Abortion is the term for the procedure which interrupts the pregnancy.

It is a very
common procedure around the world; however Im going to talk about Mxico in
particularly.

The only place in Mxico where this procedure is completely legal, is in Mexico
City, it was legalized on 24th April, 2007. And since then, there has been a total of
154, 071. The highest incidence, with reference to age, is for women from 18 to 24
years old, probably because at this age more women are in sexual relationships
and since they are young they are not prepared to the responsibility of having a
child. Also an alarming number is for the women under 18 years old who had had
an abortion which are 9, 605. According to the information group in chosen
reproduction or GIRE by its initials in Spanish, 50% of the women who had an
abortion are married or living common law, 7 or each 10 has one or more children,
of each 10 women, 3 are students, 5 are housewives and 2 are employees.

There are only 40 doctors who are legally authorized to do this procedure.

There are a lot of arguments for and against abortion, practically it is a debate with
no ending because there is billions of people in this planet and everyone thinks
differently, they are for or against abortion based on their experience and
perspective of it.

Abortion Cons: In this side we are going to see the main arguments used by
people who are disagree with abortion

*By all accounts, abortion appears like an awful crime. After all, abortion implies
denying someone a well-deserved life. Just because the odds are not in our favor,
can we deprive someone the chance to live?

*By terminating a life, can we justify our acts? A baby is often considered as a
Gods gift, and its believed that every living being has a purpose behind his/her
birth. By tampering with a life, arent we acting against the creator of the world?
*Having an abortion done always carries the risk of not being able to become
pregnant ever again in life.

*Abortion can also lead to serious health complications, and in some cases the
worst case scenario can be death.

*It often leads to unwanted memories, which can result into great stress and
depression. Some women experience a feeling of guilt, which lasts for their whole
lifetime. In short, abortion can turn out to be a lifetime worth of burden.

Abortion Pros: Also there are the arguments used by people who are for abortion,
these are the arguments that people use to justify an abortion.

*Sometimes life can be really harsh on us. There are times when abortion may
appear as the only option for the betterment. Although a mother may have a hard
time opting for this option, she may eventually consider this soul-killing decision,
keeping in mind all the pros and cons of this decision.

*At the end of the day, a mother has to go through the actual labor pain and other
issues involved with parenting and juggling responsibilities. Others cant precisely
gauge or understand the level of trauma that a woman may be experiencing in her
personal life. She is the only person who knows best, if she would be able to take
care of the unplanned child or not. We all know that its merely impossible to raise
a child without family support and finance in hand. To a great extent, the life of the
baby depends upon the mothers health.

*In some cases, medical emergencies compel a woman to resort to this action.
There is a possibility that her own life might be at risk, if she delivers the child.

*Some of the rape victims can be minors. They wouldnt be mentally or physically
prepared to take care of the newborn baby. Why should such victims go through
the ordeal of bearing a child, which is a product of some unfortunate incident of
their life?
*Technologies have enabled disease detection amongst unborn babies. Giving life
to an unhealthy baby and watching it suffer all day and night can be highly
jeopardizing for the family as well as the newborn child.

*Can a woman be forced to produce a life? Giving life to an unwanted child might
invite world of troubles for both mother and the child. So, are we being fair to the
child?

In my personal opinion, I am for abortion but just under the right circumstances, for
example women who got raped or when having the baby would put at risk the life
of the mother. Nowadays we have all the tools to prevent getting pregnant of
unwanted children so, I think if we have more cultural build up around sexual life
we can prevent a lot of abortions; having a child should be something beautiful,
you just have to ask yourself Am I ready to take this responsibility?
