ABORTION

By: Jelmer Panaligan

Abortion means ending a pregnancy before the fetus or the

unborn child can live independently outside the mother. Ideally,
pregnancy is a wanted and happy event for a woman, their partners
and their families. Unfortunately in some other cases. It is not
always so. In the Philippines, some women are faced with a difficult
situation that they have to give birth to a child wherein they are not
prepared or able to care for because they become a pregnant
unintentionally.
Abortion is neither right nor wrong, simply left open for
interpretation. Some says that it is a murder because the deprived a
helpless baby to have the chance to live. On the other hand, they
say that it is the mothers right to choose what happens to her
body. Its up to her if she decides that she is not capable of bringing
a child. Theres so many question that is being raised up concerning
about abortion but still we dont know if its really a good decision
not only for a mother but also to everyone especially for both
families or a bad decision because it is a kind of a murder where
they kill an unborn baby and put the life of the mother at risk as
well.
In my opinion as a teenager, I think abortion is committing a
sin. Its morally wrong because you are just wasting your time and
the life of a baby. To see how the doctor and nurses to take out all
the babys parts and the separation of body parts would really made
me sick to my stomach. I feel in this country, as Catholics we should
stop an act that destroys everything we believe in. the best solution
I think is to let the baby out and just give it up for adoption atleast
the kid can live.
