Abortion is a subject that has been debated for many years. In some countries having abortion is strictly illegal and many people all around the world believe that abortion is a murder. People hold different views on this critical topic and many crises have been raised in almost every country. Following these crises countries had regulations on the laws about abortion. In United Kingdom abortion is allowed until about the 20th week of the pregnancy and it varies in other countries. This is because around 20th week of pregnancy babies start to develop further and they are no longer embryos.
Most religious people believe that abortion should be completely banned. They agree with the idea that it is simply a type of murder and murdering a person is a crime and abortion is just a different type of killing. The supporting idea these people come up with is that, God is the only one who can create life and take them away, so humans should not be interfering with this kind of issues.

Some other, generally non religious people believe that abortion should be not be banned and it should be a personal choice whether a women gets an abortion or not. There could be some cases where the women has no choice but to have an abortion and considering these circumstances some part of the population believe that abortion should never be banned. In countries like China due to high population problems, families are allowed to have only one child. If a women who already has a child is pregnant than that women has to have abortion. This doesn't support the religious view; however as the laws do not allow any more than one child that women have no choice but to get an abortion.
Considering the two different views on abortion, I cannot agree with a particular one of these. As stated above there could be some situations where the women has no choice but to have an abortion and these could be murder, economical difficulties, health problems etc. In this kind of circumstances women should make their own choices. However considering the other view stated, abortion could be seen as a type of killing and taking a life is a sin. Killing is not something that is accepted by all religions in the world, it is not ethical and nobody has the right to take a life away from someone.
