 Why Abortion Should not be Legalized?

Abortion is when a pregnancy is ended by removing embryo or fetus before it can

survive outside the uterus, it is also called as ‘termination of pregnancy’. Abortion is usually
performed in the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Meanwhile, according to new research by
WHO (World Health Organization), around 56 million abortions were made worldwide each
year between 2010-2014 and 25 million or about 45% of them were unsafe abortions.
Recently, the topic of abortion became a trending topic because Alabama, a state in the
United States, is not allowing abortion. The new law makes some public figures such as
Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, and Grace VanderWaal make a speech disagreeing to the new
rule. Even though there are various reasons why abortion should not be legalized such as
causing more free sex and HIV/AIDS.

Many people around the world argue that raising a child is not an easy task. To raise a
child, a good economic situation is needed for a prospective mother and the family. The
family needs to have the financial stability to support the shopping needs like to buy milk,
layette, and something for the future of their baby. Moreover, the emotional commitment to
have a kid is also important to take care of the baby. If people do not want to have a baby, it
means the pregnancy is unwanted, they will also raise the child in a bad environment. The
child will grow up in a non-conducive situation since the parents do not love their child.
However, the government should give education to the people that raising a child is a
responsibility for each parent. There are also many parents who cannot have a kid but they
want to have it. It means putting the child up for adoption is a better way than doing the
abortion.

Abortion is about allowing women to make choices whether they want to keep their
pregnancy or not. They know what time they want to have children in a relationship. Other
than that, growing up children in unstable financial is not good, so they need to abort their
womb. Thus, the government should not interfere with their own right. Nevertheless, every
person should be responsible for what they have done. If they do not want to have a kid, it is
better to prevent it before the pregnancy occurs. Although many women do not become
pregnant by their choice, it means they were doing free sex before. While indeed the
pregnancy is unintentional, it is still their responsibility and ending the fetus is not the best
choice.
 In the first 28 weeks, fetuses are incapable of feeling pain. They are just like a brain
dead person with no self-awareness and they cannot make a choice. Scientific research
proved that even though fetuses start to develop a face, legs, arms, etc by the tenth week, but
they do not have a consciousness. Consequently, having an abortion is not murder since the
fetus is not legally a human being. The Pro-Life activists claim that abortion is an absolute
crime since fetuses are the beginning of human life. Life begins at conception and the fetuses
are the source of newborn which is the concept of life. Abortion is tantamount to destroying a
life when fetal growth process is stopped intentionally.

Of the various reasons why abortion has to be legalized, still, abortion permits bring
negative effects. The first is by allowing abortion will make people think that having free sex
is OK. There is like no obstacle to have free sex which will the increasing rape. So, instead of
the number of rape that will go down, it will actually increase and so with the rate of
pregnancy without marriage. In addition, pregnancy without marriage is not desirable and
having an impact on the increasingly widespread illegal abortion. Thus, one problem is
connected with others, and as soon as possible affect the first problem itself.

Due to the increase of free sex, the possibility of HIV/AIDS infection also becomes
higher. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks cells of the human body
that help the body to fight infection, making people become easily infected with other viruses
and diseases. While AIDS is the late stage of HIV when the body’s immune system is badly
damaged. The virus is spread by direct contact with the sufferer, such as having unprotected
sex. In fact, HIV cannot be cured and more and more people suffer from it. With the
legalization of abortion which has an impact on the rising of free sex, it is feared that this
dangerous virus infection will become worse.

From the sundry negative impacts, it can be concluded that abortion is a bad thing.
That is why abortion should not be legalized since it is causing more free sex but it may be
considered for rape victims. The government may have a program to educate the victims
because they are not ready both mentally and physically to have children. They are depressed
because the crimes that they got, so abortion can be considered as the last choice for them as
long as the womb is under 28 weeks old. Furthermore, it is necessary to have an adoption
program as the first choice for them. Then, the ministry should give a big punishment for the
rapist to make sure that they will never do rape again. Therefore, people will think twice to
do free sex.
