Abortions Through every choice in life, there is a decision that one must make. Abortions have been a huge debate over the last few decades, deciding on whether it should be legal or illegal. Some states in the U. have made abortions legal, while other still make it very hard for a woman to get an abortion even if it is due to medical issues, or even rape victims. Therefore, women should have the right to their own bodies. Abortions should be legal in the United States to support women’s rights, rape victims and illnesses that can lead to fetal harm.

Women have been fighting for their rights since the 1960 – 1970’s. Women have overcome many obstacles but in today’s age, women are having to fight for the right to get a medical procedure. Abortion is a medical procedure that is done to terminate a pregnancy. The procedure can be as simple as the women taking a pill to abort the fetus or if the pregnancy is to far along that is when the medical procedure will come in play. Most of the time when a woman needs an abortion it is not because they want to it because they need it due to the circumstances that they are in. Women rights movement fought for women’s sexual rights to demonstrate that women should be allowed to decide whether, when and how to get pregnant or terminate a pregnancy; this was the main agenda in the fight for women’s self- determination (Siller & Hochleitner, 2017). Women must fight to be able to do what they want to do with their own bodies because of the laws that are in place. Women also get denied abortions due to parental rights, where the father gets to say whether it is okay. It does not matter the relationship between the two parents the father will still have a say whether it is okay to happen. Having a child is supposed to be the best moment of a women’s life not a moment that is not wanted.

and allow a woman to get an abortion when needed due to a medical illness. Women who suffer from medical illness should be able to get an abortion without wondering if them or their baby is going to live. Finally, when it comes to abortions being legalized, women should right especially if they are rape victims or have metal illnesses that can lead to fetal harm. Rape victims already have to deal with the trauma of what they have been through, let alone bring a child into the world where they will have to see their rapist for the rest of their lives. Also, women who development medical diseases that can lead to fetal harm or potentially death all because women do not have the rights to their own bodies. Women should have a right to their body, which is why abortions should be legalized.
