RE: #AIR-CLINIC PUBLIC FORUM 19: Should Abortion Be Legalized?

Should abortion be legalized?

The answer depends on two schools of thought. There are arguments for and against legalising abortion. From the moral point of view abortion is seen as ending a life. Simply put; 'murder'. Others would also argue that abortion legalisation could promote promiscuity among young ladies. From a medical point of view life may be viewed to begin after birth not in utero and so abortion may not be viewed as murder in that case. There's also the concern about the mother's health due to the fact that despite the fact that abortion is illegal it is still practiced in secrecy by mostly unprofessional and unqualified personnel leaving the mother at high risk of maternal mortality. In a nutshell abortion has two sides of the coin and each side have their points to prove. However in my opinion, taking into consideration, the volatile environment of Nigeria it may just be safe for abortion to remain illegal because this country is unpredictable.
