A frequently debated topic in today’s society is abortion. Many are for abortion and just as many are against it. There are many different arguments for each case. For example, pro-abortionists may say that, although the decision to have an abortion is never easy, nobody is better suited to make this decision than the mother, but anti-abortionists will say it is the baby’s choice, and as it cannot express its views, it has a right to live and therefore abortion is wrong. However, every pregnant woman has the right to take control of her fertility, and as no method of contraception is 100% safe, women may still need abortion, because the women has a right to have an active sex life but not have any children. Abortion may be her only option if contraception fails, and this may be viewed as fairer on the child than for it to be born into an un-loving, un-wanting family. We must respect some women’s decision not to have children. Besides, if a minority group disagrees with abortion, it has no right to force this view on anyone else, everybody should have the right to choose.
