Answer 1

It's not. Morality made it so.

Answer 2

In my opinion it IS a social problem because abortion affects more than just the girl who has it done.

I was raised to believe that abortion was a sin against God and in some ways I feel quite strong about it....tho.....I happen to know at least 2 girls personally that have had abortions...one was back in the 80s...it affected the girl so badly emotionally that she ended up trying to commit suicide and eventually had to be hospitalized for quite some time...shes in her 30s now and doing much better, tho my mom tells me that her mother, to this day, still mentions the aborted child and wonders WHAT IF...it was their grand child that was lost...you see

The other girl is 19 and just had the abortion this past yr. She too was raised with every bit of conviction, believing it was against Gods will...yet she made the choice...it was a couple months later before her parents found out...her father was extremely devestated to the point that he couldnt eat and got physically sick and had to be hospitalized due to the stress...she is now doing fine with her parents, tho she tells me, that every once in a while, she looks at them and can still see the sadness shes created in them...I know when I heard what she had done...I personally cried...because it feels like I failed her in a way as well.....I told my daughter...had I had known at the time, I personally would have offered to adopt the child had her own parents not been able to help...they would have tho

If my own daughter were to make such a choice I think I would be seriously crushed

I however, in all this...think it needs to be between the girl and God....

but the girl needs to think about all the people she will be hurting...the babys father (how does he feel about it)..the girls brothers and sisters, her parents, her aunts and uncles, her grandparents etc......it WILL effect many more than most like to even consider....

Theres always adoption !!!

Theres always a reason!!

Answer 3

Yes, it is a social problem, but I'm not doing your homework for you.  Google abortion and you will be presented with so much information and opinions on the subject that you'll go crazy.

Let me get you started:

Ten commandments: Thou shalt not kill

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973): Aborting a living fetus is legal.

That should get you going just fine...

Answer 4

DEPEND ON WHO YOU ASK, IT CROSS RELIGIOUS LINES, MORE UNWANTED CHILDREN IF THEY LIVE, STIGMATA WITHIN SOCIETY

Answer 5

What is this - a homework assignment?

Abortion isn't a social problem unless you do it socially (ewww).

Seriously, it's only a social problem when / because people try to impose their morals on the MEDICAL decisions of others - much like interfering with terminal patients arranging a comfortable exit for themselves.

It's only become that sort of problem due to the unholy nexus of big marketing (s*x & promiscuity sells) and repressive organized fundamentalist religion that can't decide whether God is indeed almighty - or whether the diety's will is easily thwarted by a little flim of latex.

The toxic and psychotic synergy of simultaneously repressing it and selling it hard - whilst at the same time cheapening life and medicalizing every inconvenience in life - is the perfect recipe for wanton abuse of the procedure.

It's a social problem because, like prostitution and drugs, it's distasteful to most people, even though the more you try to regulate it the more of it you get.  Like any neurosis, eople want to control what they don't like - so they try to control - but more attempts to control causes more of the problem.

Standard neurotic pattern that's self-inflating.
