Keep abortion legal

Many think that abortion should be legalized in all countries. The issue of abortion is one of the most controversial topic discussed today, especially amongst teenagers. Many people define abortion as murder. To put it in better terms, it is more of a "termination of pregnancy that results in the death of the fetus, but it is usually used to describe pregnancies that are intentionally terminated rather than to describe miscarriages or abortions that occur naturally" ("Facts on Pregnancy and Abortion"). There are many facts on the issues of abortion such as" nearly half of the U.S. women will have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old" (Planned Parenthood).
