TBF: Abortion
This has been one of the greatest social debates of the last 100 years, the end result of passion, the end result of love, sometimes the end result of booze, drugs and unfortunately sometimes the end result of rape....
There lies the end result, often considered a blessing and often considered an accident, this freedom to choose is both a powerful choice and a controversal one, so we'll attempt to tackle it.
We tackle on The Brian Factor...... Abortion
Over the course of the history of abortion, induced abortions have been a source of considerable debate and controversy regarding the morality and legality of this practice. An individual's position on the complex ethical, moral, philosophical, biological, and legal issues have a strong relationship with that individual's value system. A person's position on abortion may be best described as a combination of their personal beliefs on the morality of abortion, and that person's beliefs on the ethical scope and responsibility of legitimate governmental and legal authority. Another factor for many individuals is religious doctrine
Abortion debates, especially pertaining to abortion laws, are often spearheaded by advocacy groups belonging to one of two camps. Most often those in favor of legal prohibition of abortion describe themselves as pro-life while those against legal restrictions on abortion describe themselves as pro-choice. Both are used to indicate the central principles in arguments for and against abortion: "Is the fetus a human being with a fundamental right to life?" for pro-life advocates, and, for those who are pro-choice, "Does a woman have the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion?"
Often times the debate focuses on sub targets, most notably when the fetus qualifies as a person and weither a woman even has a choice if she gets pregnant, since conservatives rule with over two thirds control in our government, many have been pushing the issue of pro life laws that would outlaw abortion, prevent the possibility of abortion occurring til after it's biologically too late to abort, and remove all life and death decisions from women in general.
In my opinion, I do believe that women have the right to choose. Everyone has different dreams, everyone has a different life, I know people who can have children but don't want to, and vice versa, recently a friend of mine found out she was pregnant and was overjoyed by the news, people want to live their lives, and of course this includes women. There's no doubt that an abortion is a life altering decision, and I won't lie in saying that any woman going through that process is putting herself through so much, physical, emotional, and even spiritual truma, that if they elect to go through it then they should be allowed to do so.
To become a mother is considered to be one of the greatest feelings in the world, to be responsible for creating life is without question one of the most amazing things about life itself, but the truth is that some people can't handle it, or find out that their unborn child is stricken with numerous health problems and other life threatening aliments, or some women are the victims of rape that result in a pregnancy that the mother couldn't bring herself to bring to term, thus abortion would be used.
Usually I have some direct answer to these columns, something logical and that works for both sides, but in this debate there's too many specifics to decide, but I can say this, every case is different, every woman is different, always see it all from all the angles, don't pick the sides by absolution, the circumstances are different each and everytime. So to those who don't know what to do, just trust your heart... it's your choice.
