Abortion causes a lot of controversy. The definition is "the termination of pregnancy by various means, before the fetus is able to sustain independent life"
On the one hand, people who are against abortion think that life begins at conception, and abortion is the same as murdering a person and taking a human life. They also think that adoption is an alternative to abortion and it gives the same result. In addition, abortion can result in medical complications, such as affecting a woman’s future ability to become pregnant.
On the other hand, others say that abortions take place in the first trimester, when a fetus cannot exist independently of the mother, and it’s not considered as a human life, so it’s not a murder. Furthermore, they say that adoption is not an alternative to abortion. Moreover, abortion is a safe medical procedure, it has less than 0.5% risk of serious complications and does not affect a woman's health.
All in all, I think that abortion is not comparable with a murder. In my opinion, the woman who wants to abort can do it. She can decide what she wants to do with her own body, and if she wants to be a mother or not.
