Pro-Choice

I recently read a newspaper article in the Panther this week about groups of students from our school going to the Walk for Life in D.C. This go me thinking about my own opinions about abortion. For me, I think that for having the option of an abortion is a fundamental right that women should have. It is her body, no one else can tell her what she can do with it. If a women didn't want to have an abortion because of her religious beliefs, then that is her right. But it is also the right of other women to have to option of abortion available and to get one if that is what she wishes. No matter what your religious beliefs may be, you can't tell another human being how to live their life. You can certainly advocate for pro-life, but to make abortion illegal simply based on your beliefs is not how this country was meant to run. You don't know what their life or situation might be like, so you have no place telling them what they should and shouldn't do. No matter what, it's a woman's decision, and it is her own. Don't make the choice for her.
