Jun Yong and Tian Rui's whole speech

A very good morning to everyone present to listen to my speech about the issue of abortion. Upon hearing the word abortion, what comes to your mind first? Most people would think of it as an act of murder of innocent young lives which have yet seen the world beyond. Why would the mothers-to-be end their child's lives? Lets see things from another perspective- what is the purpose of having children? If the children were not aborted, what would happen to the parents and himself? If they did not have any reason, they would not have done such a thing. Think about it, if you were in their shoes, would you have much of a choice? Therefore, allow me now to tell you why abortion should be legalised.

Often, abortion is done by rape victims who are innocent. The rape incident would leave them with horrible memories which would probably haunt them for the rest of their lives. If an abortion is not carried out, the child would only remind her of the rape incident. If the child is born, the father would probably be in the jail or trying to rape more women, and would of course not take care of him. By letting innocent rape victims have a choice, they would be able to let the mental scar fade off over time.

In some of the cases, the parents have no means to support the child. With difficulty making ends meet, it would mean that the parents would have to struggle to raise their child, and the child would also have a disadvantage, which means that both parents and child-to-be would not benefit if an abortion is not done. For example, when the child falls sick or has to do an operation, the parents would have difficulties coming out with the money due to financial problems. In these cases, some are mothers who have to raise the child single-handed with no help of a husband, and the mother would have financial problems since she is the only family member working. With such a situation, I believe having the child born would only mean unjustified punishments for the poor, and those young innocent lives. Moreover, they would still be able to have children when the situations turn better as the time passes.

When the child involved is born, he would probably would not have a good childhood with his parents. Sometimes when the parents decides to have an abortion, it means that they have never thought of having a child, and do not love children. Since they do not want children, the child would only have a bad childhood with his parents, and not well take care off. Many parents do not have much time with their children, as they have to balance between work and parenting. By letting another family member such as the child's aunt or a maid to take care, it would make the relationship between the children and their parents far apart when they do not see each other most of the times, and the entire point of having a child would be meaningless.

Many mothers-to-be who want to go through abortion are too young to raise their children. Young parenting is often hard, as most of the mothers-to-be have no husband, and she has to fund for the children's education with her own salary. Also, the lack of maturity in the young mothers-to-be stresses on the point that an abortion should be made. At their young age, they would probably have problems taking care of themselves, let alone taking care of another life all by herself. They do not have mental preparations to have a child too, and do not know how to raise children. Although some may decide to give birth to the baby and then let people adopt the baby, it is not a very good idea, as they might not be well taken off be their new parents.

As a conclusion, mothers-to-be have their own reasons on why they choose to abort their babies. It is just that many of us do not understand the several reasons behind it. By aborting the baby, it does not mean that the mothers-to-be would not have any next time; they would still be able to have children in the future. If the babies were not aborted, the result might be horrifying, and some parents might even suicide with the children, like many others in the newspapers. Therefore, i strongly believe that abortion should be legalised. Thank you.
