Abortion should be illegal.

Thank you for your reply. Attacking your case: 1- "Making abortions illegal doesn't mean they will stop" Laws are made and sometimes they are broken, that doesn't neccesarily mean that they shouldn't be made JUST because people will not completely stop doing those certain things; it does reduce the amount of it happening though which is the overall wanting of a law. Drugs are still illegal and people find a way to get them illegaly, that doesn't mean we should allow them to just because some still find a way to get them. Which comes back to my original statement, we shouldn't mantain abortion legal just because it means some people will keep trying to have abortions. And about the "reasonable medical standards" you are making a Hasty Generalization that all women die when they do unsafe back alley abortions. Really, when in fact the risk of abortion complications is minimal: Fewer than 0.3% of abortion patients experience a complication that requires hospitalization [1] which means, that you are making it seem that most women that try to get an abortion die or have a complication when in fact FEWER than 0.3% do so which is a really small percentage that shouldn't be considered a problem when the overall number of fetuses dying overlap the number of women dying because of it by 99.7%. 2- "Alternatives" You JUST proved that promoting safe sex using proper sex education does nothing to help the ratio of girls getting pregnat, it would cost the government another $1.5 billion dollars; and as you said it didn't make a difference then, how would it make a difference now, if we are doing nothing differently? It is an irrational alternative, and it leads nowhere as your proved facts showed. 3- "Motives for abortion" I understand that women have there certain motives for wanting to have an abortion but that doesn't mean they have to keep it. Adoption like i mentioned in one of my arguements is one of the solutions and if they were responsible enough to have sex they should be responsible enough to either take care of the child or put it up for adoption. Even if the child ends up being a criminal, doctor, or teacher; it should have the right to live just like all of us do. Once it is aborted, it is not given a chance to live it's life to its potential. And again you are making a hasty generalization that ALL kids that would of been aborted are going to be "unwanted children" when easily they could be with an adoptive family, its own family, or a foster home where it would be taken care of. 4- "Exceptional cases" As i used before, Fewer than 0.3% of abortion patients experience a complication that requires hospitalization [1], and these cases are VERY rare and unfortunate and you can't do anything about it like you said "the mother and fetus would die long before the fetus could survive on its own"; which means the mother would die too, so this arguement is irrational because both would die either way and this doesn't mean abortion should be illegal; its just adding fallacy. Response to response of own arguements: 1- The body also can attack its own cells, that doesn't neccesarily mean were going to let it do that just because it is reacting that way. And a miscarriage is different from an abortion, a miscarriage is because the body knows the fetus couldn't survive; abortion is like you said ending a life of a POTENTIAL person. That person could be anything and anyone unlike the miscarriage which occur because the fetus isn't developing normally. [2] which means it would die. Abortion is forcing a life to die for personal reasons a miscarriage is doing it because it knows it wouldn't be able to survive. 2- Wheter they get adopted or not they still have a CHANCE to live, like they had if the parents would have been prepared to have a child. So what if there life isn't perfect? Every human experiances struggles in there lifes, some more than others. People in general learn from there lives and learn to move on. But that child should have the right to live. We could potentially have the future president of The United States or a criminal, either way they should be part of our society because they are potential people. How they wish to take upon there lifes would be there choice, and then as a human being they would take the consquences and rewards which comes upon those choices.
