15. ‘People should never be allowed an abortion’ What do you think? Explain your opinion. 3 marks

16. In my opinion I think a woman should be allowed the right to chose whether she has an abortion as it is her body. Another reason I agree is because we do not know how she became pregnant, if for example this was because of rape, she might never love the baby and therefore should be allowed to abort it as it would be the more loving thing for the baby. However, Christians would disagree because life is a gift from God and therefore it is scared so we must always protect the sanctity of life and never have an abortion.
