Sean Wotring - Abortion
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal of the embryo or fetus, which causes death. Since 1973, when the U.S. ruled abortions were legal in the Roe vs. Wade case, abortions have been the most common sugical procedure. About 1.3 million abortions occur each year in the United States. Non-white women are three times as like to have an abortion as white women.
Many abortions take place because the mother simply made a mistake or just can’t handle a child in their life at the moment. An abortion may allow the mother to realize her mistake and learn from it. She will have the capability to go to school and get a good job. If the child was in the life of the mother her chances at an education and good job would be hindered by the child. The mothers lack of money, may also hurt the child down the road. The child may not have an oppurtunity to get an education, these are reason why you would want an abortion option available.
Abortions are used to prevent the birth of babies with genetic defects or the birth is unwanted for social stigmas, or economic hardship. Many people can’t decide whether or not to keep abortions legal or make it illegal. This dilemma occurs because people can’t agree when life begins. This controversy has resulted in debate between pro-choice and pro-life advocates. There has been no agreement between the two sides so abortion has remained legal.

Sean, I like your post about abortion. Many abortions take place because the pregnancy was un-planned and the woman is not ready for the child. I agree it is hard to draw the line when the child life begins, but I agree that in some cases abortion is necessary. There are some health issues that can arise and abortion might be necessary in order to prevent future complications of the mother and child. Also I believe that abortion should be necessary when they know the child will be deformed or crippled. It is not fair for the child to suffer for the rest of his or her life.
