Debates on abortion continue to circle around the question if it is morally right to terminate a pregnancy before birth. Deliberately terminating pregnancy is similar to killing a person. With that, some people think abortion is completely wrong, yet some people think there are cases of which abortion can be considered or morally accepted.
The main premise is that killing or terminating life is wrong, and this morally concludes that abortion, wherein a fetus or life is terminated during pregnancy is wrong. Some mothers who got unwanted pregnancy cause by rape, or unplanned pregnancy consider abortion due to many personal reasons. Pregnancies caused by rape [1] are often emotionally and psychologically challenged by social traditions and norm. In some societies, children who grow up with the society knowing that the pregnancy was caused by rape often experience socializing and acceptance to be difficult. To a mother, she may be right to think of protecting a person from such psychological torture, but we all know that with the future unknown, abortion is not an option.

Ethical Arguments on Abortion
This is a persuasive essay, so in evaluating it, there are two considerations: did the essay persuade, and, is the essay reasonably well-written? Sadly, for this essay, the answer on both points is "no."
As far as the persuasive aspect of the essay goes, the writer merely relies on the view, not precisely stated, that life begins at conception, and then proceeds to set up a series of straw-man arguments which he dismisses instead of really rebutting them.
As for the writing, it is imprecise, awkward, and tedious. In short, this is less than a top-notch product.
