understand something: why is abortion considered a decision that woman are privileged to make because "it's their own body"? Maybe this is coming from my catholic background, but I just don't see how it's only the body of the woman being involved; the life and creation of a body has already begun at conception, so how is it any less worthy to take into consideration than the woman it's being carried by? The unborn child has the right to take a chance at life and let's face it: killing a life, out of the womb or still growing inside, is still killing a life, which is something I think people began to forget. But not everybody believes that the fetus isn't considered a living |
Reflection: As a reader, I was challenged because for one thing, there were a lot of sentences that just didn't make sense to me, but also because I was having a continuous debate in my mind with new ideas and opinions popping up in my mind, since this it such a sensitive topic. I just read in my bed, and I am enjoying my book: seeing different sides of this competitive argument and their stronger arguments makes me see why it's been going on for so long in such a large amount of people. I noticed the author was very unbiased, as he summarized the main points of the argument and why people thought that way. This was effective because it makes one be more open-minded about the topic and the arguments about the other side, which I think people need to do more often these days. Honestly, I'm just reading and blogging my thoughts and opinions about the parts in my reading schedule. No other work.
