Right now, thousands of children around the world are in a ‘live or die’ situation, in which their mother decides, without even knowing them, whether to keep or to terminate them. Because this topic of abortion covers a wide range of aspects, this essay will present two groups. The Pro-Choice group who argue that a woman has the right to abortion, because it’s her body, she can do whatever she likes; the Pro-Life group argue that Abortion is not safe for both the mother and the child, and while the mother has rights, so too does the baby.
Abortion can be traced back to ancient times where pregnancies were terminated in a number of ways, including the use of abortifacient herbs, the use of sharpened implements, and other proficiencies. Abortion has subsided in almost every society. This site gives a brief history of abortion.
Even though the United States (US) government stopped funding for women with low-income in receiving health insurances and services, it had no effect on the number of abortions in the years following.
The US Supreme Court then introduced the ‘right-to-privacy’ law on abortion, discussing that a woman has rights to an abortion depending on her current pregnancy trimester. Abortion was now legal. But what the court failed to cover is when human life begins, the rights that a woman has over her body, and how far governments can intervene in private lives of women. This caused the American nation to divide into groups known as Pro-Choice and Pro-Life, which groups have spread worldwide for people to sound their beliefs on abortion.

ReplyDeletei like how you integrated the history of Abortion into your introduction. The amount of background knowledge you supplied is relevant and informing, and doesnt stray from your topic sentence or idea. nice work.
