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.

Illegal murder hurts murderers

Outlawing murder does not necessarily reduce the number of murders, but rather forces murderers to jeopardize their lives and health in order to terminate an unwanted person.

Now, not all abortion is murder, but it should be looked at just as any other killing. Afterall, if a drunk driver gets hurt in a car crash, does that mean we should make drunk driving legal?

Abortion

I think there should not be abortion because it can lead to people to commitng suicide. What do you think about what i just said. But if you have any info about abortion please let me know because I'm doing a persuasion essay on it and i need facts from people who are against abortion but sorry to the ones that are for abortion.

(Give me your opinions)
