Well I am for abortion because the woman should have the right to choose. In my opinion, a woman's right to choose is imperative, important above all else. Like proven in Roe v. Wade, a woman's right to privacy her right to choose whether or not to carry a child is more important than the rights of the unborn. Typical American rights freedom of speech, rights to drive, vote, and drink, freedom to do and say what one wants do not take effect until after an individual's birth. A fetus is not yet a human being; it is a mass of tissues and organs that has the potential to become a human being. So if a woman is not ready to have a child she shouldn't, you wouldn't want the child to be raised bad. The concepts of rights is based on the existence of an actual, fully formed individual. Just as the dead no longer living beings have no discernable rights, neither does the fetus not yet living beings.
I am against abortion for a couple of reasons. I believe adopting instead of aborting is a better decision. Abortion is murder. Condoms are available and inexpensive. There are also other forms of birth control. Some people say it's their choice so I think people should choose wisely, by not killing a baby. There are also many programs in the U.S. that will aid people financially, for people who claim to be financially unfit to raise a child. So that is a solution instead of committing murder to the unborn.
