Introduction

Abortion is terminating a pregnancy resulting in the loss of a child. It is a very controversial topic due to the fact that every person has their own personal views on it. Over the years, it has become a more open ended discussion and there are many debates about it. Individuals have become more comfortable with the idea talking about the issue and seeing both the pros and cons of abortion.
