I do not agree with abortion in any way, but I think it should remain legal. One large argument in the legalisation of abortion in the first place was because many women were having abortions illegally, these "backdoor" abortions were highly unsafe and caused some women to contract STI's and some women to become permanently infertile. I think if abortion was to be made illegal, there would be a rise in the amount of backdoor abortions taking place. I don’t want to judge people who have abortions, my friend recently had one (she's only 16 ) but she’s still a friend and i don’t mention it. I think abortion is one of those topics which isn’t black or white, good or bad, there are many shades between and there are many different circumstances, which may, to some people, be a situation which abortion can be deemed necessary. Many women who have abortions go on to regret it later in life and of course there are many accounts of women with mental problems caused by abortion.

Abortion is not my main annoyance or grievance, the problems lie with those who try to endorse abortion and advise it as a solution to unwanted pregnancy. The arguments these pro-choice organisations spit out are completely unethical and completely devoid of sympathy and feeling. They argue that the foetus is not alive and does not have feeling.

I don’t think all blame should lie with those women who do get pregnant; blame partly lies with these organisations. My sister got pregnant recently and my mum desperately tried to force her to have an abortion, this actually sickened me and i was shocked at the lack of feeling. Those who argue that abortion is better in the long run are seriously uneducated of the effects an abortion can have on the women in question and those around them.
