Reasons for abortion. (February 8, 2005) News report of BBC website. Retrieved October 20, 2008, from http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/legal/when_1.shtml



Shall woman have the abortion rights? There are two opposite views and attitudes on the question. No matter which side you stand by, it triggers a great debate on the issue. Instead of abort the pro-life at will, I approve that woman can choose to abort her embryo after her consideration.

However, could we define abortion as murder? Look upon the other two articles. One shows the reasons of abortion, and the other reported about the march about women who strives for their abortion rights. Both articles told people that women are struggle to get the right of choosing whether they should abort or not through their careful thoughts.

I believe that there must be several factors for a mother to abort her baby. If the government restricts women’s abortion rights, what can these mothers do when they could not afford to keep a child? Do these mothers have to abort covertly in illegal clinics? It may damage women’s health and become a greater problem to the society.



Revised version

Shall woman have the abortion rights? There are two opposite viewpoints and attitudes on the question. No matter which side you stand by, it triggers a great debate on the issue. Instead of aborting the pro-life at will, I approve that woman can choose to abort her embryo after her consideration. However, could we define abortion as murder? Look upon the two articles. The first article describes about the reasons of abortion. Women who choose to abort her baby because of many factors such as poverty, government policy, birth control, and so forth. The other news report introduces the march about women who strives for their abortion rights. Both articles represent that women are struggle to get their right of choosing whether they should abort or not through themselves.

I believe that there must be many difficulties for a mother to make the decision of aborting her baby. If the government restricts women’s abortion rights, what can these mothers do when they could not afford to keep a child? Do these mothers have to abort covertly in illegal clinics? It may damage women’s health and become a greater problem to the society. Misunderstanding often happens when people forget to think for others. Women are the protagonist of the problem. If people could stand by women’s side and try to respect every woman’s unique situation, maybe the problem would not trigger such a great dispute.
