2nd assignment: Views on Abortion

I think that abortion should be legal. It should be legal because if the couple doesn't want the baby and they couldn't abort the child will have an unhappy life. Also because by trying to lose the baby without aborting not only will the mothers hurt themselves they will also hurt the unborn child. Another thing is that the mother could have been raped or forced to have sex which caused the pregnancy. "Banning abortion puts women at risk by forcing them to use illegal abortionists." I agree with this statement because if abortion is banned women will use more deadly ways to abort and it could end in their death. "This argument reminds us that even in the abortion debate we should regard the woman as a person and not just as a container for the foetus." This quote states that we have to remember that not only is the mother the provider and home of the baby she is a human being that has the right to abort.
