Abortion should be legal

1. Even though it could possibly do so, the point is that you are still expecting a person to endure the 9 months and the pain of childbirth, which is immeasurably to no other. 2. Like I stated earlier, everything comes with risk. If a person chose to have sex at the age of 16, they are not permitted to purchase Plan B or anything, so if they didn't want to go through with abortion, they are limited, because of their options due to their age. And even if so, it's not like sex is an age thing or pregnancy is an age thing. No matter what age, some people may just not be ready or capable and that isn't something that can be up to someone else. I previously stated that condoms are 98% effective, but that is assuming that is everyone is perfect all the time, which is not common, so they're really only 85% effective. You also mention birth control, which is on its way of being less accessible for people, due to the backlash around Planned Parenthood. As far as a real-life experience goes, I know someone that was still impregnated, while she was on birth control and the guy was wearing a condom. 3. Of course, I am aware that you can't predict how someone's life will go, but that doesn't mean you can disregard the fact that for some people they are not as fortunate to lead lives as such. And to be fair, it may not be done exactly like that, but it is done. Animals are kept on farms and they are kept in unfair living condition and as soon as they give birth, the child is ripped away from them for them to provide us with some kind of food. 4. You're saying that you raise a kid to enjoy parenthood, but if a person is not ready and not stable enough to do it, they can not enjoy the parenthood, so yeah for some people it is about the costs. And even if you do enjoy the idea of parenthood, for a lot of people money is still an option. It is not a luxury to everyone to not have to worry about the costs of things. It's the idea of realism as opposed to optimism. And so what if they're adult by 18, you are still caring for the child up until 18, so that is valid. And not to mention that earlier figure does not include college, which parents are expected to provide for their children. 5. Again about the money issue which is not a luxury for a lot. the parent would have to work extreme hours to provide for their child because at the common hourly rate of today and the cost of things, most people need 2 jobs just to make it count and not account/feed other people. In this process, they have to either send their child to daycare or hire a nanny, which basically takes away a lot of the money they are attempting to bring in. 6. What if the mother is sick? While any treatment may not harm the baby, it could make it worse on the person expected to still give birth. Such as, if the mother is going through chemotherapy, which already leaves the person weak and to add childbirth on top of it, would be something that is way too stressful for someone. 7. You have yet to account for the chance if the person was raped. Are you truly expecting them to still go through the process, because of something that was out of their hands. Would that still be the recklessness of the parent, if so, I would like to know how? Since I have completed my argument I would like to respond to a few of the comments in here as well to further adjust my points. 1. A woman does know what a fetus goes through their death. Murder is worse than rape and abortion should be classified as murder The fetus does not feel anything. hence the reason why it is accepted for abortions. 2. "Who will take care of it, especially if raped by daddy at the age, oh say, 11?" The woman can set the kid up for adoption: How would you possibly expect an 11-year-old to go through that amount of pain? 3. "Naturally this big slug of love is not going to be there for ANY support, and will hopefully be behind bores." The rapist should pay 2 payments of a $1,000,000 fine, the rape victim gets 1 payment and the state gets the other as tax revenue. If they can't pay, then they are a temporary slave to the government. They then get castrated after they paid or they slaved off their debt: Even though it draws away from the exact topic of abortion, it still raises a valid point. Most victims do not come forward for the fear of them being attacked again or being denied in court, so the odd chances of someone actually being able to have it as you seem to have pictured is slim. Less than 35% of rapes are even reported to the police, which like I was stating that does not go into the actual trial. And are you also expected someone to raise a child that is as a result of rape? For some, that is very hard, because it will always remind them of that moment making it very hard to care for the child and not due to their lack of respect for their child, but for their mental stability. 4. "So who out there in this wide world of spurts will hap haphazardly take a lifelong investment with this youngun'?" An adoption center. I have already mentioned the lines of adoption, but I see that you have other arguments in support of it, so I won't address those until I get to those points that you have made. 5. Along with that, a lot of children are left unadopted." http://www.adopt.org...... states that over 94% of kids who get set up for adoption get adopted within 4 years. Not only that, but since adoption costs a lot of money, it means that only rich people who want to are adopting It is like you're using this article, but you are not fully aware of what it is stating. First off, this is only for the FY of 2012. It also says for those that exited in that year, so nowhere is it stating that 94% of kids get adopted. You are not aware of how many kids also entered that year or how many were already there in foster care. At the bottom, it also states that over 100,000 kids were still waiting for adoption, so how do you seem to figure that is an appropriate statistic? 6. "Bills aren't cheap and caring for a child on top of that could put some in financial debt or make it nearly impossible to care for a child, either leaving them neglected, or there being no food, no power, etc. " Then set the kid up for adoption. If you can't afford to take care of your family without the government, you don't deserve a family. You should set your kids up for adoption. But the point is that they do not want a family and you are forcing them to raise one, because of your own opinion on what someone else should do with their body. 7. "The mother would be expected to endure lots of pain during the nine months while being pregnant." It's her punishment for having consensual premarital sex. She should have said no, or gotten an IUD and a condom and she should have made sure that her boyfriend knew how to use a condom correctly. If she was raped, she get get restitution that the rapist pays for.: I have already covered rape previously in this argument, so I do not need to address that again. And you said it is their punishment for having consensual premarital sex, but you can have sex and still be married and also run the risk of getting pregnant.
