Abortion and Euthanasia Coursework
Ben Johns
The National Abortion Campaign believes that a woman has the right to chose whether a woman has an abortion or not. Women may feel that they need an abortion for many reasons. These reasons could be any of the following:
o Lack of money - a child costs an average of £10,000 per year this is a serious drain on a family's income.
o Handicap or disability - the mother and father may feel that they cannot persevere with a handicapped child because it may need more attention than an average child. They may also feel that the child will have a poor quality of life.
o Interference with parents' lifestyle - The parents of the child may have to quit their jobs or give up something which they enjoy in order to care for their child. Some parents may not want this responsibility. They may feel that they will not have enough time for leisure activities and/or work.
o Lack of maturity - If the parents are young they may not have a stable income and homelife this may reduce the child's standard of living. They may still be at school and living at home in which case their own parents would end up looking after the baby while they finish school. Young couples may wish to go out and have leisure time, having a child will reduce this drastically. If you're still a teenager you may not have the skills and patience required to bring up a child.
