Recently, abortion increases rapidly and becomes a controversial topic. Some people suppose that abortion should be legal while others are against it. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In these modern times,
women
have the option to terminate unwanted pregnancies. Even so,
abortion
remains taboo in many parts of the world. With the rise of the feminist movement and calls for gender equality, it has become legal in more liberal
countries
, causing an increase in

rates.
However
, in areas where religious beliefs play a huge role in society, it is observed that
abortion
is far from being accessible.
This
essay will explore both points and discuss why it is agreed that
abortion
should be legalized. The #MeToo movement was a feminist triumph. For a long time,
