A huge controversy between our country is, should or should we not welcome abortion in America. Many humans feel very strongly about the topic abortion so I figured us as Americans need to know more about it to make an informed decision for our beliefs. Abortion is the practice of terminating a baby during pregnancy. Abortion is accepted and done for many reasons but, also hated for lots of reasons as well. The publics different opinions on abortion are drastic in many cases and vary from different groups. Abortion is a broad topic we need to think about more often because every person’s opinion matters.
There are many reasons people agree with abortion one of the reasons is rape. Many people believe if you are raped then you should have the choice of not having the baby because it is the baby of a rapist not the person you love. Also young adults or teenagers sometimes have children and are not ready for the responsibility of being parents. Also they don’t want to go through school or start a job with a child when they could have an abortion and not have the stresses of a child. Some pregnant women have been threatened with their life’s with the state of the baby. “Some 75% of abortions in 2014 were poor or low-income” (www.guttmatcher.org). This quotes abortion by stating if you cannot afford finances of the baby, then abortion would get rid of the unneeded finance stress. Abortion provides an alternate solution for bad situations.
There are also many reasons against abortion including the fact that life is life even if it is not born yet. Also abortion is not supported by many religions including Catholics. A common response to abortion is you could just have given it up for adoption instead of terminating it. “Unborn children are deprived of life-the most basic right of all…”(www.abortionno.org). This quote supports against abortion because it states taking life away is illegal and it is shown in the civil rights act. Abortion is no different than murder.
The public opinion on abortion can vary from different groups like culture. More religious people are against abortion then unreligious people. Views of abortion by parties has a 15% increase of supporters for democrats than republicans. People with higher education are more likely to agree with abortion then disagree. “As 2016, public support for legal abortion is as high as it has been in two decades of polling. Currently, 57% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 39% say it should be illegal in all or most cases.” (www.pewforum.org). This supports how the public feels about abortion by giving the percentage of supporters and disagrees. There are lots of ways to separate people into groups and those groups have many different drastic opinions on abortion.
