Last year a controversy began in order to discuss if abortion is or isn’t a crime. Currently, in Brazil abortion is a crime, except in two situations: rape and life-threatening maternity. Some people argue defending abortion as a crime because they believe that life begins at the moment of the child’s conception. In this way, an abortion will be a murder. In contrast, other people think that the murder is not the point. They believe that abortion is a women’s right, and also say that women are able to decide when and how to have a child.
In my opinion, abortion should be prohibited because I believe that the right of a child's life is above the woman’s, once the child has no way to choose and didn’t ask for that situation. Therefore, the exceptions have to be established in cases of rape and life threatening maternity.
To be honest, I think that this discussion is far from an end. I always think of the other side of this discussion and sometimes agree, but I still think that life is an inalienable right for both the child and the woman.

Hey Mary,
Good composition. I think Abortion is one of the most polemic topics. Congratulations.
XOXO,
