Abortion

Chinese people view’s of abortion is quite different from occidental countries perception of the matter. As they consider abortion part of a government policy to measure the established family quota, in our country abortion is considered a crime. However still there are different theories about the beginning of life.

On the other hand, as government reduced to one the number of child, the number of abortions among single women has arisen. Although married women obtain government support as regard to reproductive life, they still carry out abortion. They say they do it in order not to pay the taxes imposed by government. I do not know what kind of policy is that implied in China, but life is unique here and anywhere. Of course, this analogy between life and crime could only be created by men.

Moreover, I must confess that this is such a complex issue to talk about. In one hand, there are people and public institutions such as the Church, which are against abortion and claim for the non legalization of it. Moreover, they ask for strong punishment on those who illegally practice it.

On the other, doctors suggest that abortion may be possible in cases where the mother’s life is at risk. Though, this is restricted only under medical supervision and approval. Furthermore, there are also non government organizations that defend the women’s right to decide in case of an unwelcome pregnancy. However, Church rejects any feasible case of abortion and defends life at all extents. My position to this particular issue is quite the opposite from that of the church. Although I am against a deliberate and irresponsible abortion, I strongly support the fact the doctors’ opinion. However, I think that women may take responsibility over their behaviour and decisions.
