Abortion Should Be Legalized

Thank you, one elephant, for putting forward this debate. I accept and hope that we can set the stage ablaze with this one. To begin with, I am an ardent believer of the policy that abortion should be abolished. Abortion refers to the brutal murder, yes my friends, nothing less than horrendous and shocking murder of a child, yet to be born, the most precious and innocent life form on this planet. When a mother to be decides to undergo the tedious procedure of abortion, she automatically signs a child's death warrant. In other words, she is committing the murder of an innocent living being, a being so pure that it would have clung onto its mother had it been given the opportunity to set foot on this planet. However, it is often deprived of that opportunity due to this senseless act. During abortion, it is imperative to realize that one is murdering a human being, too weak to protest, too small to react and way too defenseless to protect itself. It is indeed sad that under such circumstances, a life is brought to an abrupt end even before it has begun. I want you all to contemplate the possibility of your own life being ended before you actually have had an opportunity to live it. All of us wish to have murderers punished. Isn't it then fair enough to crusade against abortion, a practice which is nothing short of shocking. Legalizing abortion would be equivalent to legalizing murder. That, my friends, was my introduction. Now, I shall induce my arguments into the debate. 1) Abortion can result in medical complications Not only is abortion disgusting, apparently, it also proves to be dangerous. Abortion may result in a great number of medical complications. They are: a) perforated uterus A perforated uterus is a very serious complication. If a woman sustains a perforation in her uterus, she could bleed to death within ten minutes of the initial injury. Injury to the bladder and bowel may also result from medical complications of abortions. b) breast cancer Some studies also indicate an increase in the chances of developing breast cancer later on in life. c) Psychological issues Though a great number of people may deny it, abortions lead to several complications including psychological issues which might have a gargantuan impact on women's mind and dent it forever.

Many have lifelong regrets afterwards. Therefore, it is imperative to curb abortion and to encourage people to adopt contraceptive measures. 3) In the case of rape, it is the perpetrator who requires to be brought to the scaffold. A woman who has become pregnant as a result of this shameful act should not punish her child for something. The very thought that abortion is necessary under such circumstances is ridiculous and should be laughed of I think that the above points quite clearly illustrate the negatives of abortion and give the audience ample reason to condemn it. Just remember this, when you practice abortion, you are committing nothing short of murder. With that thought, I hand the podium to my worthy opponent.
