Abortion in Texas
Abortion is one of the most controversial issues of today's society. Defined as, “the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus prior to viability”, abortion has sparked violent confrontations between two separate parties of opinion.

She makes the decision to not keep the baby because it’s the baby of the guy that raped her. Pro-choice supporters have sympathy towards these women while she gets called a murderer by pro-life supporters. Anti-abortionist takes a “pro-life” position. Most of these supporters have a religious background and they do not believe in abortion and believe that it should be illegal and that it is an act of murder. These anti-abortion supporters use violence, stalk, and kill women who have decided to have an abortion and even some times forcing the women to have the baby.
Even though some pro-lifers use the excuse that religion seizes their opportunity to support abortion, it may be surprising to learn that catholic women are 29% more likely to get an abortion than Protestant women.

For example, Buddhist viewpoint is “If the unborn child will be retarded or if the birth will create serious problems for the parent, these cases where there can be an exception.” Judaism point of view presents that an abortion can occur “if the mother’s life was in danger.” Some Protestant denominations believe that abortions can be morally
