Self-Analysis

I have come a long way as a thinker and a writer when it comes to the topic of abortion. I started off by just knowing some basics facts on what abortion is. But over these past few weeks and after all of the research i have done about abortion, my knowledge about has grown immensely. I have learned about both sides of the argument on if abortion should be legal or illegal and if you are pro choice or pro life. I started off believing in pro choice and have stuck with that being my choice, but i have looked at being pro life to see what possibilities that can bring and to see why people feel that being pro life is a better decision than pro choice. I learned that being pro life saves many lives and preserves women of having to go through such a horrible procedure that being an abortion. It also prevents women of having the possible mental scars of giving up your child. Many women can experience depression as one of the side effects after an abortion.

On the other side, being pro choice many people criticize because they feel as your "murdering" a human, but is it really a human? People all have different beliefs when a fetus is considered a human. That is all it is, peoples opinion, there is no scientific evidence to prove when a fetus is considered human, just when it comes out of the mothers womb is when it should be called a human being because thats when it is finally separated from the mother and can survive on its own without the help of the mothers womb to support its life. The roman catholic churches along with the bible state that they are totally against a women having a abortion because it goes against everything they believe in and what GOD believes in. Another point that needs to be made is that it should be up to the women and ONLY the women. The federal government needs to have no involvement in this debate, they will only just make things more complicated.

This blog is focused on the seperation of church and state. This topic can have alot of controversy because people have different views and beliefs about the church and state. America was built on having people all from different religious beliefs and backgrounds as so the writer states in her blog. But the writer does a great job of discussing what the difference is between church and state and how our country is still run by peoples religious beliefs because no one can take that away.

This blog focuses on lowering the drinking age to 18. The writer does a good job on arguing why this is a good idea. One reason that he states that penalties for people caught drunk driving would be substantialy increased than from what they are today. So that might keep people from driving drunk. This is a good blog to read because of the argument it presents. There are alot of people out there that believe the drinking age needs to be lowered and this writer does a wonderful job on explaining why.
