7 Reasons for Abortion ...

For some women, the idea of abortion is something they simply cannot even countenance. For others, it’s as easy as deciding what to wear, and for still others, they may be faced with a decision they wished never to have to contemplate. Without making any judgement or argument and without passing personal opinion, here are 7 reasons for abortion.

1. The Result of a Crime

When a pregnancy is the result of a crime such as rape, incest or child abuse, if a woman doesn’t want a permanent reminder of her ordeal, abortion may be the answer. There is the option to have the baby and have it adopted. However, this means the woman has to live through 9 months of the consequences of something that was a harrowing experience.

2. The Mother's Mental Health

Another of the reasons for abortion is that the pregnancy may be a danger to the mother’s mental health. This also implies insufficient to look after a child after it is born. Termination is sometimes safer and even necessary for the mother.

3. Physical Risks

This is similar to the previous reason. If a pregnancy puts a woman at physical risk, abortion might be the only solution to maintain her own fragile health. Again, the health and well being of the mother must be considered as well.

4. The Child's Health

Another of the reasons for abortion concerns the child and not the mother. If the unborn child is known to have physical defects, parents to be may not be mentally pre-disposed to take care of a handicapped child. They must weigh the potential risks and problems.

Similarly, abortion may be the option taken if genetic defects are suspected. Other mental defects must be considered as well. These include such issues as those caused by the mother’s substance or alcohol abuse.

6. Social Questions

There may be social reasons for abortion. A mother may be too young to cope with a child or may be ill equipped to cope physically and mentally, or because she already has too many children. Poverty is also another factor under social considerations.

7. Population Control

Another of the reasons for abortion is population control. It might be government policy to regulate population size or to control ethnic, religious and cultural groups within a population. It might also be used as a way of improving the physical and mental demographics of a population.

Abortion is an incredibly complex and emotive moral issue, and even those who faithfully believe they would never opt for a termination may one day find themselves facing this most difficult of questions and being presented with the options; who can say how we would all react? Unwanted children can have miserable lives, whilst a mum who dies because having the child caused the anticipated problems to manifest themselves leaves behind a grieving father and a motherless infant. This is one of those ethical issues that no-one will ever agree on and the reasons for abortion are treated differently from country to country, culture to culture and religion to religion. For all these reasons for abortion I’ve listed here, you will find someone to argue the case for both sides. Nothing will ever change this because even if science intervenes there’s no perfect response to the questions of life and death. Unfortunately, man was given a mind to make choices, unlike the animal kingdom that exists on natural selection and survival of the fittest. Would you like to discuss this difficult subject?

2 wrongs don't make a right! There are other better, more responsible ways to approach the challenge of an unexpected pregnancy. A human is a human is a human.... Injustice anywhere is a threat to injustice anywhere, so it is everyone's business whether or not someone can kill another without consequence....

I wish all you anti abortionists would just shut the hell up. Do any of you know what goes through a woman's head when she's walking into that clinic? When she makes that call? Makes that choice? No, bill fat no. Stop being a pack of judgmental bitches. We're all female, all you are doing is making a woman feel bad for being a woman!!!!

I loved that you posted this. It makes me happy that someone is bold enough to talk about a hard subject like this, but it needed to be talked about. I believe in being pro-choice, because like everyone else, I have no right to say what another woman does with her body. And it's bad to say, but it's survival of the fittest.

@Anna. do you hear yourself talking?? honestly, survival of the fittest?! because an unborn baby has a chance to survive and protect itself right? It's up to the mother to protect her child, not kill it. I think u need to study the meaning of survival of the fittest.

We do not live in a perfect world where every woman has a perfectly healthy baby at the age of 25 with a loving husband that makes $50,000+ a year and lives in a house with a white picket fence. There are plenty valid reasons for a woman wanting an abortion. This is about CHOICE. If you do not want an abortion, or believe that it is evil do not get one. You however do not get to force your viewpoints and religious beliefs onto a pregnant woman. Abortion only concerns the pregnant woman, because it is her body the fetus is living off of, not yours. And for all of those crying about future doctors and presidents why not take a minute to wonder about future Hitlers.

What if the mother to be was using protection? What if it would be unfair on the child to bring it into a world where she cannot cater to it. What if by going ahead with her pregnancy she would loose her job which would then impact on her other children.

It must be hard being so perfect like so many of you. If you're against abortion, I really hope you support birth control. I've worked with unwanted kids, it's very sad. You can't sit back and judge, coulda shoulda woulda. How many babies have any of you adopted? Oh, none? Hmm...
