Abortion – what is wrong and what is right

There are many different opinions towards the right to terminate a pregnancy and have an abortion done. Everyone has the right to see and understand things in their own way and it is your human right to defend or to appreciate what other do or think about what they are doing. However, subjects like abortion are not as simple as you may want them to be as you may be stepping on the toes of those who believe you to become a murderer in the process.

Of course, there are some points you can agree on and they include that you as a young educated person have taken the liberty of doing something irresponsible that would eventually lead to a pregnancy which you were not interested in having in the first place. What happened there? Is there a way by which you can explain what happened to your judgment and actions and what are you doing about it now? Is this explainable?

Of course, if for some reason you have become pregnant which had nothing to do with your consent or willingness to become pregnant in the first place like for example if you were raped and became pregnant out of that experience or if you have taken precautions not to become pregnant but those precautions did not worked the way they should, then of course, you do have a point to be accepted for your wanting to get an abortion done.

Now, as far as the fetus is concerned, there is no way we can try and give the fetus any responsibility for being there on the first place. It has nothing to do with existence and it has not developed enough to understand life or death at all. In fact, it takes many years of life in this planet to be able to understand these matters properly.

As far as abortion and the issues behind what is right and what is wrong is concerned, it is more of a social issue than a health or emotional issue and we have to understand where we stand and what is the best  action to be taken. Social norms were established to try and help the smaller communities protect their stability and prosperity.  By giving you the right to be a human being, these social entities have been successful in creating healthy pockets where your case can be considered accordingly. One thing is believe, and one thing is faith. However, where do we draw the line between what needs to be done and what should be done because of the results and repercussions in the long run?

Therefore, the statement about the rights of the mother versus the rights of a fetus are confusing and people have to make sure they are dealing with the right frame of mind to be able to understand these things properly. It is not enough to follow the leaders and scream about something that should be done this way of that way. You need to see the repercussions of those actions and see them on individual basis and not as the big picture.

Whether we are free enough to terminate someone else’s life may not be the issue however, the issue maybe to whether terminating the life is what is best for us and for them.
