The abortion conflict is one of the most argumentative and opinionated topics of the twenty-first century. There is much controversy over the fact of whether or not the mother has the right to terminate her pregnancy for therapeutic reasons, also whether the fetus is an actual baby, or just a cluster of cells. There are basically two sides to the argument, the ones that are for it, Pro Choice, and the ones that are against it, Pro Life. Through much research and consideration, and though both arguments are very strong, the immorality of abortion has proven to have a stronger argument.
There are many complications that may be induced by having an abortion. In women under twenty there is an two time greater risk of immediate complications, also one in twenty-four experience immediate complications. In addition to that there is a one hundred and fifty percent increased risk of cervical injury, and an one hundred and sixty percent increased risk of tubul pregnancy of mothers who have had previous abortions (American Life League). In general some other complications may include an increased risk of complications or even miscarriage in future pregnancies. A woman who has a baby as a teenager has about a seven percent lifetime risk of getting breast cancer, but a woman who aborts her first pregnancy has about double that risk, fifteen percent or more (Brind 1).
In addition to the afore mentioned complications, there are several other possibilities. Abortion raises the possibility of a miscarriage thirty to forty percent, and almost twenty-five percent of mothers experience complications in future pregnancies. There has been a six hundred percent increase in ectopic (tubul) pregnancies in the U.S. since abortion was legalized.

Abortion
This is a good essay - there are lots of statistics, facts and it is extremely informative. The trouble with writing essays on controversial issues such as this is the danger of getting caught up in the debate. You stay neutral pretty well except for the first and last paragraphs. While it is fine to state your opinion, you should make sure that it is clear that it is YOUR opinion. I think what weakens this essay is where you say that the pro-life argument is stronger. You state it as fact when it is really sujective and you don't clarify that its your own opinion. If it is a FACT that pro-life arguments are stronger then you need to say WHY and prove that it is.
My only other suggestion is that you should perhaps talk more about the health risks of pregnancy to the woman. You mention a lot about the health risks of abortion, and these are true, but in actual fact the risks of giving birth to a baby are higher that the health risks of having an abortion.
Other than that, this is a really good essay. Keep up the good work!
