Brainstorm One: Free writing

Abortion is an issue that has been under discussion for a decade. It is the forceful termination of the fetus from a woman’s womb. It is argued if the life of a woman is in danger then abortion is justified. However, the act has been misused by individuals who are evading the responsibility of giving birth.

Abortion is both legal and illegal in different countries, but the Christian religion is against it. The church argues that God gives life, and he is the only one who can take it away. In the recent past, people have lost lives procuring an abortion. When abortion is conducted in a clinic, it limits the dangers of death at the same time preventing other complications that may occur in the process.

The issue of abortion should be left to the medics and not individual to decide. No matter how the kid looks like or the circumstances that led to the pregnancy we should give the unborn baby a chance to live. Life is a gift and no one has the autonomy of taking away life apart from the creator
