Major cause of abortion

It is estimated that there are about 4000 abortions a day in the United States . Surveys of women aborting their babies indicate that 1 of them are doing so because of rape or incest . Other reasons for abortion include birth control (contraceptive ) failure . Over half of all women who have an abortion used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant

Abortion has been a very emotional issue among pro-life and pro-choice activists for centuries . The pro-life activists argue that abortion should be completely banned . And

the pro-choice activists argue otherwise . But why is the debate so heated up and why does it always have to be so emotional

A source from an article read

There 's an argument these days that a fetus is a "person " that is "indistinguishable from the rest of us " and that it deserves rights equal to women 's . On this question there is a tremendous spectrum of religious , philosophical , scientific , and medical opinion . It 's been argued for centuries . Fortunately , our society has recognized that each woman must be able to make this decision , based on her own conscience To impose a law defining a fetus as a "person " granting it rights equal to or superior to a woman 's - a thinking , feeling , conscious human being -- is arrogant and absurd . It only serves to diminish women

The issue of abortion has divided the country so much that people are even scared to make their stand public
