September is so-called “a month of abortion” in Taiwan. Many teenage girls become pregnant accidentally during the summer vacation, so whether they should abort or not become a tough choice for these girls. Nowadays abortion seems to be more and more common. However, is abortion just an issue about woman's right?
In a news report of Yahoo news online, it mentioned that an Australian state, Victoria, was about to pass an abortion bill which give woman the sole choice of whether to terminate or proceed with the pregnancy. Currently, woman there can abort only when doctor thinks pregnancy would harm the health of the mother. Another report of BBC radio said that one in four UK women have had a termination and the number is on the rise. The report also investigated people’s views about young girls’ pregnancy. Both reports have triggered great controversies.
Abortion is not an issue about woman’s right, but a serious challenge of morality. Those anti-abortion group protest against the bill, because they think abortion is equal to murder. But on the other side, does woman have no rights to abort if she does not want to have a child? Does woman who get pregnant unexpectedly have to abort covertly?
In my opinion, I approve that woman have the right to abort her embryo through consideration. It does not mean to murder a little life at will, but a result of a mature thinking. An embryo is also a precious life certainly; however, if the mother could not afford to keep a child and make her child grow up in a good environment, abortion might be the best option for her.
Instead of feeling regret to have a baby, it is much better to have a correct idea about sex, especially for those juveniles. Parents should tell them the serious consequence after having sex, and teach them to use condoms to prevent from pregnancy.

If the new bill becomes law, abortion will be removed from the Crimes Act, giving the woman the sole choice of whether to terminate or proceed with the pregnancy.
