A large number of women today are facing unplanned pregnancies. Abortion is one of the decisions that these women have to decide on the pregnancy. Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in the world today. A pregnant woman has to decide whether to abort, parent or adopt the unborn child. Many issues that are surrounding abortion make it harder to decide whether to encourage it or not. To agree whether the unborn is human, we have to go through the stages of development of the unborn child, and deciding whether the unborn is a person, or just a fetus will still be hard. In some countries abortion is illegal; other countries permit it but have different limits. Some of the issues that women consider when having an abortion is; if the

According to Philip Brocoum’s Woman Commit Murder If They Don’t Have Sex and Why Abortion Is Okay, abortion is not murder because the fetus is not fully developed and thus it cannot live on its own. The fetus is dependent on the mother’s body. Thus it is not on its own and that it has no life just as an arm is attached to the body and it has not life by its own. Life can be defined as anything that consumes food, produce offspring, grows and thinks but this definition is contrary because plants do not think but they are alive, so we can argue that one can know life when he or she sees it (Condit 65). There being no vibrant definition of life means that we do not know what when life starts, and it will not be clear to say that life begins at conception. Brocoum states that human being kills many things for example germs, trees, cows and bugs and thus abortion is killing something or someone which is okay. He states that we kill another human being like the elderly, criminals, ourselves through suicide, and others in wars and self-defense. Therefore life cannot be said to be sacred. Killing is necessary and in fact unavoidable to help to make our lives at ease. A fetus cannot be called human because it cannot think, it cannot feel pain, and it can never regret why it was not born. People makes a mistake to call fetus human just because it is capable to become human (Reicher, Steve, and Nick 267). The good of …show more content…
Aborting the unborn or deciding to have a child will cost the woman in one way or the other. According to Susan Neiburg, in her book, Abortion-Facing the Issues, she states that withholding information from women will affect their entire lives and it is both demeaning and dangerous. Doctors will not have a deep explanation or give the women seeking abortion enough knowledge about the abortion. She states that no one ever told her about the emotional side of abortion, she went through and still going through severe mental problem having to hate herself, grieving and wanting it to be that she never chose abortion, but she knows she will never escape the fact. Psychologically and emotionally a woman who chooses to abort will be haunted, taking away an innocent life for the wrong of another is not okay (Guinn 89). Asking herself, what if her parent chooses to abort her? Two wrongs do not make a right, whatever the conditions there are with the pregnancy, it should never be terminated. A child never chooses to be born, or even conceived; it is always a responsibility of another human being but there should no choice on whether to have let the child grow in you or not Ethos Bauer admits that her daughter had Down syndrome, but she never aborted. She states that there is a very good relationship and bond between her and her child,
