Pros and Cons of Abortion
Pros
It may be necessary to safeguard the womans health.
Prevent complication arising from pregnancy, if a woman is
suffering from diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney
disease etc. A woman should act according to the medical
advice.
Abortion helps the parents to have an option whether they want
or do not want a child.
It also helps to check the family size.
In situations such as pregnancy arising from rape, or pregnancy
in a mentally retarded woman.
In some cases, medical emergencies compel a woman to resort
to this action. There is a possibility that her own life might be at
risk, if she delivers the child.
Technologies have enabled disease detection amongst unborn
babies. Giving life to an unhealthy baby and watching it suffer
all day and night can be highly jeopardizing for the family as
well as the newborn child.
Pros and Cons of Abortion

Abortion can also lead to serious health complications, and
in some cases the worst case scenario can be death.

for abortion, as a person is forbidding the chance of life to
a developing fetus.
It gives the couple a chance to behave in an irresponsible
manner.
Abortion can give rise to medical complications such as
recurrent miscarriages, infection, sepsis etc.
It can have a grave impact on a womans mental status.
She can become depressed with many other mental
illnesses.
