Should abortions

be illegal?

         

        Abortion is the most common and efficient way of getting out of an unwanted pregnancy but is one of the most controversial topics argued today.  The fact of killing a foetus after it has begun to form in to a baby has never gone down well with people.

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.
