Abortion
Abortion has been one of this country's
most controversial topic on hand. But if one sees the constitutional infringement
to women by the restriction of abortion, the torment to the unwanted child
and the anguish society has to sustain,then this topic would not be so
debatable. Too many people do not see the cause and effect of not being
able to have abortions.
All human beings are given some inalienable
right guaranteed by the Constitution. One of those privilege is the right
to pursue happiness. A baby can sometimes disrupt a woman's pursuit of
happiness. Even if she decides to give it up for adoption, she still has
the burden of carrying the fetus for nine months. Having the option to
perform an abortion can solve that obstacle. Taking away this right would
be invading on a woman's constitutional liberty.
The unwanted child also suffers. Most of
the time the mother of the unwanted child is very young and inexperienced
or too poor to take care of the child. The child is usually malnourished,
has no medical care, and gets very little attention or love. The foster
care system isn't any better. Only a small percentage of the children are
adopted by suitable parents. But the rest remain in the foster care system,
where there is little or no personal care. In both cases, the child has
a poor education because of the lack of attention and discipline. He grows
up to be unproductive individual or a menace to society. Many get involved
in drugs and crimes. These individuals are also very violent, lacking morality
due small amount of care they received themselves. In the long run, not
only does the child suffer but also society, who has to tolerate his violent
behavior and crimes.
An abortion can be seen as putting the
child out of misery while he doesn't have the ability to reason or fear.
In short, abortion allows a woman to retain
her constitutional rights, it relieves a would be suffering child out of
his distress and it establishes a safer and more peaceful society. On these
grounds, abortion should be kept legal, and even encouraged to specific
individuals, for benefits to all of us.
