The Voice of Choice
The definition of abortion is; “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus.” The abortion controversy is one of the biggest debates that have been going on for years. Many people feel that aborting an unwanted child should be outlawed. Others consider it as immoral and possibly even murder. I support the right to privacy and the idea women should have the choice to do what she pleases with her own body. As a female, I believe that the government has no right to dictate what happens to a woman’s body. Therefore, everyone should become pro-choice.
Majority of people who are against abortion will never even become pregnant. Women have the right to own their bodies and make their decisions for it, not the government. If we allow the government control the choices that women makes on abortion, then how long will it be until the government control other personal decisions? 77% of the he pro-life leaders consist of men who will never experience the agony of labor, childbirth, or a C-section. Men cannot continue pushing women down and limiting their rights like this. Telling a woman she cannot have an abortion is like telling a man he cannot have a liver transplant. Both are necessary procedures. Without the procedure it can pose a physical threat. And sometimes people are responsible for their condition. He has the right to seek medical attention. Why should an abortion be any different? The government should not dictate people 's judgments and resolutions to their problems
Odds are that 1 in 3 women will be victims of sexual violence in her lifetime. Does this mean that 33% of all women should be forced to carry out a pregnancy from this violation? Considering how many people are killed during childbirth, should we allow this further risk to endured on top of what has already been done? Many would argue
