Okay, so for my first actual blog post I want to talk about something real. What's your thoughts about abortion? Do you think abortions should be illegal? Personally I think they should be the choice of the mother. I'm not just saying that because I'm a girl, or maybe that's exactly why I'm saying it. I believe that abortions should be a choice because you don't know why she's having the abortion. She could have been raped and doesn't want a constant reminder of that horrible thing that happened to her, or maybe she wants to keep the child because she doesn't want too punish them just because of how awful their father is. Or maybe she's addicted to drugs and it'd be better for her not to try and bring the baby to term because that's putting the child at risk for the rest of their lives. Maybe she's just not ready and adoption isn't an option for her. Or maybe she has serious health diffuculties and trying to bring a baby to term could kill both her and the child. My point is, who's to tell a woman she isn't allowed to terminate her pregnancy! It's her pregnancy. Whatever reason she has for not having the child is her choice, and no one has the right to take that away from her. I know that people could argue that it's "hurting the child", but it's not. You can only have an abortion before a certain amount of time, before they develop enough to even have thoughts, let alone feel. So again, what are your thoughts? I'd love to know and maybe discuss.
