Everyone has different views on abortion; and there are many different reasons as to why people to decide to have a termination and why people think it is terrible to have an abortion. The main reason i can think of as to why people are against abortion is to do with religion, and they are pro-life which is fair enough, but if someone is pregnant and it doesnt feel right and they arent ready then should they be expected to carry on with the pregnancy and have a baby? For example if a young girl is pregnant and still at school, then it isnt really the right time for her; this is because it will give her so much stress juggling a baby and school work, and there can also be a lot of prejudice on teenage moms which could lead to her being bullied.Personally i think it is up to the individual; even though it would be a very very difficult decision to go through with an abortion, if it isnt right for that individual to be pregnant then i dont think it would be right to make them keep the baby.
Heres a link to some true stories from people who have had abortions and how it has affected them: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2006/oct/27/healthandwellbeing.society
I agree with you. I feel sympathy towards people who get pregnante by accident or through rape, but due to religious reasons they can't have an abortion.
ReplyDeleteit must also be hard for older religious people, for example, in eastenders Zanabe Massood got pregnante after har three children had grown up and she was getting ready to focus on herself, but due to religious reasons she had to keep the baby.
A film that hits on this subject is The Magdalene Sisters.
