I have been thinking this past week alot about the right that women have to choose. Either be pro-life or pro-choice. Personally i am strongly pro-choice, but i do not argue with people who are pro-life. I like to see both side of peoples views, but they wont change mine.
I know many people argue that abortion is murder, and that is a hard subject to handle. But at the same time if someone has never been put in the situation, they would just never understand how hard of a choice it truly is. Adoption is also a great option. My Brother was adopted into my family before i was born and he is the closest to me out of all of my siblings.
sooo i googled pro choice.

i found this article, telling how abortion has now been pushed into the political race and has become a hot topic. I agree that abortion and a women's right to choose is a huuuge issue in the political race, the views of the candidates about this issue was one of my first deciding factors of who i wanted to vote for. The one things that always bothers me though when talking about Sarah Palin is how people seem to make her a "saint" because she did not abort her baby even after finding out it would have Down Syndrome. good for her she chose to keep her baby, but i personally saw this as a way of her to be a more likable person in a political sense. So what if her child has a disability? should we really praise her for not getting rid of him.
It also bothered me that Palin did not agree with abortion even in the case of Rape or Incest. those are two things i believe abortion should be an option in.

I am also strongly believe that the government should not decide if a women should be aloud to have an abortion or not. It is a women's choice, not the governments. Yes, they should get rid of dirty back ally abortion clinics and make sure they are clean and safe so women are not hurt and mangled after the surgery. But a womens choice and the right to privacy is a most.
Let me explaine what Roe v. Wade is, so you can better understand the last article i posted.
Roe v. Wade was a decision made by the supream court that legalized abortion. Laws against abortion in the states vilated the right to privacy under the due process cause. Thus Roe yv. Wade says a mother can have her fetus aborted is the fetus is not visable, aka can not live outside of hte mothers body.
i know this is kind of a rough post, and i hope i dont get bashed for my beliefs this week.

I also think that people should have the choice. I think that there are some situations where is would just be a bad situation for a baby to be born. But I also think that people shouldn't use abortion as a form of birth control. I also don't think that Palin should have been praised for keeping her baby with Down Syndrome, I don't think that a baby having a disability is a good reason for abortion.
Of course nobody is going to bash you for your beliefs! I'm personally pro-life in most circumstances (except in cases of rape and incest) but I respect that you feel so strongly about this particular issue. I personally feel the fetus is growing and has living tissues and make-up inside the mother, so I consider abortion a form of abortion. I just don't feel right about depriving my fetus the right to life. But again, I can totally respect your opinion on this issue. I don't necessarily know if I believe abortion should be ILLEGAL... I mean, no, I don't think it's right in most cases, but taking away abortion clinics are not going to prevent women from seeking abortions. I think it's better that clean facilities are available than to have women sneak into nasty std-infested clinics.
I consider abortion a form of murder*** lol sorry about the typ-o
