Critical Thinking
Essay 1
A Belief That I Strongly Feel
As ancient as the argument may be, I still feel very strongly about the issue of abortion. As a woman and a pro abortionist, I certainly oppose all legal blocks to abortion. I have felt and will always feel that the question of abortion is ultimately a decision that the woman has to make. A woman may want an abortion if:
• shes too young or too old
• shes single with financial or emotional problems
• she has a large family already
• she has marital problems
• she has a serious disease which would be made worse by pregnancy
• she has a hereditary disease in her family
With there being so many different personal reasons why a woman may want or even need an abortion, it would be unconstitutional for the law to decide which ones are good enough. ... Though I would encourage having the child and giving the child up for adoption, I have personally known far more women with lasting severe depression after giving a child up for adoption than after an abortion. Maybe, if these women can be sure that their child will be placed quickly into a loving, permanent home, then more women will choose adoption over abortion. ... Although each individual reacts differently, surely its understandable why a raped woman would want an abortion. It would be even worse if abortion was made entirely illegal, because women may be forced to have secret, "back-street" abortions, which can be very dangerous.
