Introduction

Have you ever thought about killing anyone? Taking someone's life? The life of someone so small they would not even have a say in such a decision. Someone so small they are considered unimportant(Cozic, 2012). Abortion means ending a pregnancy so that it does not result in the birth of a child but no matter how you say it, abortion is taking a life.

A lot of people consider abortion as the only way to get rid of their “problem”. Is abortion acceptable in certain cases such as rape? Yes and no.

After the abortion process the physical effects can range from having defects while trying to have another baby and might not be able to and you would also have a higher risk at having breast cancer. There are emotional effects such as depression which plays a main role by the guilt and regret of the abortion, flashbacks of abortion, and alcohol and drug abuse. We also become unaware that abortions can eventually lead to the euthanasia of terminally ill people, the elderly, the mentally handicapped and finally, and most importantly, the unwanted. Society should be responsible for protecting all life, not destroying it (Watkins, 2012).

Abortion is a social problem. The important ways of looking at the issue of abortion are most easily categorized into five major points, legal precedence, birth control issues, human rights, religion and when life begins.
