There's a continuing debate on the morality of abortion and whether it should be legal. There are those that are pro-choice and those that are pro-life. In Canada abortion is available to everyone, while in Nicaragua it's illegal. Whichever side, if any, wins wouldn't it be in some way unconstitutional? This debate has even led to violence.
I personally am pro-choice because I believe if the fetus hasn't developed to the point where it would be murder to get an abortion, then the parents should get to choose. Especially recently many teens are getting pregnant for whatever reason and aren't able to care for their babies. Isn't it better to prevent the babies' suffering than to have their mothers throw them in garbage cans, like previously done by many? I also understand abortion from a pro-life perspective, due to my religious beliefs. My strongest belief is pro-choice gives the person a chance to choose, so if a particular person is against abortion they can keep their baby either way, and if a person decides they're not ready for a child they can get an abortion.
Are you pro-choice or pro-life, or a little of both like me?
The reason why abortion is illegal in some countries is because of the dominant religion. I agree with you that women should have a choice. But it's when the fetus is up to a certain stage in it's development that it should not be aborted. Apart from the Haiti devastation, there's a lot of orphans throughout the globe. Condoms and birth controls have been created to prevent this problem and overpopulation. People just don't get it that the planet can only sustain a certain amount of humans.
