Stiffer penalties for abortion

After a series of incidents concerning abortion, the senate has filed a bill, seeking a stiffer penalty to those who will commit abortion. Do you think this will lessen the number of abortion incidents in our country? I hope so.

Well, i think they are doing the right thing. No one have any right to take someone else's life aside from God himself. They should have give them chance and not just kill them before they were even born into this world. That is not just and fair

I don't think abortion is the right thing to do. It is wonderful that abortion is illegal in the Philippines. It is such a shame that some back street abortions take place. It would be challenging for the police to find all those ladies that have an abortion in the Philippines. I think that there should be jail for the abortionist. Those abortionists are putting ladies lives at risk and killing innocent babies. Many people in the Philippines are poor and might not be able to afford a huge fine. I know the police in Singapore like to give out fines for the wrong kind of behavior. It would be great if a lady giving a baby for adoption to a loving family got $1000. A lady caught having an abortion should get a fine of $5000 but she probably wouldn't be able to afford that. An abortionist should get a jail term of 10 years. A person wouldn't want to give a lady an abortion if they risked being put in jail for 10 years.

I think this will somehow make those mothers who wishes to commit abortion to be more cautious in doing the act or cautious to where they will be throwing the fetus.. There are a lot of mothers already who commits abortion but are never known to the public or police officers never caught. I do hope our government will act fast and really do something to stop this illegal activities.
