abortion: is it legal or illegal?

In my home country abortion is available on the National Health Scheme for free and in private clinics for a charge. The lady must be less than 24 weeks pregnant. She could have a pill when she is less that 9 weeks pregnant. Later than that she would have to have a medical or surgical abortion. I think abortion is killing a baby so it is murder. Murdering a person that is already on the earth is considered a very serious crime and the murderer goes to jail. If a lady chooses abortion it is considered by the law legal. People tend to have an ethical viewpoint. For myself I wouldn't ever choose to have an abortion because I think every baby is innocent and deserves to live. I was offered an abortion at 36 weeks pregnancy because there is some loophole that will abort a severely disabled baby later than 24 weeks pregnancy. I was shocked and said no way. I let my little baby boy be born. He has got spina bifida and hydrocephalus. In Malta, Nicaragua and Chile abortion is illegal. In many European countries abortion is allowed under 12 weeks pregnancy. I think it is shocking that the abortion limit is 24 weeks pregnancy in my home country. Many people wish to make the limit far lower like 12 weeks pregnancy though it hasn't happened. I think abortion is killing a baby that could live and be adopted. In my opinion the policy should be "abortion is illegal unless the mother's life is in danger". Then abortion numbers would cut by around 98%. Adoption should be made more popular by making it easier.

Well abortion is legal to some and illegal to some. That is why some people go to another country to get their abortion. Well there are some instances that I believe abortion may be needed but its case to case basis.

hello, In our country abortion is still illegal because the church dont want to tolerate this thing because according to the bible it is not right to kill anyone, and they say that even the pregnant women is just 1 month old child in her womb it is still consider a human. The catholic are really against to this act and even me because honestly the church are right. We cannot do this act as a legal because we are killing an innocent baby.

In my country, abortion is illegal, mostly because our church is against it. In my opinion, abortion is normally wrong, especially if it was because the parents simply didn't want the child. However, I can think of a situation when it can be acceptable: that is if the pregnancy is endangering the life of either the mother or the child.

of course it must be classed as illegal! it's killing another life!

abortion is murder no matter when a person believes life becomes official. so it is illegal
