Abortion is becoming more and more popular among teenagers. Many of them see it as the only way to deal with pregnancies. I believe this is totally wrong.
First, it is immoral to kill a baby. A foetus is a life and can feel pain. Some argue that if the foetus is not aborted, the teenage girl's future will be ruined. But it is immoral to take a life for one's own benefit.
Second, abortion causes great psychological distress for teenage mothers. Most mothers feel regret and guilt after having an abortion.
Finally, women may also suffer physical consequences. The various abortion methods can damage their wombs. Hence, many women who have abortions may not be able to conceive or carry a baby to full term.
I strongly believe abortions should be made illegal.
