DEBATE & CONTROVERSY
People view abortions in several ways one being pro-life. This means you are against abortion and are having the baby. On the other hand there’s the pro-choice option which means you are deciding to have an abortion. Some people have the religious point of view meaning they can’t have an abortion because then they will be going against their religion.
A historical debate that surrounds abortion is the Roe v. Wade debate. This debate legalized abortion in the United States in 1973. This debate caused dozens of states to change their mind about making abortion illegal because a lot of women were dying from pregnancies. What states did was say the women can only abort if her life is at risk. (PBS, "The Debate on Abortion, Four Decades After Roe v. Wade")
Different interpretations do exists regarding abortion. Some people might say it is wrong to do because then the women would be going against her religion. Others might say its up to the women what she wants to do with the baby because she the mother. People always disagree on rather it is okay to abort under certain circumstances. Because others feel that regardless of how you got pregnant a baby is a blessing. And you shouldn't take the baby’s life away without it being born.
Reasons people feel its not okay to abort are because sometimes cultural/ religious beliefs make an impact on the decision because if you chose to abort then you’ll be going against your family and their beliefs. Some people feel it’s okay to abort if you've been raped and cant have the baby.
