Abortion is an act of terminating a baby in a human pregnancy. Abortion become viral thing among society, some say that abortion is fine but others say it is illegal. In Indonesia, abortion is considered as an evil thing. It is like killing other human and must be punished heavily. However, since number of population increase uncontrollable, some people begin to consider that abortion may be a fine solution to solve population explosion.

Abortion is one method of birth control. Let’s look at the fact about the population problem in a country. When a country faces the problems of population explosion, the government should find methods to solve it. But since no method of contraception is one hundred percent effective and successful, abortion becomes the only way out when prevention fails.

On the other hand, abortion may cause many negative effects for women’s health. Women risk their health and lives in bearing the weight of the operation and its consequences. The most common complications are inflammation, interruption of menstrual patterns, infertility, endometriosis, myoma of the uterus, and many other kinds of ovary illnesses.

So far, abortions have become a dilemma for countries with a large number of citizens. On one hand, it can control the birth rate but on the other hand, it brings terrible consequences, especially for women’s health.
