The article mentions in her fourth paragraph that abortion can lead to pernicious outcomes on woman who has undergone the procedure of abortion. For instance, the article suggests that studies have shown the increased likelihood of breast cancer in women who aborted their child. By providing this evidence, it back-ups the argument furthermore. However, it is a little unconvincing as the article simply demonstrates the main topic of the study. If the article had suggested a detailed and a scientific reason why there is an increased percentage of breast cancer as well as providing a source for his statistics, it would have been more supportive for her argument The article also argues that there are governmental systems and programs that are offered for low-income families or teenagers who do not possess enough wealth to support their child’s future growth and development. On the other hand, I believe that this argument simply addresses the main purposes of such programs, but does not address the reality of our society. Although there are existing programs in many countries, it is difficult for the government to provide financial aid to every member of low-income families to support their child. And often times, these systems are not well acted out. Although the government do provide financial aids, they are most times provided in a very low level; not enough to support a single month. I think that this is the reason why there are increasing numbers of abortion coming to action these days, and the article fails to address this reality in her evidence. The article also comments that abortion is equal to a murder. However, I think that this is a biased opinion disregarding the woman’s circumstance. Women might not be in a financial situation where she could afford her child, or there might be strong oppressions from her parents not allowing her to have a child. Defining abortion as a murder feel very hostile and disrespectful towards people who disagree with the article and will be hard to open their minds. If the article had used a smoother phrase instead of murder, it might have been more better written for all people, even towards ones who have opposing arguments.
