Pro-life or Pro-choice?

There has always been much debate over whether abortion is right or not. Some people believe women can choose to do what they want and others think that it’s wrong no matter what. Everyone has their reasons for why abortion is right or wrong and some people think its okay to have one under certain circumstances.

Those people that support pro-life think that abortion is wrong. Many believe that it is murder to the unborn child, since life begins at conception. Some people think it is wrong because there are ways to prevent the pregnancy from happening. There are contraceptives such as birth control and condoms that can keep a woman from getting pregnant. In the case of a rape, there are other alternatives that will ensure that the woman will not get pregnant. Many women who get abortions are young women who believe that they can’t deal with the situation. These women or girls are afraid to face the consequences so they consequence their unborn child for their actions. This is where a lot of pro-life people don’t think it’s fair. They don’t think its right for an innocent unborn child to deal with someone else’s consequences. Another reason some people think abortion is wrong is because there is an alternative and that is to have an adoption. There are some women who aren’t able to have children and they will adopt so they can have a child. Giving a child up for adoption at least gives them an opportunity to live their life. Some women that get abortions try to make it seem like it’s another form of contraception. It cannot be considered a form of contraception after conception. Many of the young women that decide to have abortions do not fully know what they are doing and it can cause them to be regretful about it later in their lives. Most people that are opposed to abortion are only looking out for the best interest of everyone. They don’t women to have regrets about their decisions and they don’t want their unborn child to lose its life because of their mother’s bad decision. They are also looking out for themselves because they don’t want to pay tax dollars towards abortion if they don’t even believe that it is right. Many Americans are against abortion in the U. S., but there are some people who believe that women should be able to do what they want with their bodies.

People who are pro-choice believe that abortion is okay and that it is not murder if a woman decides to get one. During the first trimester of a pregnancy, the fetus depends on the mother, and therefore some people think that it is not murder since the child cannot exist independently. Most women that do get abortions get them during the first trimester so they think that it is okay to get rid of the fetus. Pro-life and pro-choice people believe that human life begins at conception. The difference is that pro-choice people think that since there are other eggs that are disposed of every month, then it is okay to dispose of the one that got implanted. Unlike pro-life people, pro-choice people think that adoption is not an alternative because most women decide not to give up their child after it is born. Pro-choice people think that young women who decide to have the child will end up in greater stress and regret. These people believe that it is okay for women to get abortions in case their contraceptive didn’t work since abortion is safe alternative. Since women have control over their bodies, pro-choice people don’t think the government can interfere with a woman’s decision.

Personally, I am a pro-life supporter. I think that abortion is wrong no matter what. I believe that it is murder to the unborn child. Most people that are pro-life are judgmental towards those women that have gotten abortions, but I am not. I know a girl who once had an abortion and I was really close friends with her. She said that while she was sitting waiting to get the procedure, she had second thoughts about it, but then it was too late. She has two daughters now and she said she still regrets getting the abortion to this day. The father of her daughters was the father of the child in the abortion. It’s too late for her to take anything back, but she has told me that she would never get the procedure done again. I believe that if a woman thinks that she is not ready to have a child she needs to protect herself any way possible to prevent it from happening. If she does get pregnant, then she needs to face the consequences of her actions because it is not fair to throw away someone else’s life. Abortion is a tough subject and it will always carry much debate. People have their opinions, but it’s good to know how each side feels about the subject.
