The way I see it, abortion shouldn’t be legal or at least shouldn’t be so easy to get free from your responsibility.

ABORTION, SHOULD IT BE ALLOWED?

Nowadays, abortion is highly discusses, there are many opinions about that issue. Actually, it is difficult to have a clear position about abortion, since it is very controversial.

On the one hand, there are people who agree with abortion because they think that the unborn child cannot be considered a human yet. Others say that girls who have been rapped may have the option to abort so that they do not have to carry this misfortune for life. The other reason that supports abortion is that when a woman has a child, her life changes completely, especially for young school girls or women without enough money. For this reason, it may be irresponsible to have a child when you cannot take care of him. Moreover, some believe that a woman should have freedom or the right to decide about her own life, this means that she is the person who has to decide whether to abort or hot, and not the society. Finally, the major reason is that sometimes, the child that a woman is going to have can put his mother's life at risk, because of an illness or deformation, then, the woman should choose between her own lifer and her child's life.

Nevertheless, on the other hand, there are also many people who disagree what abortion since they think that a foetus, even though not a human, is a life, and it is said that a foetus' organs are almost completely formed at the fourth month, so, although being in his/her mother’s womb,  he can hear and fell. Moreover, though a rape is a misfortune, the child is innocent, and he or she does not have to pay what others did. People also believe that reasons such as money or mother’s age are not enough to kill a baby because the situation can change, while you are alive you have hope, but if you die, you do not have anything! For example, the woman may take government aid if she does not have money. And even a woman has the right to decide, but do not forget that she only has the right to decide about her own life, but not about her child’s life.

In conclusion, I think that abortion should not be allowed since a foetus is also a life, like you and me. So, please do not undervalue a life which doe not belong to you, in spite of being his mother. However, I believe that when a foetus can put his mother’s life at risk, then the woman can abort, since she has to decide when her own life is also involved. But I think this is the only reason that permits a woman to abort.
