Having a child is one of the most beautiful God gift in this world. Many couples want to have a child after they get married, they often do some efforts that believed could increase the possibility to have child. However, there are some couples or mothers who want to “terminate” her pregnancy. The reasons may vary, from being the victim of rape, extramarital sexual, until they already have many children. For me, even though they have strong reason to have an abortion, I do not think that they can be excused to kill their own child. I believe that abortion should not be legalized.
Abortion is immoral. An unborn child is still human after all and every human have the right to life. Abortion is a crime against life. No one has the right to kill another human, even the unborn one. It has to be illegal just like murder does. Furthermore, Abortion is also a threat to the mother's health. A woman can suffer an infection or internal bleeding. She could also become sterilized, the permanent inability to bear a child. Abortion not only kills the baby but may kill the mother too. During an abortion, despite the use of local anesthesia, most of the women who have an abortion report severe pain, and if a more powerful drug is used she could suffer dangerous side effects. Many complications are common after an abortion, like inflammation of the reproductive organs.
None of the methods women use to abort are completely safe, both legal and illegal abortion. If there is a person says that legal abortion is safe, it is completely wrong. In fact, legal abortion is not safe abortion; legal abortion is just as unsafe as illegal abortion. Both of legal and illegal abortion has the same risk to affect the mother’s health, such as infection and hemorrhage. Moreover, the baby's mother not only has to deal with physical consequences, but also psychological problems that could last for a lifetime. Women that abort usually suffer severe traumas after it, especially if the abortion is not completely success.
For me, the conclusion is obvious; abortion should be illegal for all case as it is violating someone’s right to life, and the risk of abortion is cannot be avoided even though the mother have a legal abortion, because both illegal and legal abortion do not have a completely safe methods.
