Letter: Abortion should be illegal all over the world

I don’t think that abortion should be legal because there are alternatives instead of killing a baby, and it’s morally wrong.

Adoption is the best alternative in my opinion. I believe this because if the mother doesn’t want the child, then they can give it up for adoption to family that does want the child and will take care of it. It’s a win win situation for both parties involved.

They now also have visiting rights so, if the parents of the child want to still be a part of the child's life, they can.

Human life is sacred and shouldn’t be taken away from the child. It wasn’t his/her fault that it was created so why punish it for it? Abortion is the same as murdering somebody. That baby is a person and if the doctors kill it they are murderers, along with the parents because it was their choice to do so.

Abortion should be illegal all over the world.
