Should Abortion Be Illegal

More and more modern people now have literal attitudes toward sex, taking one-night stand for granted. Then, abortion has become a controversial issue between young women and religious groups nowadays. Although many religious groups strongly disapprove of abortion and see it as another kind of murder, I still consider that it is time for us to take abortion in a positive aspect in order to solve some urgent problems.
Many antiabortionists believe that abortion will harm women’s lives and reproductive organs, causing a lot of health problems in the future. At worst, some women can not bear child again or may even die if the abortion surgery fails. However, I can’t agree with their ideas. I think the government should set a complete abortion system to assure women’s safety, and let them receive the abortion with good medical care. After all, there is no use forbidding abortion because those people who want to get rid of their children will search for illegal in the hands of unlicensed doctors to abort unwanted children, but they risk their lives. As a consequence, the government’s responsibility is to protect women instead of putting people be in danger, and the officials should go with stream to change their attitudes toward abortion.
Outlawing abortion will increase a lot of teenage mothers who do not have enough money and ability to raise their children. Those girls are unmarried and they do not have a complete family for their newborn babies. Sometimes they do not even know how to take care of a child. If a young mother determines to receive an abortion operation, a safe and legal abortion should be available at a fair price to her, and performed in a safe and legal surrounding by competent medical professionals. In contrast, poor women who can not afford the expensive abortion service and are often forced to seek unqualified abortion under unsafe, degrading condition.
A legal abortion can reduce a number of babies who have genetic diseases or are born addicted to heroine, cocaine and alcohol. By the advanced medical technology, an expectant mother can know beforehand whether her baby is healthy or not. Illegal abortion will force the mother- to- be have no choices to born handicapped babies or damaged to drugs, and the babies may become a troublesome burden for the whole family. To bring up those disabled children will cost a lot of money, and the mothers have to spend double time taking care of the babies. It is a torture for not only the mothers but also the babies. Therefore, access to legal and safe abortion can decrease the number of babies born with incurable and congenital birth defects.
Moreover, illegal abortion can not let women have rights to choose whether they want to give birth to the babies or not, and be responsible for their own decisions. Although the constitution guarantees people’s free will, it will be easily violated if the legislators fight against abortion. Worst of all, outlawing abortion will increase the human population and then add up the burden on the overtaxed environment. To ban abortion will cause misery, pain, grief and suffering to those who have already overloaded with too many children.
Though some conservative people oppose to legalize abortion, many researches and statistics prove that moderately support abortion can not only release some people’s pressures but also decrease the overcrowded human population. Consequently, we should not solely follow the traditions or religious regulations to ban abortions. On the contrary, if we think over the issue in depth, we will understand that it is necessarily to accept abortion timely.

It is the end of the semester, and I suddenly feel that time passes so quickly. I have stayed in my college for two years. When I saw the graduate ceremony yesterday and took pictures with my school sister, I know that two years later I will also leave from this school. I started to feel that I do not study hard in these two years. And I think that if it is time to graduate from school, can I prepare well to go to work. I feel anxious and spur myself to work harder, pressing myself to improve my foreign languages’ ability. Summer vacation is coming soon, I begin to plan how to use these three months well. Most of my classmates go aboard to practice their English, they plan to go to the school and speak English with the foreign students who come from different countries. Although I can not go to the Australia or America like my friends, I still can learn English myself by reading about TOEFL and listening to the studio classroom. I hope that I can successfully pass the TOEFL exam and be a transfer student to America.
And now I am trying hard to find a part time job in Kaohsiung. I will be uneasy if I do not have any income during the summer vacation. Therefore, I surf the Internet to find any chances to be an English tutor. I want to teach the high school students because I can earn a lot of money easily. And the high school student will not be so mischievous like the elementary school’s student. All in all, I want to gain many social experiences to let myself can adapt to the society easily in the future.

I want to feed a dog recently. Many people ask me that why I must feed a dog now? They think that I am a student and I do not have enough money and time to take care of it. However, I consider that I have earned some money now by being a tutor. I have confidence to raise my pet in a good environment. Moreover, my roommates and boyfriend are now strongly support me to feed a dog. They can give me a hand when I do not have time to take care of my dog. Therefore, I make a determination to feed a dog. However, my mom does not agree that I feed a dog. She says that I must pay more effort on the dog rather than on the homework. And my dad extremely hates dog. Although I try to persuade him to let me feed a pet, he refuses me without hesitation. However, I do not want to care what their opinions but just do what I want.
Therefore, I surf the Internet and download the information about dogs. But I immediately become depressed when I see most of my favorite dogs have genetic diseases. I am afraid that if my pet have any disease and suffer any pain, I will be anxious and sad. I will treat my pet just like my son, giving him the best environment. I know there are many barriers which wait me to deal with, but I will insist on my belief. I seldom ask my parents to give me motor or computer, I respect them and I do not want to make any problem which let them worry. But this time, I will not give up.
