In the past few weeks, I've been blogging in
Abortion has never won the approval of the majority of the public. The National Opinion Research Center has recorded a numerous amount of polls for the debate of abortion and pro-choice's side has never exceeded 45%. Maybe this doesn't seem like a reason to stop abortion entirely and this doesn't take away the fact that people have legit reasons to have an abortion, but is America not a democracy? What happened to the majority vote? The Roe v. Wade law is going against the political system and the government is doing nothing about it. So isn't it technically illegal already for abortion to be accessible in America?
Another reason why abortion should be restricted is because it's "a house built on sand." It has poor logic, poor history, poor social science, and poor jurisprudence. A few weeks ago, my post supported the argument that women had much to think about before they decide to do an abortion, and they should be trusted to make the right decision on their own. But why was abortion an option in the first place? For the women who didn't want a child? Because they didn't think they were ready? Then why did they take the risk in the first place? One can't simply take a risk knowing the possible consequences and then say they want out when they come up to the worst. Abortion can't be around for women to have the comfort of the last shield of protection from parenthood and make it seem like it's okay to take the life away. Because as I've said before, killing a life is killing a life, no matter how big or small or where it is. And someone must pay the price, and saying "it's not even alive" is not enough to cover up the fact that you did, indeed, make a life inside of you pay your price.
Reflection: This is really hard. I get deeper and deeper into the argument, but I feel like every step I take, there's always something else to bring in that turns the argument around, and it just keeps going in circles. a few weeks ago, I made some arguments that made me really question what I really stood for and what my true values were, but now I'm even more confused because i found some other arguments to counter that. I'm thinking about my final blog post what what I would put in there. Which side would I defend and stand for? How am I going to pick a side? Am I even confident with picking only one side? Is there even a right side? I'm not sure at this point. But even though I have this many questions, I know that I'd rather know everything and be confused rather than not know anything. This is a serious topic that can't be left alone, and everyone must voice their opinion, just like how I'm doing now.
de f ense of abortion and trying to understand the pro-choice point of view, and again, in my book, I've read some other reasons why abortion should be legal. But this week, I want to get back into the opposing side and talk about why abortion should be illegal and restricted.
