Topic
Abortion
What are the key points of contention on this topic?
It is important to take care of the mother's life before considering a fetus who relies on
a mother.
There has been disagreement on when life began between scientists
A woman should make a decision on abortion based on the right information after
consultation with a medical professional
Abortion is legally right
What side of the argument (stance) do you take on this topic?
I support the argument that abortion should be accessible to every woman, and it is
her right to decide whether she wants to keep the child or not.
Mothers' lives are important as they have more human aspects than the fetus, who has
not grown to the point of feeling pain and hurt.
What strong points does the other side of this topic have?
Human life is valuable, and it is important for individuals to consider the possibility
of having a child before terminating it.
What were the three most important things you took away from the topic?
1. There is a need to establish when life begins in order to avoid terminating a
human being.
2. Abortion being legal does not mean it is ethical and right to terminate a baby.
3. Before an abortion, it is important that a woman's decision is not based on the
accessibility and the legal right but also on research and thorough self-
interrogation on whether she really wants to take away the child.
