Abortion

            Another hot issue out there right now is the topic of abortion. Both sides try to make their arguments as to why it should be illegal or legal for a woman to get an abortion. Both sides have a very long list of points they try to make. Personally I'm all for making abortions legal within reason.
           One side says that you shouldn't be allowed to abort a fetus no matter how small it is. Some has even gone as far as trying to say that they should get rid of the Plan B pill or even birth control pills. The reason for getting rid of these pills is that "they are a poison to the body". Why would you want to get rid of a way that a woman tries to prevent pregnancy because they feel they aren't ready for a child? We don't need more reasons as to why so many children are in foster homes or even live in orphanages waiting for a nice couple to adopt them. I understand where they say that a life is a life no matter how small. If you become pregnant because you chose to have sex unprotected then you should at least carry the baby to term. I'm sure there is a very good couple out there that are looking to adopt a new born baby. It's not the best feeling in the world giving up a baby but I say that's better to do than not even give the child a chance. It's better even if you weren't ready in the first place to take care of a child.
            On the other side there is the people that say that it should be legal because it is the woman's body and she should be allowed to do what she choose to it. Just like everyone has the right to do what they want to their body from tattoos all the way to plastic surgery a woman has the right to do what she wants to her body. Personally I believe that a woman should be allowed to have an abortion after traumatic incidents like rape. Would you ever want you child knowing that their life was created from an act of violence? Would they want your child to know that their father was someone who is not only a criminal but a monster? In a way I feel that it's similar to thinking about having children knowing that you carry a disease that is hereditary  I've even seen stories and video of those protesting abortion clinics harassing those that go in. I don't feel that this ever the best approach to trying to get people to hear your message. You're only portraying yourself as a bully and bigot when you harass someone walking in to an abortion clinic. For all you know they aren't even going in for the reason you're accusing them off. When a woman's baby that she is carrying actually dies in the woman they have to an abortion clinic to remove the dead fetus. These I personally feel are legitimate reasons to have an abortion.   
            I see where each side of the argument of abortion has it's good reasons but telling someone they have no say in what they can do to their body is wrong. Just allow a person to actually make up their own mind with what they do with their body.
