In class this past Thursday we talked about the debate and how abortion was debated among our two wonderful and intelligent presidential candidates. It was a conversation that I wish had never happened because it made me feel sick to my stomach.
In my opinion abortion is a personal opinion. I have always been pro-life but that is my personal opinion. I don't think kids are for everyone and some people don't make the wisest decisions when it comes to having kids. Abortion is good for some people because they aren't fit to be parents but I will always wish that their was a better alternative than abortion that wasn't just adoption.
It is ridiculous for our country to rely on one person to decide this decision for the entire country. Everyone views this topic differently and yet we still take a stand and vote on the issue. Where is the option to completely remove this policy from being a policy? It needs to be a personal decision that is made based on each individual's personal circumstance.
The conversation on Thursday also made me feel sick to my stomach. Abortion is not a conversation I like to talk about. In my past experience, conversations about abortion have only left those involved being in a huge argument and nothing good came from it. I did appreciate how in class we were all willing to listen to each others opinions, respect them, and discuss the issue without getting in a heated argument over abortion.
ReplyDeleteI am personally pro-choice. It is my personal opinion that another person cannot and should not make such a huge decision like that for another person. I also believe that abortions would not stop even if they became illegal, so having laws that allow individuals to get abortions give these people access to places that will safely do the abortion. Saying all this, I completely respect your opinion on the issue, and agree with a lot of what you stated.
I also agree with you that it is unwise to have one person decide a decision for the entire country. That is not democracy, and not how this country should be run.
I completely agree that it should be a personal decision and not one that is made by the government on everyone's behalf. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on it and should be able to do what is best for them and what they feel comfortable with for them. There are so many special cases and it is not a clear situation.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you, it should be a personal choice because no one knows the situation that person is going through. And like another post said not everyone is made to be parents. I was recently talking to a friend how their friend was a mother and how she was unhappy with the entire processes of becoming and being a parent. I personally don't think a child should be in a home where they aren't loved by the parent.
