The moral question of abortion My essay deals with the question of abortion, whether it is right or wrong for it to be practiced. Abortion is a very sensitive topic and there are many opinions for and against abortion, I choose to deal with the moral issue of abortion because I have no opinions for or against abortion. I wanted to know more and delve deeper into what abortion was and why women choose to abort their babies. In my opinion, abortion is the abortion of an unborn child. Abortion is carried out if for some reason development is not desired. There are different types of abortion. There is spontaneous abortion and induced abortion. Miscarriage or spontaneous abortion occurs when the fetus dies naturally inside the mother. Induced abortion occurs when the fetus is deliberately removed in one way or another. Abortion can be carried out if consent is given by two doctors and if the continuation of the pregnancy would entail risks to the physical and mental health of the mother or if the continuation would entail risks to the physical and mental health of all existing children in the family . Abortion is a controversial issue because there are so many arguments for and against whether abortion is right or wrong. The following are some of the main topics: -Religions: -Some people think that it is up to God and God alone to decide whether someone should die or not. God created us and it should be up to him to end our lives. Others argue that God does not exist and it is up to us to decide. Murder: -Some people think that abortion is murder and others say that the baby is just a potential life. Whoever decides... half of the paper... .school life and career still ahead of her. The emotional pressures related to abortion must be high knowing that you have just ended your baby's life. I think abortion should be allowed even in cases like those where the child is severely disabled. But what do we define as serious? This is the question to ask yourself. Where do we draw the line? The abortion dilemma is not one that can be overcome quickly. Every case is different; every woman has different needs, hopes and dreams. Who are we to judge one of the most difficult decisions of his life? And who are we to say whether it's right or wrong?
