                                    Abortion Rights

On January 22, 2019, as I walked from the streets on Manhattan from a busy day at work, I was surprise to see that the number of people on the streets has exponentially increased. People were screaming, shouting and celebrating all over the city of New York. Pink smokes covered the whole city and traffics had intensified. This celebration was so intense that one might think that it will never end. A I walked through the crowd, I asked one person what the celebration is all about. With much enthusiasm and smiles, she informed that a new reproductive act had been passed. Initially I could not believe it. I thought to myself are we really celebrating the killing of babies.

Abortion is a very controversial topic which raises a lot of emotions when discussed. Unfortunately, the topic cannot be avoided. Most people get married to get babies. People spent a lot of money in order bear children. Others also detest protecting the right of babies. There is a huge spectrum of people with different views and opinion on the topic of abortion. Planned parent was established help people understand and also deal with the emotional trauma that comes with abortion. Although all groups have legitimate reason to hold onto their believes, emotions and feelings cannot be the only reason to stand for or against abortion. I stand against the idea of abortion and as such abortion should be illegal and our society must drown upon it.

There are so many reasons why one might support the idea of abortion. Some believe that abortion should be allowed because some circumstances such the mother's life been endangered or when a woman gets pregnant through horrible acts such as rape. I once spoke on the topic of abortion to group of students. One student in tears, challenged my views with on the topic and revealed that she was raped as child. She wanted to keep the baby but she knew that keeping the body will affect t her emotionally. Well data shows that the number expectant mother that ate at risk of death is very low. In order words, the idea that abortion should be allowed just because some people go through complication is not valid. Of course, the low number does mean we have to ignore the people going through a such terrible trauma, but the solution is not allowing abortion. There are always exemptions to any rule.
