Should Abortion Be Made Illegal?

My presentation today is about how I think abortion should be made illegal.

A mother kills her unborn child simply because it is inconvenient, but she's not charged for murder. Is it right? Yet when someone steals eggs from the nest of a wild bird they can receive a prison sentence of up to 6 months per egg. There are about 46 million abortions per year worldwide, and approximately 115,000 per day, but why? Is it because of rape or incest, health problems with either the mother or the child, or just because the baby's unwanted or inconvenient at the time? Abortion should be banned because too many babies are being killed for no reason. If a child is not wanted it can always be put up for adoption, and most mothers don't understand the consequences that occur from abortion. Getting an abortion is a very tough decision to make with serious consequences. The process requires the pregnant, soon to be mother, to go through a procedure where the foetus in the uterus is killed and extracted from her body. The decision to have this done could be a very regrettable one. It may feel like it is the right thing to do at the time, but later on in life the mother and father of the unborn child might realise that they wanted to keep the child, but then it is too late. Abortion affects society, families, and the individuals who allow the procedure to be done. It also allows young people to think they can act irresponsibly, take risks and have a complete disregard for moral and human rights.

Is there really a difference between abortion and murder? If a doctor killed a child one minute after it was born it would be murder, but if a doctor killed a child up to 24 weeks in the womb it would be the mother's choice. 52% of abortions occur before the 9th week of pregnancy, 25% happen between the 9th & 10th week, 12% happen between the 11th and 12th week, 6% happen between the 13th & 15th week, 4% happen between the 16th & 20th week, and 1% of all abortions happen after the...
