Women have the right to decide !

Should abortion be legal? This is a public controversial question that has been inquired for many years. The legality, prevalence, and cultural views on this topic vary substantially around the world. According to the utilitarian belief if a significant number of women desire abortion then the government should make abortion legal. Women have the freedom to decide the correct decision for their future. Therefore, abortion is considered legal according to the usefulness it has on women’s lives. There is no God out there telling people what is good or bad for them. One of the main reasons why abortion has been abolished in society is due to religion. According to religion, women have to “accept” the purpose God has given them, but the truth is religion does not really determine what is wrong from right. What is good or bad is defined as what the majority of the people say so or the utility it has on the majority of society. For example, women have to decide what this unborn child will need and what implies giving birth to the baby. What if this child was conceived through rape? Should the women be forced to keep the baby under any circumstances? Relying on utilitarian belief, this decision must be grounded in individual perspective and view of the situation. I believe abortion is an ethical decision since it facilitates the lives of many young women around the world. There are many of them that are not prepared for the load of motherhood; abortion provides an opportunity to make up their minds and choose what is best for their situation.

  1. Abortion have been ilegal for many years and still women abort their babies, but why they do ir?? most of the time its because a sexually rapped, but still its nor morally good to abort a baby because you are killing a person, for the moment a sperm and a egg joins it make a person, so why killing it before him to know the world?, if you were rapped the little baby dosent have the guilt.why you say aborting the baby is an ethical decision why, why, why, your killing someone,your killing your son, your own blood!, so why are you doing sexual stuffs in a young age?why? if you dont want a baby and dont want to kill a baby just dont do it, or protect yourself!..think about it next time you tell its an ethical choice for YOUNG PEOPLE!
