Unwanted pregnancy

From my perspective, the answer to this question, frankly speaking, is NO! Not a single woman wants to abort a child, because unconsciously she wishes to be an affectionate mother. But considering awkward conditions in the woman's life, which may lead her to go for such an option, we must rethink the abortion procedure.

    The cases which can lead a woman to such a step are really worthy thinking of:

    1) What if in the course of the periodical checkups, in the early stages of pregnancy, the doctor informs woman that the baby has certain deformities? Both physical and mental deformities are objectionable. Would a woman want to bring up a child knowing beforehand that he or she will have certain disabilities for the whole life? It’s very expensive to bring up a normal child, but a child with serious deformities would probably cause additional financial burden. If a normal middle class family in majority of cases cannot afford it, a poor family will shudder at the possibility of owning such a child. One more issue, that has to be taken into account, is that observing the growth of a child, having any kind of disabilities is a daily torture for the parents. There are numerous types of serious deformities, for which even the modern medical system has no cure and answers, so, owning such a child is suffering and more suffering for all concerned. In this case the fear leads the mother to select the option of abortion.

    2) The second and not less important issue is the economic side of bringing up the child. Bringing up and providing proper education and living to the child demands strong financial background. So, family budget must be enough solid. But pro-life activists are arguing and have a valid argument. They allege that if the parents are unable to provide a child with all important needs and safety, they can hand it over to some family that is willing to adopt it. This can be easily accomplished after proper legal procedures. With this meaningful approach the baby gets a chance to live. Who really knows what is in store for it in its future life, it may prove to be talented and brilliant amongst other children, and this could be the brighter side of the picture. Analyzing this idea, I made certain research, which helped me to find out the disadvantages of this procedure of adopting. Carrying a baby for nine month leads to maximization of mothering instincts. So, when it is time to separate the mother and the baby, most of the women go the limit to save the baby, leaving behind all the reasons for letting the adoption to occur. And finally when the separation is done, woman is left mentally depressed for the rest of her life.

   3) What if woman is raped? We often hear about unfortunate incidents of gang rapes, father raping one's own daughter, neighbors raping the minor girls. All these are unwanted pregnancies, and in no circumstances a women would like to mother such a child. The child will represent a reminding of this outrageous act to the mother for the whole life. So, after such a heinous act of raping, the woman must have the legal right to abort such a fetus. Rape leads to great emotional stress. Constantly watching a child grow out of the bitter rape experience is the double tragedy. I suppose, in rape cases, the woman must get the abortion done, whether it's legal or not. It’s better if legal facilities are provided for woman, in case not to get involved into the clandestine operation with the assistance of inexperienced hands. It's dangerous for the life of a woman. We all have seen in films, read in newspapers about the death of women who went through unprofessional abortions, because of the prohibition of abortion in their countries.

   I think that abortion of unwanted child is a conventional option in today's society. Many organizations strongly advocate that abortion should be legalized worldwide and that it should be left to women whether she should have a child or not depending upon her personal circumstances. I propose to legalize the abortion with two slight options. First of all is the right to have an abortion, finding out about hard deformities in child's organism. Second is legalizing abortion in "rape" cases. Talking about financial obstacles, I suppose, the countries, which ban the abortion should give the financial insurance to families, or if the government doesn't have such kind of facilities, it must give the opportunity to have an abortion.

   The prohibition of abortions leads to creating illegal organizations for abortions in which unprofessional assistance causes death and infertility. The abortion must be immediately rethought in numerous countries, and religious views mustn't be involved in such a tough issue. The government should legalize the abortion and take it under control. Take under control outrageous organizations of illegal abortions and give a woman the right to choose, comprehending the circumstances which led to such a choice.

Abortions has a lot of pros and cons. I am not supporter of abortions, but in some cases, abortion is necessary. But unfortunately, some women abuse with it.

Don't forget, before birth me, you, all of us were what you call "fetus", too. On that time nobody asked your opinion "hey fetus do you want to live or not?!". It means we also had a risk to be killed. killed At least, think about normal fetus, normal baby that can be borned. Why?
About religion, when people didn't realize what is fetus is, it was mentioned in "Kurani Kerim", before 14 centuries. Just cells even you can't see- become human-us. So it's not the problem of baby what his/her mother did...

thank you for your respond, dear classmates smile
First thing that i would like to ask is not to involve religion into this tough case.
Second - you're not killing a human, it's a fetus wacko
Orkhan S, i didn't mention the gender case, because i agree with you, in this case it shouldn't be legalized. Btw, gender is a huge problem for men, abortions in this case is first of all the decision of men. However,I was talking from the perspective of women.
And abortion has nothing to do with Euthanasia.

We cannot blame woman who aborts her infant because we do not know why she does it,maybe she has reasonable factors,but some women do it because of baby's gender and it is not acceptable!!!

What is the point of raising a children that you don't want or simply isn't ready for? Imagine being an unwanted kid or knowing that you were an accident?

And I don't believe it is any kind of murder, because first of all it is just cells and by aborting a fetus it just makes life easier for everyone.
Any kid should have a right to be loved and be raised with love and let's stop involving religion everywhere.. Or maybe look at it from another point of view. Religion says many things. It is also forbidden to rape women and girls yet still many get raped and abused. Isn't it just an option and solution given by God?
And how can you vote for women to welter to choose to keep their children or not. I think there's many things standing behind just a single decision. Stop looking at women and doctor like on murders. They are making the best decision.
Would you really like a world filled with children made of hatred, rape, mistakes, guilt and broken hearts?

It is really very debatable topic. First of all, there are a lot of reasons of abortion. I will not name each of them.However, I can't blame doctors because it is their profession to realize patient's wishes. So, it is up to parents.
