Keeping Abortion Legal
Abortion has been one of this country's most controversial topic on hand. But if one
sees the constitutional infringement to women by the restriction of abortion, the torment
to the unwanted child and the anguish society has to sustain,then this topic would not be
so debatable. Too many people do not see the cause and effect of not being able to have
abortions.
All human beings are given some inalienable right guaranteed by the Constitution. One
of those privilege is the right to pursue happiness. A baby can sometimes disrupt a
woman's pursuit of happiness. Even if she decides to give it up for adoption, she still
has the burden of carrying the fetus for nine months. Having the option to perform an
abortion can solve that obstacle. Taking away this right would be invading on a woman's
constitutional liberty.
The unwanted child also suffers. Most of the time the mother of the unwanted child is
very young and inexperienced or too poor to take care of the child. The child is usually
malnourished, has no medical care, and gets very little attention or love. The foster care
system isn't any better. Only a small percentage of the children are adopted by suitable
parents. But the rest remain in the foster care system, where there is little or no
personal care. In both cases, the child has a poor education because of the lack of
attention and discipline. He grows up to be unproductive individual or a menace to
society. Many get involved in drugs and crimes. These individuals are also very violent,
lacking morality due small amount of care they received themselves. In the long run, not
only does the child suffer but also society, who has to tolerate his violent behavior and
crimes.
An abortion can be seen as putting the child out of misery while he doesn't have the
ability to reason or fear. In short, abortion allows a woman to retain her constitutional
rights, it relieves a would be suffering child out of his distress and it establishes a
safer and more peaceful society. On these grounds, abortion should be kept legal, and even
encouraged to specific individuals, for benefits to all of us.
