In one of my classmate’s article, The Case for Life, she explains why she believes abortions should be illegal. I respect her opinion, but I believe that women should have their personal choice on whether they want to conceive a baby or not. Because it is their own body, there should not be a law forcing someone to have a baby once that individual becomes pregnant.
People have different opinions as of when a human life really beings. While some people believe that life begins the moment of conception, others believe that human life does not begin until birth, sense we celebrate birthdays. One of the main reasons abortions should not become illegal is because of one fundamental principle “of America democracy is that no one can impose their religious beliefs on others.” Sense anti abortionist are usually based on religious beliefs, there shouldn’t be a law where religion would affect others who think differently. If abortions where to become illegal, some women would still try to get an abortion, which can be dangerous and unsanitary because the procedure most likely will not be done properly. It is also important to understand the situation one may be in when a woman wants to abort her fetus. Some women who have been raped and become pregnant should not be forced to have the baby if she does not want to. They may be mentally scarred from being sexually abused, and having a child with a man who has harmed her can cause the woman many problems. Because of these reasons, I personally believe abortions should not become illegal, and remain a choice for all women.
