There are two views on abortion, is it wrong because its murder, and ends a human life that didn’t get a chance. Or perhaps in the environmentalist view, each human life takes a toll on nature. Some believe humans aren’t beneficial to earth in any way and all they do is take resources and mess up the atmosphere with pollution. Regarding the issue on whether abortion is right or wrong, we can look at the religious point of view that believe that abortion is a sin in the eyes of god and perceived as murder of innocent human being. Or we can also look at it in a scientist, who that abortion is more of necessary evil because the only thing human being do is destroy the environment and there’s way too many human being on this planet than the planet resources can provide for. I see both perspectives although harsh both sides have valid points as to why abortion can be ok or wrong. According to, In Reproductive choices: The Ecological Dimensions by Zoe Hawkins, it is stated that there is a strong correlation between environmental degradation and population growth. Hawkins brings up social class and  how women of lower classes may have more kids because they don’t have the means to attain the things necessary to prevent it. Hawkins believes the human population needs to be limited in order to preserve our ecosystem and prevent any further damage.Hawkins affirmed that; “ the environmental toll taken by each new human born within the developed world will be very much greater than that of one born elsewhere. By the same token, those of us living in industrialized nations can lower our overall destructive effect on the natural environment both by reducing the amount and nature of our consumption and by reducing the number of us that consume the planet’s precious resources”(692). Hawkins believe that higher abortion rates brings down the united states toll therefore preserving resources and regulating the amount of things we take from our environment. Hawkin also states that “abortion plays an important role in limiting the ecologically damaging effects of the human population in all parts of the globe”(692). Hawkin boldly affirms that abortion’s are effectively regulating how much resources we are utilizing and preventing too many people being on earth, basically advocating for population control. My stance on all of this is neutral, I can’t say one particular side is right compared to the other, because the facts presented are supported and make sense from both views. Ecofeminism is in the stance of pro choice and I think that is where I stand on all this. No matter if some people view it as wrong or right, it is the women’s choice to make a decision that will permanently affect her body and not only that, having a child is a lifelong commitment if you aren’t going to be a committed parent it’s best to not put a child through a life of suffering.
