History shows that religion and society have twisted, turned and changed according to human whims and fancies, at time for good and at times for worse. But hypocrisy that lies inside human hearts has never yielded to agree on this. There have been numerous such topics till date, which never let us see the truth. A truth that is born on the day we are born, a right to live.

Abortion was legalized in many countries to help women who can’t take care of the child and to reduce to misery of such mothers. Now it has turned so wild that almost one third of pregnant women decide to opt for it. Recently, when the Archbishop Rowan Williams was giving his views on the abortion act in Britain, he said that it’s quite surprising that when abortion was an option for extreme cases, it has turned out to be used for pleasure now a days. Women these days get all sorts of abortive drugs to avoid pregnancy and it has become quite common, people do not have qualms about it. Not forgetting the fact that, the consequence of such acts can’t be ignored.

The story is same in the US also, though the issue has been given more prominence in the states. Teenage pregnancy rate is highest in Britain compared to other countries in Europe. The archbishop thinks that there isn’t enough reformation happening on the front to make people aware of the harder consequence of killing of the human fetus. Though the tightening of legislature could have been an option to reduce the rate of abortions, but indeed without the acceptance of the rights of the unborn, it will never catch the momentum it requires taking abortion as an option rather than a right for pleasure.
