This is a war that will never be won. Not while people are still trying to make decision for others.

Abortion is defined as “the premature ending or abandonment of an undertaking”. You can abort a mission or even a task, and then there is the very touchy subject of aborting a pregnancy.
There are many whom are Pro Life and many whom are Pro Choice and many men as well.
I won’t lie. I will openly state that I am Pro Choice on this subject. I believe in a woman’s right to chose what she does or doesn’t do with her body. I would never go through with the procedure myself as there are many families out there who can not have children that are very deserving of them. But, I would never hold it against somebody if they had one or said that they were going to. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and choices.
I do agree that there are many situations that arise where a woman may come to this decision. Be it that she feels obligated to due to family pressure, possibly she was a victim of rape, whatever the reason may be, she feels she is in the right position to make this decision and that it is the correct one. There are also people whom have made this decision thinking that it is the right thing to do and then regretted it afterwards.
A lot of the debate in regards to this subject stems from whether life begins at conception or at birth. There’s no way to deny that life begins at conception. Birth, is when a child is born, and you can most certainly feel that child moving months before it makes his/her way into the world. For those who believe that life begins at birth, I can only assume that you have never been pregnant, because you can not deny something that you can feel dancing around inside of you.
There are groups who want to make this procedure illegal. I can’t possibly understand why. As I stated before, I would never have it done, but if a friend of mine decided that abortion was her only option I would want her to be able to go to a licensed doctor in a sterilized facility rather than back to in the previous days when anyone is a back alley with a rusty coat hanger could perform the procedure. That’s how people get infections and die.
We fight for equality and a woman’s right to choose, and we are still bombarded with men and woman trying to tell us what we can or can’t do to our own bodies. Yes, I understand that there is another human inside that body, but it’s not yours to make decisions for.
This is a never ending war. It will go on and on and on until the end of time. It’s the same as everything else. You can’t have everybody be happy. I just don’t understand why people can’t let people make their own decisions.

“I believe in a woman’s right to chose what she does or doesn’t do with her body.”
This is what I cannot understand. Does a woman have two hearts? Four legs and four arms? No. The baby is a separate human being inside the mother’s womb. The baby is not the mother’s body as stated above. Who is going to protect the unborn child?
“Yes, I understand that there is another human inside that body, but it’s not yours to make decisions for.”
…so the mother has authority to kill her child? That is exactly what abortion is. Killing something that is living, thriving, and in a few months or even weeks, could live outside the womb.
This is one of the ugliest parts of our society and it breaks my heart that precious babies die everyday, because people think that murder is OK, as long as the baby is still inside the womb.
I didn’t say that it wasn’t murder. I belive stating that I am personally against it as there are so many people out there that want a child and aren’t able to have them that I would choose adoption, but at the same time I’m not going to force my views on any other person. I am a mother and I love my son dearly. No, I wasn’t trying to have a child at the time, but I would never ask for anything different as he is my world.
