Life or Death, Either Way You Don't Get To Decide

In this blog my focus will be on the issue of rather having an abortion is the right or wrong thing to do and whether it should even be a legal option. In the argument of whether abortion is right or wrong there are two types of people, people who are pro-life and think abortion is strictly wrong, or pro-choice who accept that abortion is a right left up to the specific person and their situation. Although some pro-choice followers believe it should only be used as a last resort. In the court case Roe v. Wade, decided in 1973, approved that abortion was a constitutional right to privacy protected by the constitution. This was a very important case because it legalized abortion. On April 27, 2010, Oklahoma signed a law requiring women to recieve an ultrasound before having an abortion so they could have a detailed decription of the limbs, fetus's heart, and organs. I personally feel that abortion should be a choice but only if it it life threatning. Killing a baby without its consent is just as bad as murdering another human. You have no idea what that baby could do for mankind in the future. Killing a baby is not a choice that should be choosen so loosely and without awareness of what they are actually doing, so I agree with Oklahoma and making women recieve an ultrasound before they abort a baby because maybe then they can rethink their decision and choose a better one. Instead of making abortion a care free decision we should think of alternatives. What else can I do in order to have this baby and let it have a good life. So my question to you is whether you think abortion is a good decision or alternative to not wanting a baby? You can only decide this on your own. In conclusion I feel that taking away a baby's life is also taking away it's decision making process and i'm sure if it had a choice to die, it would not approve of these conditions.



This video shows a pro-life's opinion on abortion and how a simple adoption could save the life of a baby's future children and their whole generation.


This picture represents a woman's choice to either abort her baby or to keep it by representing her body, her mind, so her choice.



This video shows our President Barack Obama displaying his opinions on abortion. He believes that abortion should be a choice but to a certain extent. Like abortion should be only allowed through a certain time but anytime after it should not be allowed. He also believes that we can reduce abortions by providing women with the right type of fincial aids, healthcares, and etc.

  1. I personally think that abortions are a good decision but many people take advantage of it. No, i am not saying killing babies are good, but if it is for a good cause then i would agree. For example, if someone was raped and did not want to live with the thought of what had happened to them, i would agree with getting an abortion. On the other hand, if someone was no being cautious and ended up pregnant i would not agree because of the fact that they could have been more careful. I guess i feel as if whether a person would like to have a baby or get an abortion is thier choice but to a certain extent.

  2. I personally don’t understand why others feel they have a right to control what any female, american citizen, in their right mind choses to do with her life. They can make books and theories, prevention methods, and teach classes that explain how much a child at the wrong time can mess up your life, but when you mess up they want to take away your choice to somewhat help the situation. I think its so stupid and I personally am Pro-choice. I do feel that women should be more continuous of the choices they make,a and they shouldn't always just resort to abortion, but in certain cases I feel they should have a choice.

  3. I don't think I am pro-choice or pro-life, but I think that whether a person should get an abortion or not depends on the situation. For example, if a young child is raped, they should not have to go through the agony of childbirth. On the other hand, if a person decides to make bad choices and ends up pregnant, I think there should be regulations on whether they can get an abortion or not. I, personally, believe that the main reason a woman should get an abortion is if they are not physically able to carry the child healthily.
