Controversial

Abortion is such a touchy topic. Especially if you happen to be discussing it with an extreme right wing and an extreme left wing (I stayed quiet and ate jelly beans during this heated argument). I'm not saying that anyone is right or wrong. I feel that the position I take is the one that makes the most sense to me. You guys can choose to agree or disagree as much as you like or convince me otherwise; however, I still think that my perspective is the most reasonable.

Neither am I against abortion nor am I for it. Does this make sense? I'm not going to go around advocating abortion and telling people to get rid of their babies because they cry too much and defecate on expensive rugs and I'm not going to tell people to keep their babies if they're not ready to take on that responsibility. Obviously, if you're not ready to take care of a baby why are you going around and getting yourself pregnant (wink wink). Common sense tells you to use protection, so it's ridiculous to think that abortions are a type of convenient tool available in event of a pregnancy. People that think in this manner are abusing the system because abortion is something that is not meant to be used irresponsibly. Yet there are instances in which abortion may be essential i.e. rape. Is it not reasonable that someone pregnant due to the aftermath of rape would not want to raise the child of her rapist? Is it even possible to love this child?

Essentially, I think that's why abortion is such a controversial topic. There are so many different situations that it's hard for one to pass judgement for each individual. Everyone is different. However, who are you to tell someone what to do with their zygote? Let people make their own decisions.
