Abortion

Liberals believe in pro-choice. They think that the government shouldn't have control over a woman's body and that women should be able to make this personal choice for themselves. People will do what they want regardless of whether abortion is legal, such as drinking too much to kill the baby or using a hanger to physically kill the baby, so abortion should be legalized so it can be done safely. When someone is raped, they didn't give conscent, and if they get pregnant, they should be able to have an abortion. On the other hand, conservatives believe in pro-life. They think people have to take responsibility for their actions and that if they get pregnant, they have to deal with the consequences. They think it is morally wrong to kill a baby through abortion- abortion is murder because even cells are living. They believe in other options besides abortion if the mother cannot raise the baby in a safe environment, such as adoption.
I believe in pro-choice. I think that abortion is a woman's choice and that the government shouldn't be able to impact it. I think that abortion needs to be legalized because women are going to extremes to have unsafe abortions. I thought it was really interesting and shocking that Romania has the highest death rate and 87% of them are from illegal abortions. I think that abortion is a good option because people make mistakes.
