Abstract
Abortion as a social problem is mostly misunderstood while it should be considered as a universal choice for all women. Women should be granted the right to procure abortion safely without suffering the criticism of the society on morality grounds. Individuals and the society at large should have the liberty to face abortion as a health and social matter rather than an ethical problem. The provision of rights and liberty to procure an abortion would bring to an end the cases of an abortion gone wrong while the justification would be highly relevant on personal and social levels. The benefits of abortion would include the prevention of birth of children with physical defects and unwanted pregnancies, prevent financial stress and also save lives by averting critical health complications. In consideration of the benefits of abortion, it should be legalized and granted as a right to bring to an end a lot of avoidable consequences and dangers. More so, the society should reconsider the ethical questions surrounding abortion and allow room for abortion as a sustainable solution to some social and health problems.

Introduction
Topic and Thesis
The procurement of abortion is a matter of choice rather than a question of humanity and morality. It is, therefore, appropriate to consider the rights and liberty to procure an abortion as being autonomous and not up to debate (Robertson, 2017). The central focus of this report is to evaluate the rights of abortion and its essence in favor of the debate on abortion as a moral issue.

Preview of Main points
In light of the considering and procuring abortion, there are vital issues to consider regarding why abortion should be the ultimate solution to critical problems (Goldenberg, 2017). The fundamental concerns involve putting the life of the parent in danger, severe financial problems and also ensure the elimination of unwanted pregnancies (Jelinska & Yanow, 2018).
The justification for the Rights to Abortion
Abortion provides clinical intervention for uterus complications
Abortion is essential in providing health solution in a case where the parent or the fetus is in danger of severe health complications (Tasset, & Harris, 2018). The procurement of abortion would bring to an end any possible health threat posed to the parent or child if the child was to be born.
In particular, childbirth attracts a lot of dangers, and in specific cases, it could lead to the death of the mother. It is thus worthwhile to procure abortion as a safety measure to prevent the possible loss of life of the mother during childbirth.
Abortion prevents the mother possible financial stress and trauma attributable to childbirth
Abortion may be procured to prevent causing unnecessary financial stress for a potential parent. Childbirth and raising a child comes at a high cost, and it would be necessary to avoid further financial burden if the parent cannot be able to cater for such expenses (Greenhouse & Siegel, 2016). The procurement of abortion is preferably a substantial solution to a potential problem.
Financial stress involves the inability to provide for basic needs which includes healthcare, clothing, feeding, and shelter of the child when he or she is born. Abortion acts as a precaution for the extreme consequences of the financial struggles of the mother after childbirth.
Abortion eliminates unwanted pregnancies
Abortion would be vital in the elimination of unwanted pregnancies which are very common. Unwanted pregnancies would lead to more harm than good, and it would be wiser to procure an abortion and reduce the chance of the harm of raising unwanted children (Berer, 2017).
Unwanted pregnancies maybe as a result of rape or irresponsible sexual engagement. In the US, up to 50% of the pregnancies are unintended or unwanted, while 43% ends up in abortion. Abortion thus provides an appropriate mechanism of elimination of such unwanted pregnancy.
Conclusion
In light of all the benefits brought about by abortion, it is inevitable to consider that the rights and liberty to abortion are essential. The rights to abortion are a universal responsibility and must be considered with utmost importance going forward. The choice on abortion should not be condemned as a social wrong since it delivers substantial benefit for the individual and the society at large. Ultimately, abortion has life within the society!
