What is abortion? For those of you who don't know, abortion means killing a fetus in the womb before the fetus has the opportunity to develop. Scientists may argue that a fetus does not become a person until it is born, but I disagree. I believe that the fetus is a human being as soon as it is conceived, and aborting that child should be considered murder. People have many reasons for wanting to abort their children. Some say they can't afford another child; others say they don't want the baby because they hate the person who got them pregnant. Often women who are raped and become pregnant will want to abort their baby. In this case the mother has options that do not include abortion. One option is to give up the baby for abortion instead of aborting it. There are hundreds of couples around the world who cannot conceive a child and would be willing to do so. Instead of killing the child, they can give him a second chance, giving him to a couple who will love him and give him a good home. Therefore, I believe that abortion is not the way a mother should approach the issue. “One psychologist said that about 10% of the 1.6 million women who have abortions experience severe emotional trauma” (Cung). “About 61% of abortions are obtained by women who have one or more children. The number in the United States decreased by 4% between 2008 (1,793) and 2011 (1,720). The number of clinics providing abortion services decreased 1%, from 851 to 839. Eighty-nine percent of all counties in the United States do not have a 2011, 38% of women live in those counties” (Cung).

I know this is a horrible world, but they don't give their children the chance to live their lives. You don't have enough money you can give your child up for adoption, there are people who can't have it children and want to adopt them. Not all people in the world are violent and your child may be in a loving family. If you believe in God, the Bible says that "abortion is a sin." communion after having an abortion. In any religion, people are punished for what they have done and spend a lot of time asking for forgiveness. Finally, abortion causes psychological trauma they kill out of remorse. So please think about what you are doing before you do it. It can cause a lot of pain and suffering for you and the people who love and care for your child.
