Abortion

Abortion is an age old issue that aot of people feel strongly about. Some people feel that it is murder while others feel that it's your right and decision. Now according to the law it is your right and decision to terminate your pregnacy. In the constitution it says that you have a right to privacy. Now privacy is no where mentioned in the Constitution , but the Court argued that it could be inferred from "penumbras" cast off by various provisions of the Bill of Rights. There was a case that made the "right to privacy" famous, in the Roe v. Wade case. It made the decision if a right to privacy is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate a pregnacy. The case had the view that a woman has the first three monthes of the pregancy to abort or terminate the pregnacy. The Court was accused of trying to decide when human life began , at the moment of conception, at the moment of birth, or somewhere in between. Many critics felt that life begins at conception, and so the human fetus is a person entitled to the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. People who felt this way began to use slogans such as "right to life" and "pro-life". But the Court had the view that no one can say for certain when human life begins but what one can say is that a woman is entitled to choose whether or not to have a baby. Then people with those views came up with the slogans "right to choose" and "pro-choice". Well after many trials and struggles the Court in 2007 upheld a law that bans certain kinds of partial birth abortions. The law does not allow an abortion in which the fetus, still alive, is withdrawn until its head is outside the mother and then it is killed. But the law does not ban a late-term abortion if it is necessary to protect the life or physical health of the mother.
    


Now me personally I am completely against abortion. I feel that under no circumstances is it okay to murder your own child. Some people don't like to or want to use the word murder. But truth be told....that's exactly what it is! People want to argue over if it counts as a person or human being. But if people would stop and really listen to themselves they would realize how ridiculous that sounds. We all know that when your pregnant there's a life in your belly and it grows into a a child, teen and adult. This is no secret, everybody knows it but yet people want to act like it's not a "person." But if it's not a person or human being what is it then? I just think that it's wrong on every level. And the abortion rate has increased greatly with the rise in teens getting pregnant, many of them getting abortions to "erase" their mistakes. When really their just making another one, many "mothers" will actually tell you this. There are many people who regret their decision of abortion and have to live with the consequences and emotional scars for the rest of their life. I understand that things happen but I just do not even think abortion is an option. If you do not want your baby there is the option of adoption, which not only helps your sitiuation but fulfills someone else's dreams and wishes of having a child. So this is how I feel about abortion. I have much more I could say about this issue but I'm going to stop now because I can literally go on and on. (:
