There's an age-old question that no one has been able to answer without involving themselves in a heated debate - is abortion right or wrong? Abortion is when you end a pregnancy by removing a fetus from the uterus before the woman gives birth. Many people consider morals and legality along with safety when arguing for or against abortion. There is also debate on when life actually starts. Some think that life starts at conception while others think life starts when the baby is born. For women who are pregnant or plan to be pregnant, abortion is okay.
When taking morals into account, we should take the best course of action that we are confident with. What circumstances should a woman experience in order for someone else to deem them worthy of getting an abortion? For example, if continuing a pregnancy would lead to the mother's death or life being in danger, even those who insist abortion is wrong would agree that aborting the fetus is morally acceptable.
Another situation would involve rape victims. According to RAINN, one out of every six American women have been involved in an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. I believe that a pregnancy caused by rape is the result of a horribly violent crime and that the victim should be allowed to abort the fetus and not focus on viability if they're reminded of their trauma and mental distress. Other reasons the woman would want an abortion is if her financial situation is unstable or if the child has a disability and would be born into a harsh life.
Due to abortion being illegal in different areas of the world, women have turned to unsafe abortions. An unsafe abortion is when women have an abortion in an unsafe and unclean environment without any skills. According to WHO, there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions every year. 47,000 women die due to complications of unsafe abortions every year. If abortion was legal, however, there would be an increased chance of aborting safely and being provided with alternatives, such as contraceptives that can get rid of the fetus. The death rate of women would not increase as drastically.
Based on tips from On Writing Well by William Zinsser, I was able to implement his advice from the section labeled "Bits & Pieces." Zinsser states that the dash is regarded as not quite proper, but does the job since it elaborates or justifies a second part of a sentence. There is no need to add an extra sentence when a dash can help a sentence sum things up. I also used mood changers, such as the word "however." If you use the word "however," you shouldn't use it in the very beginning or ending of a sentence, but as early as you can. I also tried to keep my paragraphs reasonably short since Zinsser states that writing should look inviting and visually pleasing.
