    This essay discusses the controversial issue of abortion from both perspectives. It acknowledges that there are good arguments on both sides and no clear consensus. The essay examines some of the complex reasons why women choose to have abortions, noting that contraception is not always effective and accidents can happen. It presents the author's thesis that abortion should be legalized, with arguments that personhood begins at birth rather than fertilization, fetuses cannot feel pain during abortions, and claims of links between abortion and breast cancer are unsubstantiated. However, it also acknowledges the counterarguments that abortion involves killing a human being and that fetuses may feel pain during the procedure.

    Argumentative Essay About Abortion

    Our world today is full of unsolved and controversial issues. Most of them relate to our
    morals, ethics and religion, thus creating a very strong yes and no, or good and bad side. Abortion has
    a very outstanding black and white side but also contains traces of each in the alternating colour. This
    shows that if you were to come to any kind of conclusion on abortion, there would still be a downside
    to it, and that is primarily why the world cannot agree on this sensitive and emotional issue. An
    abortion is when the pregnancy is ended so that it does not result in the birth of a child. It allows
    women to put an end to their pregnancies, but involves killing the undeveloped embryo or fetus. For
    this reason, it is a very controversial subject. Being pregnant and wishing you weren't is probably the
    worst feeling a woman can have.

    Knowing that if you brought a child into the world and you didn't want it, or you would have
    to give it up for adoption is such a disheartening way to start off, and you and the un-born child would
    be so much better off if you were to terminate the pregnancy and wait for a more appropriate time, or
    in the case of rape, put the past behind you and move on. When we hear of women having abortions,
    we seem to automatically think that she wasn't careful enough, or she didn't use contraception. We
    forget to stop and think about the other possible reasons, she may have accidentally become pregnant.
    Just forgetting to take one pill per packet can reduce it’s effectiveness.

    Condoms can tear or be forgotten, and emergency contraceptives like the morning after pill
    are not easily obtainable. 50% of women getting an abortion in Britain used some form of
    contraception when they got pregnant. This obviously shows that women are having huge problems
    with using contraception, and something needs to be done about it. This also means that we can't
    judge people immediately. Women are still getting pregnant even though they use contraceptives. I
    think that women have the right to get an abortion if they tried to prevent the pregnancy.

    My thesis is: Abortion should be legalized. Arguments:


    1. Personhood begins at birth, not at fertilization,.
    2. Fetuses are incapable of feeling pain when an abortion is performed.
    3. An association between abortion and breast cancer is unsubstantiated.

    Counter arguments:
    1. Abortion involves killing a human being
    2. Fetuses feel pain during the abortion procedure
