On August 3rd, 2017, my classmate Hailey Casey voiced her opinions concerning abortion on her blog Politics around the United States. She is pro-choice, with her reasonings being that it is a woman's choice with what to do with her body. Hailey believes that women are put in situations where they feel it is necessary to abort their unborn child without being questioned, especially when a woman was raped and impregnated.
I completely agree with Hailey. A woman getting pregnant by their rapist should definitely have the choice to not give birth to that child. Another reason abortion should be legal is for the teens, or the woman who can't support herself let alone the child, or perhaps a woman who just wasn't trying for a baby. Any and all reasons a woman doesn't want or can't bring a child onto this earth should be enough.
On the other hand, Ashley E. argues against abortion in the comments. She states that "the 14th amendment of the Constitution claims that no person should be 'deprived of life... without due process of law,'" but that's saying that the justice system will decide for a woman that she must birth and care for a child that she does not want. Is that at all Constitutional—forcing a woman to endure the pain of child birth for a life that hasn't yet lived?
All in all, I absolutely support abortion, with hopes that if I ever need to have one in the far, far future that I would be able to.
