When people think of abortion they think of killing a baby when it’s simply just a fetus developing in your stomach which in all reality it is considered a baby when it is born. Abortions should be legalized in the U.S because it will reduce the amount of children being abandoned and neglected, it will reduce the amount of unfit mothers, and reduce the amounts of pregnancies due to being a rape victim.
In the United States there have been over six thousand children being abandoned each year. There is no easy way to say this but, mothers who can’t physically provide for their child have been abandoned and neglected. According to “Child Abandonment -Legal Dictionary”, “physical abandonment…leaving a child somewhere with no intent to return for him.” Mothers should be allowed to abort due to the reason that the more mothers who are not ready to have babies the more children there would be out there being abandoned with no one to care for them. Mothers are often worried about being able to provide food, clothes, and shelter for their offspring so mothers often abandon their child. In other words, to prevent any more child abandonments; abortion rights should be legalized to stop children from being left all alone. Children later in life often have abandonment issues due to being left behind and feel as if it is their own fault. Many times people are against abortion rights due to killing the baby and how it is against the word of god. The fetus is yet to be a baby, it is considered a baby when you give birth. If you simply cannot provide for the baby it is best to abort and save yourself from regret.
In addition, unfit mothers have problems emotionally connecting with their young. Unfit mothers often come to be due to unplanned pregnancies and it often leads to not being able to emotionally bond with their young. According to “Teen mom Erica Gomez arrested for allegedly stabbing, killing newborn baby- El Paso Times”, “Immediately after the child was born, Gomez allegedly wrapped the newborn in a bathrobe and hid the infant inside a storage shed.” Unfit mothers have unbalanced hormones that lead to unintentional things they might not mean to do.

Teen mom Erica Gomez was pregnant and talked about getting an abortion, but she could not get one. She gave birth at the age of seventeen and did not know what to do, her hormones were all over the place when she gave birth so she killed her baby. Mothers like Erica Gomez who do not want a baby should be able to get an abortion because physically harming the baby after giving birth is unacceptable and getting an abortion is far more appropriate then giving birth and murdering her own child. Studies show that seventy-two percent of people have killed their own babies due to being mentally unstable. Abortions should be legalized all over the United States to prevent unfit mothers to physically and emotionally harm their baby.
Moreover, victims due to being raped should be able to abort not only because they were sexually assaulted, but because of a traumatic event they had gone through. Often others think of having a baby as a blessing although, in many cases being raped is not one of them. People do not want abortion to be legalized due to being a rape victim, but because it is not the baby’s fault. In other words, the reason abortion should be legalized is for example, you will not be able to look into your son’s eyes and say you love them you because will picture your rapist and since it may not be the child’s fault, the rapist will forever be taunting you and that will lead to never being able to love nor look at your child as a blessing.
According to “Should Abortion Be Allowed For Rape Or Incest”, “If a rape victim gets pregnant, the rapist not only forced himself on her; he forced a baby on her as well. He forced her into pregnancy, labor, and years of responsibility for a child she didn’t consent to create. That’s the full reality of what rape victims may face.” Having a baby you do not want can cause more harm and remind you of a traumatic event that had occured and loving the baby would be nearly impossible due to the fact that the baby would remind you of the one person who hurt you. Furthermore, aborting a baby due to being a rape victim should be allowed to reduce the amount of kids being conceived without consent.
In conclusion many do not seem to fully comprehend that we should be allowed to have abortions if we decide we want one. We should be able to get rid of unwanted pregnancies due to not being able to be emotionally attached and abandoning the child, not being able to support, and due to being a rape victim because of not being to fully connect with the child. Aborting a child is something that should be talked about more often. Many people who want abortions or need to talk to someone about it cant, not without being judged.
Our society has become to judge those who cannot have a child and those who want to get rid of one. I spoke to three individuals who have had abortions and have other kids and i asked them two questions “Were you able to talk to anyone about wanting an abortion? as of your other kids did you ever feel as if you were judged based off on how you raised them?” Two-Thirds of the mothers say that they have been judged and felt “ashamed” as if they did not know how to take care of their own child. All three mothers say that they had an abortion due to being financially unstable and felt as if they had the baby that they would have to abandon the child.
