ABORTION

Intro:

The aftermath of an abortion to have abortion or not is a very difficult choice to make. The final choice comes from religious and ethical beliefs. However, to have an abortion means to participate in a horrendous crime against humanity, God, and oneself. Abortion can also have deleterious effect on the mother’s health and well being.
