I chose the topic of abortion because it is often the a controversial topic with politicians or any leader in seek of office.  Your either for or against it pro choice or pro life; my whole thinking on the issue is people need choice’s in their lives, and it just so happens that abortion is one of those choices.  I have seen the pictures of aborted fetus’, I have seen the lengths that women take to abort their unborn child, I have heard about the case of Roe VS. Wade.  Do those facts really affect the reader or do the images traumatize a student looking at it on the internet?  Does all of this really matter in your decision on whether or not you are for or against abortion?  I can’t answer that question for anyone but for myself it really has no affect on me.  Now that might sound that I am a very cold person but when you hear the word abortion it just brings to the table all kinds of issues. 

Another thing that I think some people often forget to look at is the definition of the word “removal of expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by it’s death”.  So if a woman decides to have her embryo’s removed and chrogenically freeze it for another woman to be implanted into, is that an abortion?  If a woman decides to carry the baby and miscarries, is that an abortion?  According to the definition it is, but some people don’t look at that they look at the surgical procedure.

So that leaves this writer to ask herself what exactly I think…  My feelings are as I stated above, abortion is an option that we have in our society.  I am neither for nor against abortions, I feel that if a woman is raped and it is just too much for a woman to bear a child that is a constant reminder of a tragedy then it’s o.k. And then you have these women that trea an abortion like it’s just a regular doctor’s visit 3 and 4 times a month or more in some cases, that is just wrong and a slow way to kill your chances of conceiving in the future.  This topic could go in so many directions, but which one to choose?
