Two Lives or Just one.

Abortions. Yes, this entry is about abortions. As sensitive of a subject it is, it comes up. There are so many views and opinions about this topic that people choice to avoid discussing it but we talked about it in class. As we discussed in class no one really likes the idea of an abortion. No one really says “Hey I like abortions and think every woman should have one.”  If any one says that they need to rethink their whole life and the meaning of it.

            The two main categories you hear of are pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-choice basically says that a woman has a choice that if an abortion was needed or if she wanted to get one she could obtain one. With pro-life they basically want to do away with them because they feel that no matter what the fetus is still human. There are some many gray areas when it comes to this subject but I can say that I and pro-choice.  I feel that a woman has every right to do what she pleases and no one should have control over that. When it comes to abortions I know that sometimes they are needed. Sometimes a woman finds out that her body is capable of bearing a child, some find out that the baby might have a sickness or some sort or if the woman has been raped and was impregnated from it.

            Now, here’s the problem that I have, before I state this let me say that these are my points of view and I’m not trying to push them on anyone. This is just how I feel about them.  Now we all know what unprotected sex can lead too. One of these is a woman becoming pregnant. Some people choose to have unprotected sex knowing that this can be one of the results. I can honestly say I’m not favorable of abortions when women are getting them just because they decided not to be careful. I know of a young woman who has had three abortions and says she will continue to get them if she keeps getting pregnant. I asked her why doesn’t she just have protected sex and her response is because I don’t want too.  My sister lost my nephew at five months. She was devastated. It hurt me because that was/is my only nephew. I tell you that to say this, its some women that cant have children, their bodies wont allow them but then you have women out here that are “careless” and when the problem arises they say “oh well I will get an abortion.”

            Like I stated earlier this is just how I feel about them, I’m not attacking women by any means its just I feel there is some unfairness to women who cant bare children when the ones who can are getting rid of them.
