The main reason why abortion is still very controversial is due to ethics. There are some people who believe that abortion is always wrong because it already involves killing something that is already alive.
This means that the baby is being killed before normal childbirth, and this does not sit well with other people. Some people are saying that there is nothing wrong with abortion as long as the termination of pregnancy happens during the first trimester.
There are many things that people believe in that may be different from what other people believe in. The differences in beliefs and understanding of how abortion should be done make it even more controversial.
Abortion is so common but it still remains a controversial topic, this is because it cut across the moral, legal and religious aspect of the society. The controversial topic involves the “pro – choice” and “pro – life” side of the debate.
Pro-choice emphasizes the right of women to determine whether to keep a pregnancy or terminate it and pro-life emphasizes the right of the embryo or foetus to be born.
For many people, it is more of a moral issue, concerning the right of a foetus and the right of a woman over her own body. The controversy has become a legal and political issue in many countries with anti-abortion campaigners seeking to expand anti-abortion laws and abortion campaigners seeking to ease the laws on abortion.
