The abortion debate is a debate over whether it is right or wrong to end a pregnancy by having an abortion (medical procedure to end a pregnancy). People on different sides of the debate have different ideas about this. Some people believe that every pregnancy should be allowed to go to full term and should never be ended early by abortion. They see abortion as taking away a life and not allowing a baby to be born and get the chance to live. Other people believe it's a person's choice whether to end a pregnancy early and some people think it is wrong to force someone to end their pregnancy. They think it can be an important option for people who are not ready to have a baby or who cannot take care of a baby. They believe that it is each person’s own decision to make, and it should not be taken away from them.
