doctor is preparing for a life-saving surgery, right? But actually, he's about to perform
an abortion. So, can you guess what I'm going to talk about? Abortion.
As you know, abortion is legal in some countries Canada, France, and Australia
but still considered inhumane in others. Some see it as a way to relieve the burden of
having children. However, I firmly believe this is not right. Ending the life of an unborn

think that abortion is a way to relieve their burden of having
unwanted children. However, I firmly believe that it is not right.
Slide 3: Ethical Considerations
Ending the life of an unborn baby is immoral and almost always has
negative effects on the mother's emotional and physical health.
First off, abortion is considered vicious and unethical. Many people oppose abortion
because of their morality and conscience, believing the fetus has real life. From the

protection, not harm.
Secondly, abortion involves significant health risks for women. Slide 4: Health Risks
According to the World Health Organization, around 39,000 women
die annually from unsafe abortions, and millions more suffer Now that we've covered the ethical considerations, let's talk about the health risks.

procedure, there are some risks.' These risks include heavy bleeding, infection,
damage to organs, or uterine perforation.
Besides, the emotional impact cannot be ignored. According to Slide 5: Emotional Impact
'Abortion and Mental Health,' about 81% of women who have an
abortion are likely to experience mental health issues. Common As I just mentioned, the emotional impact cannot be ignored. . According to 'Abortion

anxiety, grief, sadness, and depression. These facts really make us reconsider the full
impact of abortion on both physical and mental health.
Third, there are times when there is a difficult decision. Some people Slide 6: Risky Pregnancies and Disabilities
