Central Argument: When it comes to abortion, women should have the choice of what to do.

When it comes to the choice of life one might say no one has the right to decide. But according to me, the woman who is carrying the baby inside has a choice whether the child inside her can live or not. Especially with the technology available today which can predict the outcome of how healthy the baby is going to be or which gender is going to be from. The problem of women being forced to conceive usually comes in teenage life or for a woman who is not married. A movie called Juno is a great example of a woman does have the right to decide what to do with her situation. The hindi T.V “aap paas” is a great example for a woman making her choice.

In the movie Juno a teenage girl has sex with her boyfriend and gets pregnant. Then she has a choice whether to conceive the baby or not. Her parents and boyfriend tell her to get an abortion but she decides to go through with it and give her child up for abortion. In the movie it showed her taking all sorts of tests to make sure the baby is healthy. The organizations have successfully set up a way for babies to up for adoption. So if a teenage girl does decide to conceive she can send her baby for adoption. Even if the mother goes for abortion it’s her choice. The daughter went against her parent’s choice but in the end they were all happy as the girl/mother was happy. But when the choice comes to actually having the baby what happens?

In the Hindi T.V show which is about a women who is pregnant without a husband. She decides to have a baby and most of her life is miserable but the baby makes her happy. She works hard and makes the baby has a normal childhood and everything is good. The important part is that she made a choice. A choice which wasn’t good for her? One cannot say, because in the end she was happy. On the other hand she could have just aborted and made her life easier kept her family connections and been even happier. She chose the hard way, but it was her choice. Every human being deserves the freedom of choice, every human which includes a woman or a man. The baby doesn’t have a say because it can’t speak but the mother can therefore she is heard and her decision should count.

I’m not saying abortion is right, I’m saying that a woman has a choice of what to do with her situation. Emily rap chose to have the baby and now she is living with it. She doesn’t regret having the baby just making other women realise that she is in a tough position and if she could have had another chance she would have aborted. All these women have made a choice which has affected their lives in positive or negative means. This does not make abortion right or wrong it just gives the power of choice to the woman who carries the baby. I mean I hate it when people tell me what to do with my things when i know what best for it.
