Abortion is defined as the euthanasia of an unborn fetus. This, in other words, means the killing of an innocent, unborn baby girl or boy. There are approximately 205 million pregnancies that occur each year around the world. Over a third of that number is unintended, which means the pregnancy was not planned nor intended. A fifth of that number ends in abortion. The most common users of abortion are the unintended pregnant women. These women range in the ages of sixteen to early twenties. The reasons for these abortions are that these women are not ready for or do not want a child. They may not be able to support a child and believe that it is unfair to bring a child into a world that does not have opportunity for them. Another reason for abortion is that many fetuses can cause chronic health issues with the mother who is carrying the baby. There has been much controversy on this topic. There are different points of view on abortion; people either believe in it or they do not. In my point of view, a child is given to someone for a reason. God gives children to certain people because He believes in them and He has a reason for the child being on earth and having an abortion kills that baby as well as hope for the boy or girl. There are many people that believe and think the same way, but there are also people who believe the exact opposite. They think that killing a fetus is perfectly alright as long as it does not interfere with their lives. Then there are people who do believe that abortion is wrong but do not have the money or lifestyle to support or care for the child they bring into the world. This is the most common debate choice that relates most to younger women that may be in their teenager years or early twenties. For these younger women, they are mostly occupied on what their parents or even friends are going to think when they are notified about the pregnancy so they instantly turn to abortion as the solution to their problem.

Each year, there is an estimated number of 42 million abortions and 20 million of them are performed unsafely. This means that the person who did the abortion was not properly trained in the medical field. As a result, there is a maternal death, which is a sudden death of a woman during pregnancy, but in this case, there is a death during an abortion. Approximately 97% of unsafe abortions are taken place in developing countries. So during an abortion, not only is an unborn fetus killed, so is the women barring the child. This type of death act is not only wrong and unjust, but it is also dangerous not only for the baby but also for the mother.
