Many people in America believe in abortion. Abortion is the removal of the embryo or fetus to end pregnancy. Abortion was legalized in the 1970’s but today, there are some states that do not allow abortion. Abortion is not the right decision for women who are pregnant. Therefore, abortion should be illegal.

Many people who want to get an abortion do not want the baby are people who are not ready for the baby or it was a “mistake”. These people are taking an incident baby’s life and ending it for immature and selfless reasons. Instead, people should have to deal with having the baby. This may show them responsibility for taking care of another human being’s life. Also, if the person was not planning on having the baby, having the baby would remind them that they should be more careful.

Also, if abortion was illegal, this would be healthier for women. Getting an abortion may possibly lead to future health problems. If abortion was illegal, we could prevent these health problems for women. Women with health problems such as diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, or other kind of health problem could have a life-threatening consequence to face if they get an abortion. Women with these health problems could save their lives and also, their babies’ lives.

Many people cannot afford to have a baby and if abortion is illegal, what is going to happen when the baby is born? The baby can always be put up for adoption. This would be good for the baby because the baby would be adopted to a family that would be willing to take care of the baby. The woman who was having the baby would know that the baby would be in good hands and would not have to worry about it. This way the baby can live.

Abortion is a terrible thing to do to a baby. Without abortion, babies will have a chance to live just like everyone else in the world. Why end an incident baby’s life for a selfless reason? Every baby should have a chance at life. Therefore, abortion should be illegal.

I tend to disagree and agree here. I disagree because it is there body, but i agree because its a person your killing. The introduction didn't grab me as much as i would have liked. It's not bad though. You do seem to have your emotions in this topic though, which is good. The audience definatly would remember some of this, but not all. I could see people against abortion remembering this, but not someone that was for it.

I agree with the side that you are supporting because I am also against abortion 100%. When you talk about abortion and say that it should be illegalized, I agree with you. I think that your introduction is strong and gets to the point very quickly which is good. Your body is the strongest part in your essay to me, and your conclusion could use a little bit more, but otherwise your essay is very good.

i understand where you are coming from saying that abortion should not be legal but it kind of has to be because there are 15 year old kids getting pregnent out there and without abortion they would have to have those babies and threaten their own life at such a young age. adoption sounds like a good idea but not eveyone will be able to give up that baby and thats where the problem starts. but i do understand where your agrugement is coming from so maybe add some more pros than cons to prove that abortion should be illegal good job olivia good topic
