By Leijia H . It's one of the biggest political issues of the decade.
Abortion is, in a nutshell, taking a baby out of a woman before it is ready to be born.
The main reasons that a woman has an abortion are that she didn't want to be pregnant in the first place, that she wouldn't be able to care for the baby OR bear to give it up for adoption, or that the baby would have some sort of birth defect. Some people, however, think of abortion as murder. I think that having an abortion is by no means a great thing to do. The thing is, women need to have the right to make the choice, for whatever their own reasons may be. There are situations when it truly is the best or only option.
