Please notice that I am not including rape and life endangerment to the mother in this argument.

I am for abortion. Yes, I know what happens when the mother aborts the baby. The fetus is killed and doesn't live again. And yes, most of the times, it is the mother's fault for having the baby. I do agree that the fetus has no say on it's life when it's in the mother still. Abortion is murder to many people, but I disagree.

My views on abortion are due to it making the mother's life easier. If the mother has a history of good choices and is a good member of the community, then that could go away when she has a baby. When the baby is born, there is a chance that it won't be someone that's good to the world. Furthermore, the mother also is to take care of the baby if she keeps it, thus making the life of the mother easier. The stress on the mother is multiplied if she has no one else to rely on.

On the other side of the coin, the baby could grow into a very smart and great person when he or she grows up. Who knows, he or she can even make a legacy such as Shakespeare, Einstein, and Newton did(or Hitler).

In conclusion, my views on abortion are based on the opinion that the fetus has little value. It isn't considered a human life to me. It can't think or understand, so if it makes the life of the mother easier, then abortion should be an option.
