Surname 1Name:Course:Tutor:Date:Abortion is a moral issue that has attracted debates globally. The question on whether abortion should be legalized or illegalized in countries is a serious issue to address. Legalization of abortion is an excellent way to stop the application of restrictive abortion laws which violet women’s human rights based on the agreements made at the Fourth World Conference on women in Beijing (article 1 & 3 &12 &19 & 27.1) ( Levels, Mark, Roderick & Ariana 101 ). The laws state that a woman has a right to make decisions concerning her body.On the other hand, abortion is termed illegal considering Christian and Islamic ethics; no human being has the power to take another’s life. Pregnancy begins at conception thus the conceived fetus has a right to grow and be born.However, both the people advocating for abortion and those against abortion recognize the fact that human life is a sensitive subject to address for human rights and safety. Legalizing abortion helps the protecting the health of the mother through the performance of safe abortion procedures (Finer, Louise, and Johanna 587). Abortion should, therefore, be made illegal except in life-threatening circumstances because, since in such occasion, the primary goal is to protect or save a life and since the mother is more likely to survive when rescued the embryo should be removed.
