Abortion

Abortion is a hot topic and probably one of the most of the debated. The pro-life (usually Conservative and/or Republican) believe that one's life is his or her own property, and the mother who is bearing the child shouldn't take that away. On the other side, the pro-choice (usually Democratic and/or Liberal) believe that a child is not actually a child until it is born, and that the choice to abort the child or not is in the hands of the mother or father.

One of the main points that should be made, is that pro-choice or pro-life, abortion is still going to happen. The only difference is that honest people wouldn't go get aborted, because the only abortion clinics would be underground and thus inaccessible or not wantable for most. but, those that choose to go will most likely be greeted by unsafe conditions and dangers to health. While, in regulated abortion clinics it's regulated and controlled so that it's safe.

Another factor that should be taken into consideration is that many unaborted children are to drift in and out of foster homes until(if) they are adopted. Not exactly a pleasurable experience, though to judge if it's worth more than to have never existed is another mater entirely. To be honest, in a competition between the two evils - never existing or to never having a home - The one that is the most horrendous is questionable and will never be known. It is either the child's decision which wouldn't be known because the child has not... well, been born yet. (Besides, a child's reasoning abilities are often warped in nature and varies depending on their mood).

In the end, the decision is best left in the hand of the mother and/or father. I personally don't feel strongly one way or the other - but a mother or father is sure to.
