A lot of people feel that abortion shouldn't be a political topic and I can see where they're coming from, but at the same time it needs to be something disscussed among all citizens and everyone should have an opinion on it. Personally, I never really had an opinion up until recently on the topic. My uncle's fiance had an abortion about five months ago because they found out the child was going to have down syndrome. Although I understand why they did it, I was still very disgusted by their choice. I feel that every human life deserves to live whether they will have problems or not.
As for the presidential candidates, Govenor Romney is pro-life meaning he is against abortion and President Obama is pro-choice meaning he feels it is the women's choice on whether she should get an abortion. Its pretty easy to see who I agree with. I understand that President Obama wants every women to have the choice to have an abortion and I think he's right to some extent. If a women was raped or, like with my uncle and his finace, the couple finds out the child will have special needs, then I think it is ok to get an abortion. However, I know there are some women who use abortions as a form of birth control and I think that is just uncalled for and disgusting. It's like saying you're too lazy to use other forms of birth control.
Although both candidates make good points, I feel that I agree with Govenor Romney more in that I am pro-life. No child deserves to die even if they are still inside the womb.
I agree with your points,and i agree with Obama because women should have a choice however the choice shouldnt be because of an accident
ReplyDeleteInteresting points and argument,I also agree that abortion should not be used because someone was not intelligent enough to effectively use birth control during consensual sex.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both sides on this issue. It should be the woman's choice, but they shouldn't abort a baby just because the baby is going to have down syndrome. That is sad, and I think every baby deserves a chance to live. I agree with you though I am more with Romney on this issue because every baby deserves to live even if the mother doesn't keep the baby. The baby can always be adopted and go to a loving family. Great post Lucy!
ReplyDeletei understand and agree with you my high school i knew a lot of immature kids in school that where just dirty girls who would always speak about if they had a baby they abort it which kind of discuss me and shows how much responsibility they have, very different from your case you spoke of but i think this is the one topic i agree with governor Romney also; awesome post!
