Theirs, Yours, Hers

Abortion is a topic that has not been bounced around but hurdled across the legislative for decades. I can not say that I understand what these women go through when they go through such procedures, but I do believe that it is there choice to do as they please. Taking a life is something that is wrong no matter the age, but overseeing the physical/mental condition of the person whose main priority is to take care of said life for the next 9 months is even more wrongful.     

When it comes to this topic I am torn on what side to chose but I always lean towards pro-choice more than often. I notice a lot that people refuse to see anything from the women's point of view, most of the times from other women themselves. To which I don´t understand, aren't they supposed to be on our side too? Shouldn't they understand the stance others are coming from? Women get raped, we get harassed, and we have to face the aftermath of it all. These women who go through such events live with such traumas, such horrors and it's not something that gets better over time. So when a law states that if a women does end up getting pregnant and that she has to keep the baby isn't the government forcing her to relive that event over and over again on repeat? 

Another idea that comes to play is that there are certain events that come to play in pregnancies that can cause complications in the beginning and sometimes even towards the end. In these cases I believe that if it comes down to it no matter the pain, the mother should be saved. I would rather see a healthy mom rather a motherless child. Which brings me to a solution that has been brought up multiple times, ¨why doesn't she just give her baby up for adoption?¨ There are 400,000 kids in foster care as of 2014 and the numbers have stayed consistent since, not only that but there are 2.5 million kids who are homeless in America. That means that out of every 30 kids one is homeless, one person out of every class has nowhere to call home.  By giving these kids up for adoption we are possibly making these numbers increase more than needed. Not only that but not every family/foster care/orphanage will be able to provide the same love and support needed. It's a hard topic to swallow but it's what needs to be voiced. It is not their body, it is not your body, it is her body and it's definitely her choice.
