Recently, the headline news of a raped ten-year-old Mexico girl
gave birth to a boy baby shocked the world and again aroused the debate on
abortion. Abortion has long been a controversial issue, especially to women. It
is not only a personal decision but also a family’s care or even a society’s
concern. Pro-choicers, who support abortion, claim that abortion is the right
to choose, which means the mother can decide if she wants to keep the baby in
her womb or not. On the other hand, pro-lifers state that abortion is the right
to life (anti-abortion). That is, they think that once the embryo implantation
happens, growing fetus in the uterus starts to have the right to live as a
normal human being. Both the pros and cons parties have their own positions on
this issue and provide strong evidences to support their arguments. What on
earth is the right thing to do? As for me, I think abortion should be banned,
for it not only causes social problems but it also does harm to the mother and
baby.
