Who should decide: Woman or Government
This helps go along with my decision of being pro choice. All women should have a say in whether or not they should have a child or not. Thats why i think it should be up to them and only them to decide. The government should not play a role in this choice. They should help support the womens decisions and help guide them through this time in their life. Thats why in this website, it talks about whether women should have the right to keep or child or get an abortion and why the government needs to stay out of their business

Issues on Abortion
My issues on abortion are as followed. There are two sides to every story, and the two sides in the debate over abortion is that you can be pro-life of pro-choice. Abortion is done worldwide, it is not just happening around here, even though most countries around the world see abortion as illegal and if caught you will be punished. I am pro-choice because i feel that you should have the choice to do whatever you feel like doing. Like in the constitution, it says that everyone has their own freedoms like freedom of speech. But even that has a limit. You cannot say fire in a movie theater full of people, but why should a women have to keep a child if she does not want it? Who should get to decide this, the women or the government? Abortions happen in 15-40 percent of all pregnancies. Whether it is a induced pregnancy or if it is a misscarrage it still happens and we can not do anything about it. Abortions can be done in two stages, either in the first trimester(up to twelve weeks) or the second trimester(from thirteen to twenty four weeks).
Having an induced abortion is usually non painful in most cases, but abortions can be done without surgery, there are pills that you can take as well and get the same effect. If you do not even want to get this far, after you have unprotected sex and are in fear that you will become pregnant, there is the emergency contraception pill you can take within 72 hours after having sex. Women can also take birth control to help prevent becoming pregnant. Abortion should be done correctly in a safe environment. This can not always be done in countries with a low income. A lot of people have been known to do abortions in alleyways and sometimes in their own home. This is not very safe and leads to a lot of deaths because the operation is not done correctly. Around 219 women die each day from illegal abortions. There are about 46 million abortions per year throughout the world. People have even compared abortion deaths and war deaths. The civil war had about 400,000 deaths, and since 1973, there has been about 35 million deaths from abortions.
Some women may need counseling after going through such a big decision in their life. Thats ok, there are many clinics throughout the world that are there just for that reason, to help guide them through and in some cases can even talk them out of having an abortion. Women have been known to go through some tough psychological effects of having an abortion and some studies have found long term stress found up to five years later. But many women are able to overcome this and move on in life. Women may ask the doctors if having an abortion is safe. The answer is yes, if it is done within the first twelve weeks, its very minor surgery and the whole procedure takes about five minutes.
The churches have their own position on abortion. The Roman Catholic Church has been totally against the legalization of abortion and have even gone to congress and stated that they do not believe in abortion. They feel that it is murder and some have found in the bible that it is a "grave evil" to do such a thing to an innocent human before it has the chance to defend itself.
People can argue as much as they like about abortion, but what it comes down to is whether or not the state and federal government agree. In most states, for example in the south are against abortion and in the east they feel either or is correct so they are in the middle. I think that it should be up the federal government to decide nationally if abortion should be legal or illegal and should not be left up to the states. Just like we vote for the president, we should be able to vote on whether abortion is legal or illegal.

Abortion and the Churches
Abortion and the churches have never been on the same page. The church believes that abortion is "grave evil" and they also feel that it is murder on something that never has a chance to defend itself. But do you really think it should have a chance to defend itself? Thats why i think that it is up to the mother to be able to make that choice on her own and choose if the child should live or if it should be destroyed? That is my question to the audience: What do you think should be done and how do you feel about mothers having the choice to play god and decide if something should live or die?

Yes bob marley makes a good point. If you are pro life it does limit your freedom as an american. You are not able to make a choice in your that is a HUGE decision. You are bringing another human being into the world and that child needs love and care. If you can not support it then, you should have the choice on whether to keep it or not. That is why pro-life is not a good side to be on.
Well hearth35, since you say women are so indecisive then they just need to step up and face the fact that they are having a child. And whether they can care for that child should be up to them, not the law. They are an adult and can make choices on their own, and do not need people like the government making choices for them. It is something that needs to be done on her own.

My View on Abortion
Abortion is a very debatable topic in todays world. People beliefs are either pro life or pro choice. I am pro choice because i feel that it is up to the women to decide if she should keep the baby or get rid of it. If the baby is going to grow up in a nasty environment or would not have the right life of that of a normal baby, then the women should know that and do the right thing by giving it up for adoption or just killing the baby before it is ever born. Thats just my opinion on this topic.
