First of all, abortion provides individual rights for women to protect and defeat their rights to bear a child or not. Women have the right whether or not they want to continue being pregnant. Society today views abortion as a cold blooded crime and a sin of God for a woman who had have experience an abortion. Rather than viewing an abortion as a life decision for a woman to make and defend their own individual rights. Many antiabortionists support and defend more the fetuses than the women arguing that carry out an abortion is violating fetuses’ individual rights. On the essay of Ellen Willis, she makes an excited statement “I do consider the life of a fertilized egg less precious than the well-being of a woman with feeling, self consciousness…” (508) I strongly agree with Willis that the life of a woman is far more important than fetus and need to be protect and defeat women’s individual rights by allowing abortion to be continue in the United States. Some of the antiabortionists believe that the solution for eliminated abortion is for women to stop having unprotected sex and women to wait for marriage to have sex. According to the essay of Willis, “Criminalizing abortion doesn’t just harm individual women with unwanted pregnancies, it affects all women’s sense of themselves” (509) I agree with Willis if criminalizing abortion will conceded, it will violation women’s individual rights that women will feel unhopeful or powerless of their own bodies. What will happen to women who may experience a dangerous pregnancy or raped? One of my sisters had a dangerous pregnancy; she was in her sixth months and expecting little girl when the doctor discovered that my sister’s health and also the baby were danger. My sister needed to have an abortion to save her life or both my sister and the baby will dead. Without a doubt, my sister had an abortion but if government pass to criminalizing abortion. My sister will possible be dead right now. The same case applies to the women who are raped and having to experience an unwanted pregnancy. A raped victim itself is an emotional stage that many of them are unable to override her terrible experience. An unwanted pregnancy will increase the raped victim’s emotional stage that unwanted baby will possible have an unhappy life.
