Should Abortion be Legal?

Should Abortion be Legal?

The landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade was supposed to settle the question of abortion’s legality once and for all, but the Court’s ruling has instead become a fulcrum of debate. Placed squarely at the intersection of civil rights, health, religion and law, abortion is one of America’s most heated controversies.

Abortion Hurts Women

Alliance Defense Fund

Abortion may be legal, but it is not safe.? Abortion advocates regularly sue to stop laws that simply make abortion centers abide by the same health standards as real medical clinics.? As a result, abortions are largely unregulated and unsupervised.? Abortionists are typically the least-talented, most-predatory practitioners in the medical field.? Most real doctors don’t want to be involved in this dirty business.? So, to increase the dwindling supply of death practitioners, pro-abortion groups agitate for laws that force health professionals to participate in and perform abortions.? A popular myth, unsupported by evidence, is that tens of thousands of back alley abortions occurred annually before Roe v. Wade.? True, dangerous abortions did occur, but Roe did not stop them, it just allowed the same abortionists to hang their signs in the front window.? Women still die from abortion.? They suffer infections, punctures, bleeding, permanent infertility, and sexual abuse by abortionists.? Abortion advocates contend that childbirth, a natural and healthy process, is more dangerous than abortion.? The truth is, abortion injuries are underreported, and complications like ectopic pregnancy are often caused by previous abortions.? Abortion wreaks emotional havoc on women.? The bond between mother and child was never meant to be severed by violence.? Women who have abortions suffer increased rates of depression, substance abuse, suicide, and numerous other pathologies.? Women most often have abortions not because they are exercising “choice,” but because they feel they have no choice.? Many are pressured into abortion by boyfriends, parents, and sexual abusers who want to hide the evidence.? And more than half of all the babies killed in abortion are girls.? They are denied equal rights.? Nearly every early feminist recognized that abortion is an insulting, degrading experience.? Women deserve better.
