The Abortion Issue

[olpluvr]

Abortion Issue:

1. No one should tell a woman that she has to/ should/ can’t have an abortion.
2. A fetus is a living being- to take a life is immoral and should be illegal.

What is the right to life? Can we kill someone in self- defense? Does a fetus have rights?

1. What is a person?

A thing is a person to the degree that it:

1. Can feel pleasure and pain

if abortion wasnt legal for people who are too stupid to protect themselves we would find A) A lot of back alley abortions with bad outcomes and B) a whole lot of unwanted children without homes. yeah sure people will want the babies at first but what about when everyone has enough and how can we as a society provide for the million kids that are going to be our responsibility ? Look at Romania. Russia. Ukraine. banning abortion is in some ways the same as banning birth control like in Romania. so tell me what do we do with all these parentless children? and dont tell me that a life, no matter how terrible is better than none at all. I have SEEN the life of an orphan up close and personal and it isnt nice. I wouldnt want that for my child if I got pregnant and couldnt provide for a child.

so they have the choice to use contraception but not to decide their future and the future of any potential child they may conceive....ps birth control is not failproof so even if they are responsible they could end up with an unwanted pregnancy. and why should a select few decide what is best for everyone else? there is waaaaay too much government in our life as it is, and abortion is just one more thing they can control. it is MY body and I should have all rights to my body and do with it what I please.

yes it comes back to my choices be they good or bad, but shouldnt I be allowed to make those choices for myself?
