I AM DONE FOR THIS SEMESTER!
Okay, just because I finished it, I thought I would post my abortion essay. Please do not flame for the sake of flaming, but you are more than welcome to offer critiques, suggestions, or whatever

One thing I do want to point out, however:
Abortion save lives. From all outer aspects, those ideas could not be more dissimilar. In a culture where abortion is an “immoral” choice and women who elect to have them are considered murders, many overlook this one simple question - can abortion do more harm than good?
I don't think our society, as a whole, sees abortion as immoral. Yes, Christians and other religious groups may, but if the majority of our society found it to be murder in all circumstances, would it still be legal?
I think, if anything, people find it distasteful at worst if a woman has an abortion for no good reason ("Oops! I had consensual unprotected sex with my boyfriend and now I'm pregnant. Better get an abortion so this doesn't mess with my plans.")
However, I think society at large finds abortion to be infinitely more acceptable if a woman is raped or if the child is a product of incest.
As far as most of society sees it, a woman's body is her body and she can do whatever the hell she wants with it.
That's all.
