92% of abortions are due to unwanted pregnancies. A Teenage pregnancy is a big issue today and the rates have ever been higher. It has gone up 240% in the last decade and common all across England. 52% of teenage pregnancies decide to carry on with the pregnancy and give birth to the child. Not only does this disrupts the mother’s life and education it pulls a toll on the child too. As the issue of early pregnancy becomes more common so would the awareness, and sooner or later the child would ask questions and be a term with also could be another reason for physiological damage. Teenagers who tend to get pregnant are stereotypes as being low-class, benefit thieving council flat residents (not the ideal environment for a new born child is it?). They usually don’t have, would provide, the appropriate environment for a new born baby that needs extra special care. Money is a big problem here as well; in the UK abortions are FREE to who ever wants them so that’s no price to pay to what giving birth to a baby would. Looking after a baby needs a lot a lot of money and some people just don’t have it, and at teenage there is know way you could cope either. Time is money; teenagers who become mothers have grim prospects for their future. There are more likely to leave school; receive inadequate parental care; rely on the public to raise the child; develop help problems themselves; or end up divorced. Would you want anyone would want anyone to go through all that? At the end of it the child would not have had the attention it deserves as a child because of the mother/parents having there own problems. As Teenager would live with there guardians, who in some cases may be religious and strict and have certain issues about sex and becoming pregnant is obviously a direct hit from that. An abortion is an effective way of getting out of situations like this that could not only be dangerous for the mother and the child. Cases like this are very common still and if your one of the people who are with the “killing the baby” excuse, would you rather loose one life or both? Some cases in unwanted pregnancies, it not at all about the child itself it may be about how it can to be conceives. One night stands pregnancies. What’s not having a child when you don’t know where, or who the other half is? Fathers as not nearly as important as mothers but they do cause some effect of a child. Rape. A child could be the living presence of their ordeal. Rape is a horrific thing to go through and to be constantly reminded of how they were conceived would take some grinding out of women. Briton helps in both cases, getting rid of the baby weeks after being raped could get rid of all physical signs possible, it could with help psychologically getting rid of he ordeal altogether; also without another half helping you look after what’s both yours, you would be given a second chance to make things right next time.
The other 8% of abortion are to do with health issues either of the baby or the mother. Sometimes complication happen in the womb, such as the baby is with out limbs or organs or even cashed a genetic disease. Anyhow all these would be horrible to live with, or watch a child suffer everyday of their lives. Some cases it might be the mother who is ill and may not be able to survive after the birth. Some women have a case of aneurism where they have a low supply of blood and a lot is lost giving birth killing them shortly after. Would the suffering compare to giving up the child or to what the child had to go through everyday for as long as they live? As for the selfish side and by choosing whose life’s more valuable, think about how the child would feel without its mother, it would live in regret knowing that they were the cause of her death, he may balm themselves for this and become mentally and emotionally sensitive whenever mothers are mentioned anywhere.
Adoption. Quarter a million British waiting to adopt a child, there is no such thing as an unwanted child. The mother doesn’t have to go and “murder” her child, she could give birth to It and under what circumstances could give it up for adoption after a suitable family had been found. I doesn’t matter what the situation is at home the baby could grow up with ideal and better family and parents who could love it more than the original parents could. But. Think about when and how the child would finds outs who he really is and suddenly feels deceived by their supposedly parents. 99% of adopted children do think about there real biological parents and wonder why they gave them up. It may even come to a point were they go looking for them and find out things they didn’t want to know. All this adds to the psychological pain already on the child. Then there a chance just after the mother giving birth she decides to keep it, after a few hours bonding. Adoption is not the alternative to abortion, because it remains the women’s choice weather or not to give her child up for adoption. Statistics show that few mothers choose adoption as an alternative and even very few actually do it; 3% actually sign up for adoption before birth and 2% actually do it.
Many religious beliefs strictly state that abortion is a sin. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, buddies and even Hinduism all say that abortion is highly forhhibited and in any case is not allowed and is a sin, and usually when you sin you get punished. To those people who do follow religion what does it saw about environment the child lives in, would they live in a broken home, in poverty with no money or not stable family that gets in trouble with law or cases of domestic violence. Religion says lots of stuff but I does not state how to overcome all these issues and problems that come after a child is born unnecessarily into a home. You may learn to love the child, as many religion says u must do but what if you can not, what if like in situations like pregnancy after rape even after forgetting about the violent act, It is just mentally impossible.
For a starters we don’t really know who the person is
After all it really comes down the child and mother, if there not possibly happy then no one is. Studies do show that like any other difficult situations, abortion creates stress. Yet British psychological association found that stress was greatest prior to an abortion, and that there is no evidence of post-abortion syndrome. So after the abortion you would eventually get-over it and move on. No abortions should not be illegal. I agree with abortions but disagree completely to it being used as a type of contraception. The ability of a woman to have control of her body is critical to civil right, take away her reproductive choice and there’s nothing worth living for. Everyone deserves a second chance to get thing better second times round.
