Abortion is a case of two sides and in this section of my coursework I am going to go through the reasons why women go for an abortion in the first place.
One of the most common reasons for abortion is that of teenage pregnancy. If a girl becomes accidentally pregnant as a result of her own carelessness, she would be in a great dilemma of whether to keep the baby and maybe give up her own education or to have abortion and to go against her moral beliefs. If the girl happened to be a catholic she would be more likely to keep the baby as abortion goes against the morals of the Christian Churches. However there is an alternative for a girl, she could go ahead and have the baby and then have it fostered. This would give her the chance to pursue her education and then take on the baby when she is in a more appropriate situation to do so. This would seem like a good idea but it would go against her maternal instincts as when she has the baby her natural reaction is that she would want to keep it because she feels she has that responsibility as a mother.
