I know
abortion is a really touchy subject. I get it. It’s controversial and it’s a
topic many people just don’t agree on. And that’s why I am going to try my best
to be PC and as respectful as possible while writing this.
I
think we can all agree, whether ‘Pro-Choice’ or ‘Pro-Life’, that making a
decision about abortion is not a situation that anyone wants to be in or go
through. It’s already a difficult personal decision, without bombarding that
person with a billion opposing views.
I’m sure
that most people would like to avoid that issue all-together, if they could. Unfortunately,
because of the nature of life, its an issue that we do have to deal with. It
has moral, legal, and life altering repercussions.
I think
we can all agree that we all have the right as human beings to have different opinions, values and moral standards.
Right? And we
all have the right to use all of those aspects of our personalities to make decisions
in our lives.
Our
freedom to do as we please ends when we infringe on another person’s rights.
Therefore, killing another living human being wouldn’t be within our
rights.
And once
again I already know the opposing view’s argument, ‘what about the unborn
baby’s rights?’ but let me stop you right there.
We can
spend all day and all night debating the technicality of life: whether it
starts when the sperm and the egg meet, or whether it’s at the first trimester
or when the baby takes its first breathe.I know
there is no right answer here. I think we can all agree that there is no
perfect answer to all of this. Regardless
of how I feel about abortion, what I can’t fathom is how I could ever make a
decision about someone else’s egg and sperm, and make a decision, for them about
what can or can’t occur inside of that woman’s womb. This woman has her own set
of experiences, beliefs and circumstances the rest of us know nothing about.
How can I make a decision about her?
Plain and simple: I can’t.
That
being said, I think that for anyone who is ‘Pro-life’, it is in COMPLETELY AND
TOTALLY in their right to never get an abortion because it does not fit within
their own sets of values. That’s more than fine, it’s their right as humans.
They get to choose because it’s their life, their body. But what
I just don’t get…what I just can’t process, is people who go around telling
others what they ought, can or can’t do within their own body in their own
life.
“Hey you!
I’m going to tell you what can or can’t occur inside of your own body, even
though I do not know you nor will I ever know you personally.”
What I
like about ‘Pro-Choice’ is that it’s exactly that: A CHOICE.
‘Pro-Choice’
does not equal DEATH. It equals freedom to choose whatever is best for you
because there is no conceivable way that I, nor you, could know what is best
for every woman in the world.
So what
do I think about abortion?
I think
its well within a woman’s right to get an abortion done under any CIRCUMSTANCE.
I mean if you put yourself in the
same predicament (having unprotected sex) over and over and over again, then
that is really by far the most stupid decision you could ever make. But there is a reason
why legal abortions exist after all, to help even woman who've fallen pregnant against their wishes i.e rape and don't wish to keep the fetus. I don’t believe that the doctors and
nurses who conduct abortions see it as ‘murder’ because that would totally go
against their career choice and morale attached to it.
" If your not ready to have a child,
then you're not. And if you don't wanna carry it and then give it away, then so
be it. I mean some snakes eat their own eggs; thats just nature. We are
nature, we are no different. " - Khotso Zihle
