Introduction
Since abortion remains a divisive issue due to the presence of divergent opinions, permitting it with specific limitations is a good decision. Abortion needs to be illegalized unless a woman’s life is at risk, the pregnancy has resulted from rape, or criminal activities are involved.
Thesis Statement
With abortion resulting in the loss of life, strict guidelines and limitations are critical to meet the needs of women affected by poverty, health concerns, sexual abuse, or rape.
Strong Topic
Societies should not permit abortion since it is unethical. However, exceptions could be made when women are facing social problems, such as poverty. Women who are underage or have other children could be allowed to secure abortions (Berer 17).
Stronger Topic
Illegalizing abortion is recommendable unless the life of the women is at risk. The practice could be considered if the ultimate aim is to improve the health outcomes of more women (Mosley et al. 449).
Strongest Case
Cases of rape could be a strong reason for allowing abortion. In the event of sexual abuse, physicians and policymakers can consider the idea of an abortion (Blackshaw and Rodger 468).
Counterarguments
Irrespective of whatever argument or limitation proposed, abortion remains an unethical human practice. Some professionals could consider existing loopholes to support women to abort while ignoring the outlined limitations (Foster et al. 209).
So-What Factor
Stakeholders need to come together to address this dilemma from an informed perspective. A balanced view is necessary where about is permitted only if the outland criteria is met.
Conclusion
Abortion needs to be illegalized since it threatens human life and presents ethical concerns. Societies will permit it when the woman’s life is in danger or cases of abuse or rape are involved.
