Should Abortion Be Legal? The topic of abortion has been extremely controversial for years. This raised the question of whether this should be legal or illegal and whether it is right or wrong? But the idea of ​​abortion cannot be simply broken down into yes or no, good or bad, etc., just as life itself cannot be broken down into that. Each individual will have their own opinion on the matter, as their life, culture and religion have shaped their view. Although the abortion debate has created divisions among members of society, it distinguishes two main groups: pro-life and pro-choice. In this article, I will take an in-depth look at both groups and their strong positions on abortion. Before delving further into the topic of abortion, you must first understand what exactly abortion is and how it is defined. An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. (1) It is usually a surgical procedure that involves removing the embryo or fetus and the placenta from the uterus. (1) This procedure is performed by a licensed healthcare professional. (1) While abortion is defined as the termination of pregnancy, if the pregnancy ends on its own, it is called miscarriage. (4) Now that we know more about what abortion is, why is there such a big debate in today's society? Unfortunately, abortions have become increasingly popular among women in today's society. Women tend to choose the option of abortion when they have an unwanted pregnancy, whether by accident or the family simply doesn't want another baby. There are many other reasons why women choose abortion, including: rape, age, amount of income, and health. Aside from that, abortion is currently legal in the United States, although different states have different regulations. Abortion has been middle of paper ......y of reasons, from life experiences, with what they grew up with, religion, culture and tradition. One of these reasons has figured prominently in the abortion debate and is what many pro-life activists base their argument on. From a religious point of view, in the Catholic religion it is believed that human life begins from the moment of conception. This means that for Catholics, abortion would mean killing a human life, which is an error. As in the Bible, Exodus 20:13 in the Old Testament states, “Thou shalt not kill.” (5) It is the sixth commandment out of ten of the Catholic religion. Again, this suggests that abortions are wrong and go against God's teachings in the Bible. For those who are Catholic and believe this way, they believe that abortion is wrong and that it is a sin against God. This is the view of abortion from a Catholic perspective.
