I think abortion should be looked at through a case by case method. If a woman was raped and ended up conceiving a child through the circumstances but couldn't abort the child, due to abortion being illegal, it may cause significant stress on the mother during the pregnancy which may lead to a miscarriage or a mental breakdown. Which isn't fair on the woman who was forced to go through this ordeal. It could be argued that she could carry the child to term and then give it up for adoption, but the woman has to carry the child for 9 months, which is 9 months of being reminded of what she has been through. Where if she had the option of an abortion she might have come to terms with what she's been through and moved on. Or if it is found that the mother has a condition, or develops a condition, where either or both mother and child would die if the pregnancy was continued I could agree if the there was an abortion offered in an effort to save the mother's life, though it could be debatable on why save the mother and not the child.
As for the woman who have an abortion because they don't want children or won't carry the child to term due to not wanting to go through pregnancy or through contraceptives not being used/failing, I don't agree with them having the option to go through with abortions but then again there could be circumstances which may lead to the woman having to have the abortion.
What's your opinion on Abortion? Do you think it should be legal, or Illegal?
